    I think its game is okay for this year but its need a big uptade or remake because the game is kinda short, thats why this game needs remake but still a very good game.

    i spent 22 hours in this game (steam) and i think that's a really good indie game, but the lack of option with time leaves something to be desired and if you restart the career the game just start to get bored, you can finish the game in like, 7 hours, but this is for the future, i hope Greenheart Games make more games, better than the first. By the way, this game does what promise, and asi spent 22 hours in this game (steam) and i think that's a really good indie game, but the lack of option with time leaves something to be desired and if you restart the career the game just start to get bored, you can finish the game in like, 7 hours, but this is for the future, i hope Greenheart Games make more games, better than the first.

    Моя любимая Инди игра в жанре экономического менеджмента, да и стратегии в принципе.

    Developer simulator, well, in general, it's okay, though the original will quickly get bored, but it's good that there is a Workshop that will allow you to imagine yourself as real developers.

    Unsurpassed simulator! I have long dreamed of finding a game of this plan. You can feel in the place of famous gaming companies and make your favorite game.

    I was surprised to see the metascore , simply a game that should be on your list , graphics suited to the experience , simple gameplay , but mechanics on another level .

    A simple design, yet so addictive. This is the type of game you will play for a few minutes or hours every now and then, to chill after a hard day.

    it is a great game if you come not wanting the most story and it is a fun arcade like game and is great for the price if you dont expect it to be very "business insider" like.

    Game making game. I think it's fine. The variety and the low number of bugs make the game good. Even though I played a few times, I did not feel like I had already done these. It could just have been more plentiful, and sometimes it gets pretty hard.

    In this game you cannot expect the super graphics, nor the mega complex story.
    The game is designed to be casual that does not require mechanical skills and is suitable for all types of people.
    Regarding the versions, there is a big difference in cell phones to PC. Mainly in the HUD layout. On the other hand, it takes into account real events that marked a before and after in the video

    On the other hand, it takes into account real events that marked a before and after in the video game industry. likewise, the other events are well planned.
    Support mods allows to fill several of the gaps that the game has. Highlighting; The monotony of creating video games, lack of statistics to improve simulation quality, and most importantly, the lack of long-term content.
    It is not a bad game for what it brings, given that it cannot do much more considering that it is an Indian and the theme it deals with. Nor do I expect a sequel or something similar.

    This game is very fun. I had a very good time playing it.
    It has some problems, but is a great game for an indie developer.

    This game is amazing. the first time i played it was in 2014, and i thought it was okay. recently, i got back into the game. i used a few mods, which made the game-play even better. mods are what upgraded my 8/10 to a 10/10. it makes the HUD and the UI better, and you always get some new content with all the mods.

    Can be a little challenging, but once you get the knack for it, it becomes really addictive. I played this a lot a few years ago, but I'm afraid to touch it again because I don't want to get sucked back into it at this time. Great little game!

    One of those indie games, whose support for developers for 5 years, having a large base of mods and fans.
    The gameplay is at the same time simple, partly hardcore and exciting for many hours.
    One of the best indie games in my life.

    Taking into account the quite low price and the almost non-existent technical requirements, Game Dev Tycoon is a good and above all original game, albeit without great pretensions.

    However, I don't really think Tycoon really wants to be more than ‘a glimpse' at video game production, and any attempt to comment on the industry from this dull, monotonous experience fails to hit its mark.

    What is it like to start with a few thousand dollars and end up in an office full of people producing multi-million gaming hits? This game lets you find out and makes it worth your while. [Nov 2013]
