You have very little freedom when it comes to the customization of your rides and attractions.

The coaster trains don't stop at the stations, and the riders are modeled as part of the cars, so the coaster always appears full, even when it isn't actually carrying passengers.

No chain lifts or special track sections, the coasters have no trouble going up inclines, obstacles are nonexistent, the track can clip through scenery, as well as its own track, and the Switch controls are imprecise.

The coaster track construction is a mess.

The launch price for the game on Switch was $49.99, which is very overpriced for a game that's technically a mobile port.

Many of the series signature scenarios have been simplified for a younger audience, and as such, are too easy in certain instances, and there are way fewer than in previous installments.The frame rate can drop to single digits depending on the size of your park and the amount of NPCs currently in it.The game was filled with bugs and glitches at launch, some of which still have not been fixed.

Nothing in the game has management or upkeep costs, meaning that once you put a ride or shop down, it will always generate revenue.

False advertising The game was advertised as a new, next-gen title built from the ground up for Nintendo Switch, until it was eventually revealed that it was nothing more than an HD port of RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch, a pre-existing freemium mobile game.

Finally, the crowdfunding included an Irregular Use of Proceeds clause stating that the invested money may be used for "Vendor payments and salary made to one's self, a friend or relative Any expense labeled "Administration Expenses" that is not strictly for administrative purposes Any expense labeled "Travel and Entertainment" Any expense that is for the purposes of inter-company debt or back payments." In the other words, Atari stated that they will not using all of these crowdfunding money for the development of the game but using it for their own personal uses.

A $1500 donation would entail that same 25% discount, as well as a copy of the regular edition of the book, The Art of Atari. With a $750 donation, you would receive a 25% discount on the game upon its release. You would not be given a copy of the game for your investment.However, it can be explained by the company's massive deficit following their 2013 bankruptcy which forced them to sell most of their development studios, reducing them to a small studio, and the disastrous failure of RollerCoaster Tycoon World further worsened Atari's financial situation.Atari later stated it was an experiment to see if such funding could be done for future games. And what's worse, the campaign pitch video for it literally states in the first 30 seconds that Atari has made over 2 billion dollars from their game franchises, yet never explains why they decided to crowdfund in the first place. While crowdfunding in general may not a bad idea, the execution for the campaign was flawed, with the terms being the minimum of a $250 donation in exchange for a chance of a small percentage of the profits.Rather than being funded in-house by Atari like previous games in the franchise, Atari instead sought to crowdfund the game via StartEngine and advertised it through a very patronizing campaign pitch, though this was scrapped as the campaign received universal backlash.
