I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen. I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea, and I think about staying in the house to build sewage plants all day. Ahh, this is it. Must be Cities: Skylines - Parklife.
Cities: Skylines has had a number of great expansion packs since its arrival in 2015 that help to sell the feeling that you are mayor for a day. From traffic management to natural disasters, there isn’t much this game doesn’t offer you in the way of proper city simulation. And now your council has a new department: parks and recreation.

Not too long ago, I wrote about the Green Cities expansion pack, which was music to my vegan ears. So you can understand my excitement when I heard about a parks expansion. Then imagine the expression on my vegan face when I realised it added the possibility to create zoos - even if I have a problem with them outside of games. And, who knows, perhaps this expansion actually raises questions around the ethics of zoos.
Of the few parks I’ve built since giving Park Life a go, I’ve only built one zoo. As you can imagine, I cooed over the animal enclosures in a very conflicted way. Aww, there’s a monkey palace! Aww, look at the flamingos! It’s great to see the animals flapping around in their bright colours but the metal bars around them put a downer on the entire experience for me.
