    What a lovely Christmas release. You left 14 years ago after dropping Canyoneer, and Creag Mhòr picks up right where you left off, with a heavy focus on the natural environment. However, the less serious side from Zippo’s is also present, and I can tell how you recycled certain (Scottish) elements from that park as well, as well as the castle screens you posted in the AD back then. Creag Mhòr is a summary of your NE career.

    The map instantly draws me in with the sound design. Music complements the architecture to establish a strong sense of place. First thing I did is actually follow the river instead of going into the park, and the sound of the water was so soothing! I heard a distant waterfall so I went to look for it, and there it was! And I followed up the waterfalls, and came across the remote part of Ghillie Dhu - what a spectacular setting for a coaster. The entire coaster is 10/10. The setting, the layout, but also the station and queue area and interactions with the launch. Absolutely fantastic work.

    I’m not going to describe everything that I see and like right now, I hope to do that in a later review (I have yet to write my Zippo’s review, fifteen years later, oops). For now: fantastic work on all aspects here. Sound, sense of place, landscaping, architecture, rides, and fun detailing and storytelling. Welcome back, for real now!

    Really enjoyed the park! So cool to see your style of parkmaking with all the new objects and features of the game. Everything is super cute and well-fitting; it just feels really good, especially with the custom music as you explore each area. The macro is top-notch as well, and definitely a huge improvement from your past work! Really enjoyed taking in the vibe zoomed out and exploring around the landscape.

     

    Overall it was a great viewing experience. You have a unique style and it's very refined in this park. Glad you are back on NE!

    Man much to love on this park. The landscape and foliage is the main highlight here, you already showed you mastered that with Canyoneer and this is taking that up a notch. I loved to wander around that forest, the added nature sounds add so much and make it almost seem real. 

     

    The uniform architecture was a strong aspect of this map and helped a lot to make this place feel real and believable. I like the selection of rides and how subtle they were implemented in their environment. All with a great respect to the domain. 

     

    The Ghillie Dhu coaster was my favorite, love the Helix/Toutatis mash-up and it flows really well. Loved the colors on it as well, many people would suggest against all green colors but I like it a lot and I'm glad you went for it. 

     

    Really liked this park, loved to see a map this big mainly filled with forest. Outskirts really were great, this whole map feels like I could just walk into it. Wish this was a real place.
