89/100

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 on mobile is a surprisingly faithful port of the PC original. It’s incredible to have the full 3D theme park experience in my pocket. The 'Coaster Cam' is still the highlight—there’s nothing quite like building a terrifying giga-coaster and then riding it in the first person.

The touch controls are actually quite good once you get the hang of them, especially for terraforming. It’s the full game, with all the scenarios and the sandbox mode. Managing the park's finances, cleaning up vomit, and trying to keep guests happy is just as addictive as it was twenty years ago. It’s a massive amount of content for a single purchase.
