Let's Build a Zoo

Sep 26, 2022

I’m practically overflowing with positively for Let’s Build a Zoo and it’s absolutely deserved. Once you become accustomed to the controls, as well as the basics, everything flows brilliantly. Creating an animal empire is addictive, with so many options in terms of buildings, decorations, and animals to ensure variety.

Let’s Build A Zoo is exactly the kind of game that is required to sit amongst some others in the genre such as Two Point Hospital and Campus along with Planet Coaster. 2013’s Zoo Tycoon was lacklustre when it came to the gameplay element and became more of an interactive simulation rather than the deep and intricate running of a business. The development team have done fantastically here with ensuring the game echoes those nostalgic Theme Park vibes whilst creating a potentially never-ending addictive gameplay loop. Whilst the controls could be slightly better tuned, you do become accustomed to them fairly quickly and the rest of the package makes up for this slight shortfall. Not only does Let’s Build A Zoo look pretty with its gorgeous pixel-art style presentation, it consistently gives you stuff to do and brings spontaneous moments with its unique animal spawns.

Regardless of whether you're just dipping your toes into management simulators for the first time, or you're a hardcore experienced management tycoon, this game has something to offer you. Let’s Build a Zoo: Dinosaur Island is the sort of simulator you load up for half an hour only to look at a clock when you’re done and realize you’ve lost half a day. At the time of this original review, Let's Build a Zoo and the Dinosaur Island DLC were only available to play on PC.

Overall Let’s Build a Zoo is a great refresh of the park building genre. It allows you the freedom to make whatever type of zoo you want, in a way that feels fun yet not overwhelming. The designs are adorable, the music is catchy and sweet, the gameplay is beautifully smooth, and it’s challenging enough — but still relaxing and highly addictive.
