Not the best endgame, but truly a great tycoon game. (Better with mods)

Very fun game to play however there's really not much depth and the endgame can be a bit of a drag. It's worth the price but I'm not sure how much time you'll make of it compared to other more complex tycoon games.

I really have no idea why I put +200h into this game...

So addicting and so much fun, as a simulation it runs out of fuel unlike Football Manager games, but it's still fun to play throughout the story.


Somewhere between frustrating and fun. I got a couple dozen hours out of it.

Kinda weird that you have to research sequels.

quality game hidden behind a horrendous art style

these fuckers still owe me a steam key

Incredibly shallow and repetitive...but...I cannot say I do not love seeing numbers going up

Bir çok defa baştan başlayıp oynadığım bir oyundur kendisi. Güzel vakitler geçirdim. Bence eğlenceli.

A really great game for enthusiasts of the medium that pays homage to its many years of history. Unfortunately though, much like other tycoon games, it loses a lot of focus and becomes uninteresting once you reach the last stretch of gameplay. Plus, I wish there were more ways to customize the games you put out.

A fun little management game.
Gets boring fairly quickly though.
Making up dumb names is most of the fun here.

The game got quite old, but is definitley worth to pick up on a sale.

It's just sad that we have never heard anything again from Greenheart Games after this.

It's probably the best tycoon game released. I played a fair ammount of it on PC, then i got it on android and it became my go to commute game. It stays fresh for a VERY long time.

game dev tycoons a great game, fun little management sim of making games while you go through gaming history (slightly altered) of the past about 30 years(game basically starts mid video game crash of the 80s).

Even the mobile version of this games great because its not that big of a game or intensive to run. pick this game up when you got a chance, its atleast worth the shot!

Feels kinda shallow, but still pretty enjoyable.

Apesar das frustrações, é muito viciante.

everytime i play it i make it to the end

i really love this game,
everytime i get bored i play this and i never regret.
good, awesome game!

really fun game when "MILF HUNTER SEX TIME" gets 10/10

It's what it says on the box, a game development tycoon game. It does its job about as well as you could expect, with how vague the factors contributing to a game's success are compared to something like a theme park. Trying goofy game concepts is fun, and when you make your personal dream game into a big hit, it's extremely gratifying. That said, you're pretty much doing the same thing over and over when you make games, instead of expanding and evolving like you would with a park or a building. I still give it a recommendation, because it's a neat little distraction for the price.

Game Dev Tycoon (GDT) is one of the most addicting formulas I've ever experienced, and I've smoked cigarettes.

The gameplay for GDT goes like this:
You pick a platform, genre and topic for your game

You enter 3 different stages of development

On each stage you have to divide your development time between different aspects of the project (Engine, Gameplay, Story for example.)

Depending on the genre and topic combination you picked, there's a sweet spot where the game will get great reviews and you make a lot of money.

And that's the main gameplay for the most part, you get to twiddle around with some other things but it all feeds into that process. It's insanely addictive when first learning all the combinations and values, and then sort of loses that charm after around 2-3 playthroughs.

The first time I played this game around 2014, I stayed up until 5 AM on a school night and bombed a history test because of it, and I'd do it all over again if I could.


it's pretty good for what it is.

Não continuo porque não saber com concretude o por quê do meu jogo ter ficado ruim/bom me frustra.

It's fun! Not really a huge amount to say about it really. The core gameplay loop doesn't tend to get boring and the game throws interesting new mechanics and new ways to play often enough that the gameplay doesn't get boring.

I recommend!

Just a fun little experience and history lesson on gaming. It's fun to make games with really lewd names get high ratings though. Truly, I am a mature man.
