Planet Zoo 2 hands-on: a beautiful sequel with aviaries, aquariums, and nature reserves

After a few hours of hands-on play, Eurogamer's Matt Wales says Planet Zoo 2 keeps the original's solid management core, with animal welfare, staff and guest needs, and the economy still central. The new aviaries, aquariums, and nature reserves feel like refinements rather than a gameplay overhaul, with aquariums needing a filtration pump and attention to salinity, temperature, and depth, and aviaries needing roof supports. The author also notes the nature brush, seasons, and a launch offering of 9 themes and 136 animal species.
