How it feels

A tranquil and rewarding experience of designing habitats, caring for realistic animals, and managing a zoo at your own pace.

What players say

Players love the animals and creativity but warn that the building and pathing systems are clunky and frustrating. The economy is unforgiving early on, and the staff AI can be dumb. Many find the DLC overpriced, and opinions split on whether the game is relaxing or a source of rage.
