You can’t please everyone. But in Zoo 2, that’s what you’re attempting to do for an eclectic line-up of stakeholders: your grandpa, a city mayor, a rich aunt, your visitors and a bunch of animals.

What we love: How many animals there are. You’ll start small with just a couple of farm animals, but things quickly escalate. Suddenly you’ll go from a peacock to your zoo holding an entire aquarium of orcas. Make sure everyone’s fed... just to be safe.

Quick tip: Everyone wants different things when you’re running a zoo. Someone wants to have fun, someone else needs food and some people are in it for the money. Don’t try to please them all and prioritise what’s important; for example, your visitors won’t be happy if they see an unhappy panda who’s not being fed properly!
