The graphics are stunning, but I don't think the devs fixed much of anything between all of our beta feedback and this release. Game time is much too fast to be able to enjoy your animals. They die too quickly from old age unless you constantly pause the game, but then of course you can't watch the animals DO anything when they're paused.
During the beta, gamers compiled long lists of excellent feedback about the beta's clunky user interface. I'm grateful to those people for their hard work. Unfortunately, virtually none of it was heeded. The finished game has that same clunky UI nearly unchanged.
We were promised endearing social interactions between animals. In my zoo, animals show no interest in each other except for fighting. Newborns immediately run away from their mother and never return. We were promised individual colors and markings, but in my zoo all the wolves, for example, look identical. Wolves also fight constantly, the moment a wolf pup grows up he fights with his parents, injuring or killing them.
I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed in the game and don't recommend it until these issues are actually worked on.
