e at PlayerXP, would like to take you on a ride with our comprehensive Sentiment Report on Planet Coaster 2, focusing on the period between February’s Update 2 and March’s Update 3! This sequel to the very well-received theme park creation game has been met with criticism since its launch, causing overall reception to this game to be quite mixed due to lingering issues with stability and gameplay. Since the beginning, Planet Coaster 2 has been receiving monthly content updates that add a variety of new content to spice up gameplay. However, as many players have noted, they seem to be neglecting to remedy standout issues with the game’s stability and various gameplay elements.

This report focuses on the shift in player engagement both prior to and after the announcement of a major update, and how players react to developers prioritising new content over lingering stability issues. For more information and insights, be sure to read the report HERE!
