Planet Zoo 2 received 84% on Metacritic, and a week after release, players are massively complaining about technical issues.
The sequel from Frontier Developments was rated three points higher than the original. Out of 5,400 user reviews on Steam, only 62% were positive.
Players complain about bugs and changes that worsen the user experience. Among the issues are teleporting animals, fish inexplicably ending up in crates, and visitors protesting over empty enclosures. The community is also posting new examples of glitches on Reddit.
One player admitted that they hated leaving a negative review for a beloved series, but in its current state, Planet Zoo 2 causes irritation more often than enjoyment.
The situation looks better on PlayStation: the game received 3.97 out of 5 stars in the PS Store. Frontier Developments will have to fix issues that are increasingly affecting player reviews.
