This month, PC Gamer is bringing you worldwide access to Planet Coaster 2, the incredible up-to-date amusement park and water park simulator from Frontier Developments. PC gaming and amusement park simulators have gone hand in hand since Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog Productions created the legendary Theme Park in 1994, and now, 30 years later, Frontier Developments is taking the genre to a wonderful up-to-date level of creativity and realism, allowing gamers to not only create and manage their own amusement parks, but now their own water parks as well.
In our authoritative cover story, PC Gamer heads to Cambridge, England to visit Frontier, play Planet Coaster 2 for hours, and then interview its lead creator, Rich Newbold, to give our readers the complete inside scoop. But here’s a hint… this game is going to be a hit! To celebrate, this month’s PC Gamer magazine has a special collectible lenticular cover that magically transforms from one image to another depending on the angle you’re looking at it from.
