Walls neatly snap into place and can be moved up or down without any fuss, objects are easy to find using filters and a search bar, and the editor doesn’t have any problems with letting you merge objects or plonk them down at weird angles like you’re trying to create a non-euclidean theme park. What was once an unassuming little cube can become a spaceship bristling with alien weaponry or a medieval tavern, and quickly too. Once the structure itself is finished, props can be added to give it character or match it to a theme. Every facility is essentially just a small cube with a little gap in the middle for vendors to ply their wares, and then the building housing the service, whether it’s a toilet or a burger stand, is constructed around it. You aren’t simply placing buildings in a park, you’re designing them as well. Planet Coaster goes one level deeper than a lot of management games. The tools to expand this slight roster, however, are substantial. I found the perfect map, an empty American desert, but quickly hit my first obstacle: there aren’t many prefabricated buildings, and they’re mostly themed around pirates and medieval fantasy. “Wouldn’t it be fun to make Westworld,” I thought to myself, entirely missing the point of the show. It is also a game that inspired me to spend an entire hour constructing a toilet, which inexplicably left me very satisfied. Frontier’s theme park management game, Planet Coaster, does both, letting you create theme parks where the worst thing that can happen is lots of people vomiting. Last week, it went down to no.9.During tumultuous times, there’s comfort to be found in games that peddle nostalgia or task you with making people happy and keeping them entertained. This Obsidian-developed CRPG has been a hit with critics and fans, and was at no.3 the week before. But, it's the no.2 most-played game on Steam, and has been for years, so I guess it's not totally surprising. There's no particular reason why, as the game wasn't discounted during that week. The evergreen Global Offensive is back at no.7 that week. This was timed nicely, too, just around the launch of the game's latest content drop, Operation Red Crow. Siege is no stranger of the top-sellers list, but last week, it landed at no.5 thanks to a 50 percent off discount. It's also currently one of the most played Steam games, so no surprise there. Last week, it managed to land at no.4 and no.8. The game has been dominating the charts with more than one entry for a few weeks now. I don't think Civilization 6 has left the top-ten list since it came out. The standard edition no doubt sold a few more copies after reviews starting hitting. Nothing exciting on that front, unfortunately, as deep discounts will always get you to the top of the charts.ĭishonored 2 is back again after topping the charts the week before. Rise of the Tomb Raider popped up on the second spot this past week after getting a 50 percent discount during the same week. Planet Coaster is an amusement park simulation, from the same lineage of games like RollerCoaster Tycoon. It released last week and has since landed on the top and bottom spots, as well as no.6 for the Thrillseeker Edition. The tycoon game from Frontier has been getting a lot of good reviews and generally decent buzz from fans of the genre. See below for the top-ten sellers for the week ending Sunday, November 20. Games that occupy multiple spots on this top-ten list are a given, and both Civilization 6 and Planet Coaster have managed it the past week. Just like every week, Steam has published the previous week's top-sellers across the entire store. There hasn't been a lot of movement on the Steam charts lately, but new releases still scored big.
