It's still small with only a few habitats-two bears, two wolves, two nile monitors (giant lizards), one Galapagos tortoise, plus enclosed glass exhibits featuring two tarantulas and two snakes.
Take my current zoo, which I've named Zoo Bisou. (Image credit: Frontier Developments) Gibbon Architect But some of the stress of Planet Zoo is due to parts of the game not working that well. This is mostly a good thing-stressful experiences can be a weird sort of fun, and heart-wrenching guilt should be a feature in more games. None of the lives you're in charge of actually want to be there, and making a mistake puts those lives in danger. At its most stressful, Planet Zoo is more like Frostpunk or Prison Architect. In fact, forget that I just compared it to Planet Coaster. Planet Zoo isn't just a management sim, it's a survival game.
I couldn't even keep an ugly bug that eats dead leaves happy, and I instantly felt terrible about it. It was because my giant burrowing cockroach's glass box was slightly too humid for its liking.

They can feel fear and stress and lack of privacy and the effects of isolation. They can contract diseases or get injured by fighting one another for alpha status. My elephants, giraffes, orangutans, panda bears, and dozens of other beautiful creatures can starve to death or die of dehydration if I'm not careful. Planet Zoo has several official modes-Career, Challenge, Sandbox, and Franchise-but its two actual modes are Things Seem Fine and Oh God What Have I Done.
