\"Let's<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s Build a Zoo<\/em> has broken even, less than a week after the oddball zoo sim\u2019s release.<\/h4>\n

Time for a \u201cLet\u2019s Build a Huge Pile of Money\u201d joke? Not quite yet. What this means is that Let\u2019s Build a Zoo,<\/em> currently available on PC, has recouped its development costs so from here on in it\u2019s making a profit. You can check out our review here<\/a>, but it\u2019s a sim game that gives you the choice of running a zoo ethically or, alternatively, getting up to all sorts of suspect shenanigans. And, as silly as its Theme Park style aesthetic makes it look it\u2019s surprisingly deep.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Build a Zoo<\/em> has also made serious headway into the the Eastern market. 15% of the game\u2019s player base are in China, while 13% are from Thailand, making them the second and third biggest purchasers of the game. The U.S. is first at 26% but there\u2019s a fair distribution all round.<\/p>\n

Publishers No More Robots<\/em> and developers are also working on bringing the game to consoles, which is good news. But you know what\u2019s really good news? Our biggest gripe about Let\u2019s Build a Zoo has been fixed \u2013 as of the latest patch, you only need 5 animal types to splice animals together, not 10. As a result it\u2019s now it\u2019s easier to create your own cute and\/or offputting animal mashups.<\/p>\n

You can buy Let\u2019s Build a Zoo<\/em> from Steam now<\/a>, or pick it up on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch in the New year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
