    Practically no improvements made since the last release. Only minor UI changes and the candidates and issues have been adjusted. Overall can't say I'm very impressed at all by it.

    In the previous version, you could play as an alien on another planet which I thought was hilarious and fun. I don't think much has changed since the last version and even some fun stuff like the above has been taken away.

    If you are into politics and wish outcomes could be different, then this game should provide a lot of fun. Those that do not follow U.S. politics though will probably dislike it.    … Expand

    For most people, who just want to beat Trump/Clinton from the comfort of their computer, I imagine that The Political Machine 2016 will do just fine.

    It’s not a long game; even if you select the longest campaign length of 52 weeks, it shouldn’t take much longer than an hour or so each time. But it’s fun while it lasts and has pretty much infinite replayability.

    The Political Machine 2016 has solid mechanics and delivers an approximate but engaging take on the American electoral process, giving players the tools they need to fulfill any kind of presidential dreams that they have. Unfortunately, the game has not evolved too much, other than when it comes to the issues that voters are interested in and the candidates for both parties, when compared to the 2012 edition and that's a shame given the possibilities to add depth to the experience.
