Park Beyond
In Park Beyond players can create the park of their dreams, without being held back by gravity! As the newly-hired visionary architect for a struggling company, players will be able to create mind-twisting theme parks. Players can create rides they have always dreamt about but that couldn’t exist in real life. Along with Phil, the enthusiastic park veteran and Izzy, the stern but friendly executive and a host of other colorful and passionate characters, players will pave the way to a successful and profitable park company. Thanks to accessible controls and a story-driven campaign mode, players will get to learn the ropes of park management and build increasingly crazy rides and modular coasters.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
