    Planet Coaster feels like a safe bet

    Parkitect is definitely worth a look. I'd describe the lineage as Theme Park -> RCT1 -> RCT2 -> (nothing for about 20 years) -> Parkitect. I've played Planet Coaster too which whilst enjoyable, reminded me more of RCT3 which I'd rather forget exists. If you really want to live like it's 2002 OpenRCT is a fantastic project.

    The controls are a little fiddly to be honest when you first get started but once you get the hang of it, it’s a really really great port at a fantastic price

    RCT1 was this best. This is nothing like the original.

    I haven't played the Switch port, but I played this endlessly on the PC for many, many years. With the expansion packs (included in this complete) edition, it is, to this day, really really hard to beat as a theme park simulator. Some will say Planet Coaster is better, I definitely can see that for sure. But if you want something a bit older school, then this will provide many hours of enjoyment. This isn't a cheap mobile type tycoon game, nor a later cash in using the name - this is the real deal. So much fun to be had. (edited)

    Don't worry, we get to be allowed to pay like £20 for a port of a game available for a couple of quid on other platforms

    I bought my switch for some handheld gaming and animal crossing, and it rarely gets used for anything other than AC and MK these days, Nintendo are worse than EA in almost every regard in terms of pricing and strategy sadly.

    Occasionally a good deal comes up, but the store is 90% shovelware these days.

    It's not as nice as using the mouse, you can either use the analogue sticks or use the the D pad to move a cursor around. They have made a bit of an effort to make it accessible for such controls, but if it's the kind of thing that annoys you then look for the PC version.

    Can’t speak for switch version… but I loved RCT2… took me a while to get used to working in 3D, but once I did I loved RCT3.
    Don’t buy anything else RCT though… it’s all trash except 1,2,3.
    After that, planet coaster

    There seems to be a crazy amount of people who's opinion differ greatly on this game.

    Some think its the worst game ever, some think its the best RCT ever. Its very, very polarising.

    For me, its the best one (if you include the expansions), it was all downhill after that (no pun intended).
