*Game is in early access, so I can recommend with caution. Currently, the game is lacking in features. The pause feature, which is very basic for a single-pllayer simulation, was just recently added. This is evidence of how primitive of a state the game is in, but on the other hand, it is assurance that the game is being worked on and improved. My biggest complaint is the lack of any guidance. I like that there are designated missions, but navigating to the location of the next objective can be difficult with minimal navigation, and figuring out exactly what to do (i.e. key press or mouse motion) can also be difficult. I was just told my shift was almost over and I needed to find a hut to rest, but there was no action to take at the rest hut or my own cabin. I thought maybe I had to go to the park office to end my shift, but I could not figure out what to do once I got to the office. A better tutorial system is definitely needed. Regarding accessibility, this game, like many, lacks a dedicated "accessibility" section in settings, but other games do still have some accessibility related settings even if they are hard to find. Control mapping, mouse sensitivity, and UI scaling are some of the most basic settings this game lacks. Another good accessibility feature would be graphical filters for colorblindness. Due to my physical disability, I also had difficulty with the hammering "minigame." The dot moves along the screen far too quickly for my reflexes to stop it accurately (which is another thing I had to figure out on my own, as there were no instructions for it).

It's criminal that this game cannot be paused, add a pause function! Movement speed is painfully slow, no ability to jump or vault over items. Beautiful environment, and a cool idea. The ticketing system could be great, maybe add a rule book that you can use to choose the correct infraction like in "The Precinct", reward or punishment for incorrect choice. Will consider trying again after future updates.

Have been here since beginning of 2026, and have really enjoyed most of the new features that have been implemented over the last six months. However, with the release of Early Access Update 2 lots of the NPC's have been bugging out and are very cleared AI voiced, which makes me sad because how can a game about preserving a national park be using something that is killing national parks :(

I was cleaning up trash in the game and thought " I could be doing this right now..." and so I did! Now my local trail is cleaner and I got outside. I like this game, gets a bit redundant but the story line missions are unique

My experience so far has been dealing with the lack of optimization, glitches and bugs. I have no doubt this can become a great game, but at this point it's not going to work well on a majority of computer systems. I thought of returning it but I honestly see a gem in development. I think it's just been released too early so I plan to keep it and see where this one goes.

So far it's a pretty good game. Its lack luster in content due to the fact that it's in beta. Really beautiful game With amazing sound design but it is buggy. My main concern for this game is astragon Entertainment They are not a good team. They abandoned Police simulator in a half-baked, unfinished buggy mess They abandoned the original firefighter simulator. And I'm concerned that the same thing is going to happen to this game. Where they focus on DLCs that make the game more buggy Never fix any of it and then abandon it when the community gets mad. I recommend this game but just be cautious of where the future lies. With National Park Simulator

Love the concept, but WHY CANT I JUMP???
