OpenRCT2 is great on PC! Also consider Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic. It's a really good remaster of the original two games with modern touch-friendly controls and it has excellent iOS and Android versions that play really well on tablets.

I see a lot of beefs in the reviews about the UI (especially on smaller screens like phones). How's the game compare to RollerCoaster Tycoon Netflix, which is more highly rated in the Play store?

Yeah the UI would be tiny on a phone and I wouldn't play it that way. But on an ipad-sized device it's a dream.

That other game you linked is something else entirely. It's a modern mobile interpretation of RCT, but not at all related other than sharing a name and them. Where-as the one I linked IS the original legendary game. I would skip the modern mobile game personally, as I don't like that of game.

It's surprisingly great on iOS, even with the small UI factor. I managed to play it decently on an iPhone SE years ago. Would definitely recommend it if you want to play it on the go as it's still very fun to play nowadays.
