Abundance of possibilities
In Planet Zoo, there are different game modes in which you can test your skills as a Superstructure specialist and prospective zoo director. Especially at the beginning, it is recommended that you take a look at the campaign mode and learn some important basic mechanics. Among other things, the game explains how you can ensure that the various animals don't get bored on the one hand, but also get along with their neighbors on the other.
Once you are familiar with the most important functions of the game, you can play in one of the free Construction modes let off steam. There are no limits to your own imagination. There are 77 different animal speciesincluding insects and various primates that you can house in your zoo. All animals have their very own needs, so only in very few cases is it enough to build a simple enclosure to keep your zoo inhabitants happy.
Planet Zoo: That little bit of extra spice
If you're looking for a change of pace, then the Planet Zoo also offers game variations such as the challenge mode. In this mode, your zoo is occasionally hit by minor or major strokes of fate, which you have to deal with as the zoo manager. While you are working on the finances for the next quarter, a disease can spread in the monkey enclosure, which you have to counteract quickly. The rhinos have escaped from another enclosure and are making the paths unsafe and yet another one of your animals is facing a difficult birth.
You also have the Possibilityvisit the zoo creations of other players in the so-called franchise mode. Here you can not only get ideas to enrich your own zoo. You can also exchange animals with each other. This is particularly interesting if you exchange your own breeds with another player in order to make the already colorful variety of animals even more diverse.
Or maybe you're just looking for a few minutes of peace and quiet to take a look at the different enclosures and their Residents to look at. What the zoo does Simulation is the most fun because the individual animals are not only incredibly beautifully designed, but also all have their own behavior and social structures. For example, you can watch how two pandas play with each other or how a young orangutan clashes with the head of the family.
Almost like the real thing
There is a lot to discover and plenty to experience when your own zoo The zoo covers not just a small area, but the area of an entire continent and beyond. In Planet Zoo, the animals behave in an almost lifelike manner. They form herds, hunt in packs, mate and raise their offspring. As budding zookeepers, players must ensure that the animals develop healthily and that, for example, unwanted mating does not occur during breeding or that old animals are kept away from young hunters. Only if the ecosystem within the zoo is healthy can the Planet Zoo also become a great success.
