[h1]Before I played Dungeon Overseer, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Its kinda clunky. Things like keeping settings you set don't stay like you set them, with 2 screens moving the screen around is choppy towards the other screen. Theres also the selection of the things you want to build, you have to click on the thing you want to build a few times often times.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
