F rom Theme Park, through Rollercoaster Tycoon, and on to Planet Coaster, PC gaming has always been the true home of theme park management games. And 2023 is going to see that lineage continue, with Limbic Entertainment’s Park Beyond looking to take theme park management simulators to a new level, both in terms of fun and craziness.
