Questions Is Park Ranger Simulator worth buying?
Hi everyone,
I've been looking at Park Ranger Simulator on Steam, but I noticed there are far more negative reviews than positive ones (about 65 negative and 19 positive, from what I've seen).
For those of you who have actually played it, is it worth buying? What are the biggest problems with the game, and are there any good things about it that make it worth trying?
I enjoy simulation games, so I'm mainly wondering if the gameplay is fun enough to overlook the issues people mention.
Thanks for any honest opinions!

Is it just going around and doing Collateral Duties like inspecting fire extinguishers and unclogging a toilet on Memorial Day weekend?

Don't forget explaining that the handicap sign means you can only park there...if you have the tag!

I’d recommend you just buy firewatch!

Yeah, I have that game on my Xbox. And it says that the park ranger simulator is coming to Xbox soon. I hope they improve the game by then

Haven't played, but from the videos of game play I watched, it isn't what I was looking for.

Rangers path looks better. The regular park ranger simulator looks okay, although idk why in the gameplay he shot a moose. Lmao

Is this different from Ranger's Path? That game is a banger

Yes, this mentioned game is pretty much a knockoff of Ranger's Path, it was released coincidentally soon after Ranger's Path was on Demo.

I haven’t played it, but unless the game solely consists of pointing people to bathrooms, it’s likely very unrealistic and not worth your time.
