Wasn't there a Ragnarok game for Vita? That's why i thought of it.


There was indeed.  I'd say the metascore for it was more mixed than it was "very low", though.

I didn't actually look for Rollercoaster 3D metascore today, but I looked just before it got released. Just in case this would actually be good, didn't have any hopes though, as expected, at the time the score was somewhere in the low 30s. It's actually rare that I look for these things, because usually I can make up my own mind. Sometimes though, it's not clear. Likely, SimCity 5 next year will be another game for which I will look for some reviews.

*checking Metacritic*

Yeah, it's 38 now. The clue was still relevant.

But yes, it's not an obvious fact so it's understandable of missed, but Rollercoaster 3 was published by Atari, instead of Infogrames. That change changed the developer too, for the worse. While there were some good things in RCT3, gameplay was very bad and slow compared to 2 and you could only build like 10% of the rides and scenery of the previous two games (I mean, no tunnels?). To me, RCT2 was the compete package and with it's two expansion packs, you can basically build everything you want.

You're also right about the RTS/Simulation games! The two genres are quite well represented in my list. They are really the only reason I still have a (Windows) PC. The other day I thought of one I forgot; Dungeon Keeper should've been in the list somewhere in the 40s. Ah well, next year I suppose!
