It’s fine, it’s also frustrating
The game is fine, I really like the creation of the facilities, it’s much more complete than in other games and it gives some interesting gameplay. That said, the game is FRUS-TRA-TING!

The game is fine, I really like the creation of the facilities, it’s much more complete than in other games and it gives some interesting gameplay. That said, the game is FRUS-TRA-TING! The scenarios are timed, for example, the game gives you 1 year and a half of in-game time to meet certain objectives, which is about 1 hour and a half of real gameplay if I’m not mistaken. The thing is that even if you meet those objectives, you STILL have to keep playing until the time limit runs out, the scenario doesn’t complete automatically.
This is because there are objectives like, for example, reaching a visitor happiness rating of 90. So you can reach the objective, but later on, due to some problem you might have, it can drop. I hit my limit when I was playing almost a whole scenario, I had to reach a visitor happiness of 93 and right before the end the happiness dropped by one point, causing a game over and forcing me to replay the ENTIRE scenario, and sorry, but I don’t have hours of my life to spend just to see if I get lucky and everything works out. So I’m sorry, the game is fine, it’s entertaining, but I had to drop it. Still, for playing in free mode and building yourself a nice custom zoo, it’s fine.
