Critic Reviews for Park Beyond
This throwback management sim's incredible building tools are let down by a limp campaign and a serious lack of depth.
Park Beyond brings a delightful sense of whimsy to park sims, but gets derailed by frequent bugs, poor staff control, and bad economics.
Despite making an excellent first impression, Park Beyond ends in a downward spiral that's exciting in a coaster, but lethal in an economy.
Even with its twisted takes on nostalgic ride designs and copious whimsical fanfare, I was left feeling deflated by Park Beyond's business-oriented objectives and lack of investment in unbridled player creativity. For a game that endeavors to push the limits of your imagination, it's a little too concerned with whether you’re tall enough to ride.
Park Beyond is a hugely enjoyable park builder that thrives on accessibility, personality and creativity.
Park Beyond is a good theme park management simulator, deeper than it seems, but with a differentiating factor (impossible fantasy attractions) that does not convince or compensate for the scarcity of roller coaster models available.

Despite its veneer of limitless design possibilities, players are ultimately constrained in the types of attractions they can create and pursue during the campaign. While Sandbox mode is your best bet for getting creative with all the bells and whistles Park Beyond has to offer, it too is not immune to the myriad of glitches and technical issues present throughout the game. Although you can spend hours designing and constructing your ideal park, the looming threat of crashes diminishes the incentive to do so, even in Sandbox mode. While there is an innovative theme park sim beneath all the glitches and design flaws, Park Beyond ultimately doesn’t break new ground in its genre and would benefit from taking a few pointers from its predecessors.
Park Beyond is a decent game for fans of the theme park simulation genre, its gameplay is solid enough, and there are many options to choose from when building the park of our dreams. It lacks originality, though, and there are still quite a few bugs and glitches that can negatively impact players' experience.
