Ultimately, Planet Zoo 2 is a good sequel to what I already considered one of the best games in the genre, even if it doesn't quite improve upon everything I would have liked it to. The addition of aquatic animals, flying birds and the expanded conservation systems are all welcome, and the sheer level of creativity and depth on offer remains incredibly...
So there’s definitely been some progress, and the game has a strong foundation, but I can’t truly recommend Planet Zoo 2 until at least the many bugs, the issues with the online features, and the crashes have been fixed.
Planet Zoo 2 has the elements in place to eventually become a worthy follow-up to its beloved predecessor, but as things stand, the experience is held back by technical issues, messy UI and controls, and some of its new ideas feeling too underbaked.
Planet Zoo 2 is an impressive sequel featuring stunning graphics, realistic animal behaviour, aquariums, aviaries and improved building tools.
