The two discuss the morality of the decision, which would require a magic ritual to give Antea energy taken from spirits or the souls of murderous humans. Planet Coaster 2 is nearly here with an array of fresh new theme and water park rides. Additionally, actually interacting with people is not great. Though the amount of socialization options were robust, they felt strange, oddly specific, and/or surface level. Their presentation was also overwhelming, as clicking on a Zoi causes a paragraph-sized cloud of social options to pop up on your screen.
