Frontier Developments follows a very strict model of support for its games: on the one hand, it aims to create very rich base packs, on the other hand, it aims to release DLCs that satisfy certain tastes of the public, without trying to convince everyone every time. It’s a bit like selling different dishes, hoping customers will always find something they like. This philosophy has been implemented by the British studio several times, for example with Jurassic World Evolution or Planet Coaster, which in some ways has proven to be a winner, for others it is confusing for those who like to have all the content of a particular game. If we want, the same economic mechanism adopted by EA is the same economic mechanism as the last installment in the series, The Sims 4, which now features dozens of different expansions that cost several hundred euros in total.
For this Planet Zoo: Wetlands Animal Pack review It’s just a formality, so it’s easy to understand what to expect from the title, and if you know the game well, it’s just as easy to make purchase reviews starting from it.
animals
In terms of content, Planet Zoo: Wetlands Animal Pack offers: eight new animals and a challenging scenario, as well as various objects to make our parks more swampy. That’s in line with what other expansions have to offer, and as we’ll see, even reasonable reviews on this one aren’t a millimeter different from those for other packages. Eight new animals: capybara, platypus, pygmy otter, spectacled caiman, Nile lichi, wild water buffalo, Manchurian crane and Danube crested salamander. There are seven habitat animals plus one to display.
As always, the player is asked to create everyone’s surroundings, making life enjoyable for the enjoyment of the animals and tourists who will flock to see them (in some cases even from very close by).
In terms of gameplay, it doesn’t change that much compared to Planet Zoo’s standard formula, if not for some features of the habitats that make the creation of the environments weirder, such as the presence of essentially flooded areas. However, everything is handled in the usual way, so it is simply a matter of giving more importance to water than the habitat of other animals.
usual models The animals are made to perfection, both in appearance and animations. After all, one of the pleasures of Planet Zoo is to watch the virtual lives of our zoo guests live as if we were tourists, and in this respect, Frontier did not disappoint among the mating dances and otters. evolutions in the water, platypus diving and many more pleasures where animals do their best when satisfied.
Challenge scenario
Also he challenge scenario Compatible with other expansions. Set in Brazil, in the Pantanal, the movie sees us battling a zoo that will be arranged and beautified in a way that will allow you to communicate with all the new animals very quickly. The goal is that seen in other scenarios: to take over the structure and manage it to become active, modify existing habitats and add new ones.
The challenge offered is nothing compared to other scenarios (the higher the difficulty level, the less time you have to succeed in business), but it’s undoubtedly a great way to take advantage of new content right away, without having to grow the zoo first.
when you say new decorations, we liked Planet Zoo: Wetlands Animal Pack less than other packs like the Europe Pack. It’s really a matter of taste: if you like swampy environments, you’ll love it, with its collection of aquatic plants and natural passages. We are dealing with probably one of the most natural scenarios ever.
