This is the thing, really - Planet Coaster is an intensely complicated and detailed simulation game. Index fingers get a thorough work-out tabbing between core menus with the bumpers before you dig deeper to get to the more granular aspects of park-running. We’ve certainly come a long way in terms of control methods for games like this, and in places it’s fairly elegant. The answer is, as you’d expect, complicated.

Planet Coaster is still most at home on a keyboard and mouse, but this port is an admirable controller-based effort.
