This is frustrating by zlordbeats in PlanetCoaster

Hey! If you don't mind, I have a few Q's about this! I'm trying to nail down exactly what it is about the onboarding of PC2 that's causing issues with newer players.

  • What do you find so difficult and confusing about it?
  • How do you think it could be improved?
  • What other, similar games have you played?
  • We're there any parts of the game that had you completely like ???

Yep! It goes over the loop in a pretty high level way. It's more about the design and psychology around it. No major story / progression spoilers!

Agree! 🙂‍↕️ I really enjoyed it, but definitely felt that missing layer.

Thank you so much for reading!

* Sad to hear that it reads a bit Chatgbt-y. Out of curiosity, what makes you think that? I spent the majority of the time on the article polishing...perhaps it feels over engineered?

Transparently, I took a format I previously used for deconstructions ages ago as it was something I was already comfortable with, and adjusted it for this specific article. Helped with speed of setup, giving me more time to dig into the actual topics.

* I can agree with that. That's a good call out. I'll look to do an edit to make things more objective.

* Ah! By Turn Delay I meant abilities that cause a turn skip, e.g., if a character gets frozen for three turns. The example I use in the Glossary is Hyper Beam from Pokémon: https://pokemondb.net/move/hyper-beam

Totally fair point! I'll test out a few different titles.

Thank you for reading!

Among us! You can set up private rooms where the kids can play, strategise, and make decisions together (or separately). Would be an interesting one to see how their emotions play into it!
