Parkitect

is pleasant to the point where it’s almost a problem. This is a charming and intelligent theme park simulator that, unlike other recent entries in the genre, places as much emphasis on park management as it does on creativity. Its gentle pace and inoffensive art style makes it easy to get sucked into, but its desire to please also makes risk-averse, and in a year that has seen bold and innovative management sims, it plays it too safe to stand out.
