Just bought it!

Great!!

If I have revised my existing South America hall, it will be so colorful. XD
The new plants are soooo beautiful.

But please fix the error in the area!!
1000m² are not 1km²,
but either only:
10 AR
0.1 Hektar,
or 0.001km²



This Error is extrem confusing!

I know I am simply echoing what others have said, but I believe that this is a major fall down for Planet Zoo. If we look at our predecessor, Zoo Tycoon, the sheer amount of animals contained in it was spectacular. Not only that, but each animal was lovingly designed {which these ones are as well} and had the most endearing quirks and traits - they were not re-skins. It's disheartening that both of the new DLCs contained so few animals. I love how everything can be customised and I love the incredible scenery, but we are all here {let's face it} for the animals.

So many gorgeous animals are missing from the base game (which I understand is to stimulate the buying of DLCs), but to acquire dribs and drabs in this manner is disappointing. I would rather pay more for a substantial pack that comes out every couple of months than the way things are going now, which echo Jurassic World rather alarmingly, and will see a sharp decrease in supporters of the game. Also, I do love the exhibit animals, but they simply cannot count towards a final goal here. At the risk of sounding like a spoiled brat, another frog to add to our collection is great and all but it is not the same as a living, breathing, unique animal for our large enclosures.

I mean, we have two separate brown bear species which are very much alike but are missing a single leopard? Two species of tiger but no gibbon? An arctic wolf, which echoes the timber in mannerisms, but no fox?

Then South America comes out missing iconic animals and with a small (though beautiful) collection of four enclosure species and a little froggy?

I am not only here to be negative, I love Planet Zoo and it is a masterpiece, but I am very nervous that this is the path we are on and I hope that the developers will listen to their players, as they have so far been doing. Platforms like Steam not only give the chance for companies to make some extra money using frequent DLCs, but they allow for a community which should not be taken for granted. It should work both ways, and it often does, but (as in the calamity that was Jurassic World) the community can be ignored, which results in so much wasted potential.

Thank you for this incredible game! With luck we will see 'fuller' DLCs coming out in the future.

wow.... nice... ;))

I could not agree more.

I have bought Planet Zoo at full price as an early Christmas present to myself and there was not a single minute that made me regret my purchase. Later on (that I was sick at home for weeks because of my stupid chronic illness) my lovely boyfriend got me the DLC as a gift, right after I had finished the campaign, got a bit bored but hesitated to buy the DLC (for the reason that I simply could not estimate if four animals (one of them being a recolor of the timber wolf imo), two scenarios and some building pieces are worth the price). With the two additional scenarios, I have spent around 140 hours in the game, mostly playing the campaign. And I loved it, it was worth every cent, worth every minute of my life.

But at the same time I am one of those damn old school gamers, mourning after the good old days when you bought a game full price, maybe an expansion later-on but with no season passes, no DLCs, and no micro-transactions. By nature I have to question a DLC’s value, no matter its price and how much I might love the developer.

Unfortunately I don’t see an exhibit animal as great value (any kind of creativity around it is limited to how you might decorate the exhibit, that’s it - I do love them in real life though) and unfortunately I see recolors the same way I see them in any other game (you can find them a lot especially in MMOs and a lot of people tend to think of them as the developers being lazy and/or lacking new ideas).
The arctic DLC came with two scenarios (which I personally liked a lot) and this offered something for everyone: the animal lovers, the (amazingly) creative builders and the home time gamers. Please don’t blame me for oversimplification, no offense meant, on the contrary. Gamers unite!

I am dead certain that this DLC will be gorgeous in the hands of one of those builders and all those insanely creative youtubers and I am eager to see their new creations! But what comes with this DLC is not a lot in my opinion and it does not offer something for everyone.

Post scriptum (a little bit of nitpicking)
Please correct me if I am wrong but I would expect to find bamboo (as building material) in an Asia pack?

Post scriptum Vol.2
In my opinion Frontier still does a great job. Unlike a lot of developers these days, they deliver free updates, they actually care about fixing bugs and they even bring some quality of life improvements (which others prefer to hide behind pay walls).
But at the same time, at the bottom line, the DLCs and especially the deluxe pack offer less than 5% of the base game for more than 20% of its price, generously speaking.
