I also head of it for a while before I gave it a spin. I finally got around to it about 6 months ago.

The game works really well. I don't remember noticing that anything was still missing in singleplayer. Multiplayer... there was something, but I don't remember what. Desyncs for sure, but I think those were always solveable by just reconnecting. I'm not sure what, but there was a reason why my girlfriend and I didn't play it. We played RCT2 a bunch, with one person watching and the other playing, and OpenRCT2 with multiplayer seemed epic, but there was something annoying in multiplayer, I just don't remember what.

By now, it might have improved again. I remember the development going really fast before. And in singleplayer, I don't think there were any bugs that prevented me from playing.

Give it a spin if you were (or still are) into the original Rollercoaster Tycoon!



Thanks for the info, I definitely will. RCT and RCT2 are among my favorite games ever made. I still load them up at least once every 6 months. Leafy Lake / Lucky Lake will always have a place in my heart.


That's one of my favorite levels too! Whenever I'm unsure which one to load up, that's almost inevitably going to be it :)
