I loved the RCT games a lot but I heard RCT World was a different development team and a bad game. Steam has it on sale for 4 bucks now. Is it really that bad? Is it worth the 4 bucks? Anyone play it?

I tried a friend’s copy. It was not good; it was just ludicrously buggy, and felt unfinished. It isn’t worth the time you would invest playing it, no matter how cheap it is.

Planet Coaster seems to be on sale for 11.24 right now, which is 75% off. While not flawless, most enjoy it far more than RCT World. It averages Very Positive reviews, unlike RCTW’s Mostly Negative ratings.
