Don't waste your money. This DLC plays nothing like the base game with an extreme emphasis on stealth with a frustratingly innane difficulty slapped on it. This DLC feels very poorly thought out and doesn't gel with the tone and pacing of the base game. This DLC just isn't any fun to play.

While this game is lacking a considerable amount of variety and management options that were typical of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games of old, this title exceeds in providing you with the tools to create a complete park down to the most minute details. The possibilities are truly staggering and it should be viewed more as "Minecraft with roller coasters" than as a successor to the original RollerCoaster Tycoon franchise.

The Career mode and Challange Parks are interesting diversions but due to the lack of any real consequences for screwing up and the anemic park management, the true star of this game is the Sandbox mode where you are limited only by your imagination. The controls are intuitive and easy to pick up and the tools for altering terrain are some of the best I've ever experienced in a video game. This game really raises the bar when it comes to sandbox-building.

Be forewarned though. This game requires an extremely powerful computer to run and even with an i7 clocked to 4.6ghz and a GTX 1080, this game will struggle to achieve playable framerates if you go overboard with scenery and fill the park with close to 10,000 guests. There still seems to be some bugs and optimization issues as of the official launch of Nov, 17 but nothing game-breaking in my opinion (unless you densely fill the park, boarder-to-boarder with guests and scenery) so I would altogether recommend this game for anyone who wants to build the park of their dreams.
