About these games

Planet Zoo 2

Planet Zoo 2 is the sequel to the zoo simulation game. Players build and manage distinctive zoos around the world, this time keeping fully aquatic and fully flying species alongside a varied animal roster. Habitats run from freshwater and saltwater aquariums to aviaries made from barriers, support poles and dynamic mesh covers, while authentic behaviours such as herding and grazing bring the animals to life. Global conservation projects let players release species into Wildlife Reserves they shape themselves. Four new scenery themes and five returning ones add pieces, plus blueprints and piece-by-piece construction with scaling and flexi-colour.

Planet Coaster

Planet Coaster is a theme park building and management simulation in which players construct coasters and rides piece by piece from over a thousand building components. The land itself can be reshaped – mountains raised, lakes formed, caverns dug, islands built in the sky – with tracks wound above and below ground. Each visitor is an expressive individual with their own interests and desires, so the crowd shows at a glance how well the park is run; players manage every aspect of the experience and can share their creations through the Steam Workshop community hub.

Zoo Empire

Zoo Empire is a simulation and strategy game in which you run your own zoo. You look after animals’ health, happiness and nutrition, hire employees and add new species, which are unlocked through research. Visitors can eat, drink and buy souvenirs, and animals can be trained to perform in shows. You can play in sandbox mode, where you set your own rules, or in a 30-scenario branched campaign focused on business or zoology.

Zoo Park

Zoo Park is a simulation and strategy game in which you look after more than 40 animal species from all over the world. At the same time you run a professional programme of rescue, rehabilitation, research and conservation. Each species has its own needs for habitat, diet and care, so you plan the facility to suit both the animals and the visitors and earn popularity points. You keep an eye on habitat size, feeding and the animals’ ability to exercise, and hire staff to keep the zoo running smoothly.

World of Zoo

World of Zoo is a life simulation in which the player gets the keys to a zoo and can create and customize it to their own taste. Animals are handled through hands-on interaction, where the player builds relationships and earns their trust. The game offers the Animal Creator for unlimited animals, mini-games, achievements and unlockable content, and more than 40 animal species. Each species comes with National Geographic fact cards, and user-made content can be shared online. Some animals shown in the trailer and screenshots are not included in the current version.

Megaquarium

Megaquarium is a simulator of running a public aquarium, where you design exhibits, look after fish, manage staff and keep visitors happy. It features almost 100 marine species, from fish and sharks to corals, jellyfish, crustaceans and a single turtle. Points earned from guests viewing your displays unlock new livestock and equipment, while a ten-level campaign and a sandbox mode with adjustable settings and a random challenge generator offer different ways to play.
