2 - Detailed Building With A Controller Is A Chore

Planet Coaster Console Edition Advanced Move
Frontier Developments

Piece-by-piece building is more than feasible on Planet Coaster: Console Edition, but as said, it’s been relegated to standing behind the blueprints system. Once you’ve found your way through to the individual scenery pieces via the ‘Create’ tab, you can set to work on building your own- anything piece by piece.

With a controller however, this is incredibly finicky. Moving pieces around on a grid can be a chore. Whilst the advanced move functionality is a great inclusion (I am genuinely surprised this level of control ended up in the console version), it definitely has a tougher control scheme to get used to. It’s not at all impossible, but it’s the one aspect of this title that has struggled to translate over to a controller.

You could always plug in a keyboard and mouse. But that opens up yet another problem.

Born in Theatre, sits at a Computer. After over a decade of tinkering with Video Editing software, Rich gets to spend his precious time editing whatever's thrown at him. Also the go-to for Doctor Who, and could tell you why Sans Serif fonts are better than most. Still occasionally tap dances under the desk.
