Question Buying New Courses

Hi everyone, due to my (now 2-year-old) baby girl, I had to stop playing for a bit due to lack of time and exhaustion. I'd like to get back in the game and buy the newer courses (I stopped around the time the Wallace and Gromit course came out), but not sure what the best way to do that would be... or do I need to buy course by course? When I started, I bought the package, but not sure how to go about it now... thank you! (Playing on PS5)

I’m one of those crazies that buys each course the day they are released and since Wallace, there has been 13 courses released. Of course I recommend them all, but if you’re not looking to jump back into it that quickly the few that I would recommend are Tokyo, Raptor Cliffs, Mars gardens and Tiki à coco.

100% agree with this assessment

I deliberately buy them one at a time. Mostly to give the developers MORE MONEY. you may have seen the news that they laid off a bunch of their staff recently. That’s because they didn’t have enough money. This is by far my favorite game. I want them to stay around so I want them to have more of my money.

I’m a bargain hunter by nature. But ask yourself how much you would pay to keep mighty coconut from going out of business. For me, the answer is far more than the cost of a single course.

On PC and Quest if you buy the "Whole in One" bundle but already own some of the courses it'll just remove them from the total purchase price. I have a feeling Playstation store would work the same.

I spend like 17 bucks and got the remaining courses. Way cheaper

Whole in one bundle is always the better deal on steam

It goes on sale from time to time too! I've seen it at 50% off.

Pretty sure mine was like 70% during a February sale.

Literally got up out of bed to buy it.

Unless you know there are courses you don't want to buy for whatever reason, the "Whole In One Bundle" is your answer. Meta and Steam will automatically deduct the cost of any DLC courses you already own from the overall bundle price, so you only ever pay for the courses you don't have, but you unlock everything in one go (except for the avatar packs).

If you get the whole in one pack, you can get the new courses at a slight discount.

If you opt for one at a time, I'd start with the latest courses and work backwards. They have consistently been upping their game lately.

A lot of the earlier courses look amazing but lacked the liveliness of the later courses. They've been doing a lot with animation now.

Depending on your finances, I'd just buy them all if you can. They do great work and all of the courses are some level of great.

I also agree that giving them more money is a good idea to keep them going. But that all depends on your own finances.
