  [b]TL;DR: Game Dev Tycoon, but with significantly improved replayability, depth, and options. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten any more attention so far.[/b] This game is probably the best game development company manager currently on the market. Starting in 1975 (by default, but can be changed), you have to run your own game development studio until the late 2010s, taking into account the changes in the gaming industry that happen during that timespan; from the 1980s crash in the home console market to the release of the latest generation of consoles. The core gameplay loop is simple but engaging. You develop a new game, choosing the genre and a matching theme, along with the platform you want to release the game on. Then you go through the three development phases while adjusting sliders to fit the genre in all of them (for example: a casual game would need better gameplay design, but a less interesting story, while the opposite may be true for an adventure game). The amount of options for genres and themes is already massive in the base game and it can be very easily increased with mods, which gives this loop insane replayability, similar to what it had in Game Dev Tycoon. And just like in that game, seeing a game get nigh-on perfect reviews and sell hundreds of thousands of copies in its first month is the perfect dopamine boost. As the game goes on, games will grow more and more advanced. To keep up with the increasingly demanding audience, you will need to develop your own game engines to add new and exciting features into your games. This, again, is no different from Game Dev Tycoon. This time around, however, you can choose to make your engines open source, which will allow your community to improve on them for free, or you can allow your competitors to use them for a fee. You can also use your competitors' engines yourself, if you're willing to pay them for it. But City Game Studio not only adds features horizontally, by giving more options for features and genre/theme/platform combinations, it also gives you more to do vertically. You have to actively compete with other game companies, with the ability to buy them out and trade their stocks. Perhaps most interestingly, you can develop your [i]very own game consoles[/i]. There is also the ability to develop your own immaterialized store, like Steam, the platform you are using right now! To accomodate all of this, you can buy multiple studios across the city of varying sizes, customize their insides, and hire as many staff as you want. If all of that didn't sound impressive enough, I'll have you know this entire game was developed by just one person, who is still actively improving the game and communicating with the community. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to fixing the coffee machine in my third studio.

  I played this game a few times and it was ok. But the developer kept supporting the game and made the ok game in the best game development tycoon experience I have had. Its not as fancy as mad games tycoon 2 but it has so much charm and the interface is so responsive and fast there is always a "one more go" mechanic. The game keeps getting better with every update and the fun factor is trough the roof. This developer deserves your money and you get a lot for it in return.

  A phenomenal developer who actively listens to the community still continues to support this game and its great to watch it grow. This is a game I come back to yearly. Every year the dev has added a new twist and I play for another 15 or so hours. This is a £13 game that eclipsed its rivals in the genre and provided vastly more entertainment and longevity than many £60 games. The developer should be proud of this achievement. No game is perfect, but what is here is excellent and vastly overachieved my expectations. I look forward to seeing what you do after you’re finished here.

  GDT (Game Dev Tycoon) has been THE standard for this genre of games (Game dev tycoon genre), but I can no longer say that GDT holds the crown to being THE standard. City Game Studio by far should be looked at as the GOLD standard for this genre. The developer has listened to the fans, and has implemented new things, updates after updates, which is remarkable. If you like GDT or Game Dev Story or any other game in this genre, I HIGHLY recommend buying City Game Studio at full price, period. It is ABSOLUTELY worth the money. If you are on the fence, get off it and get this game! Pros + Give contracts to others + Multiple studios + STONKS + CREATE YOUR OWN CONSOLE + Porting to other consoles + All consoles in existence + Easy to understand + All themes unlocked at start + Choice to have a long or short game. + A lot of genres! + A LOT MORE Cons - UI might be daunting at first

  I think this game has the most features so far out of the early access games but in doing so it feels like it not as immersive and compelling I think the stats could be better (in terms of data tracking) competitor studios IPS ( and your IP dont feel like a brand or licence ) BIGGEST SELLING GAMES OF ALL TIME list ( this should be a must have feature ) little things like this would make it more immersive I don't see numbers apart from my own games (in terms of stats) I feel like if I am a Power house like EA it should be my studio that wins game of the year and gain recognition not just me its the little things that will make the big features feel more deep that could make this game class A worth a buy because we should support the potential

  This game is without a doubt the most immersive, complete and effective game dev sim ever made, and this statement is no hyperbole. I stumbled upon this game around two years ago and have followed its long journey throughout its early access process. For the past year, during the fine tuning process of its development, this game has added many features that other game dev simulators either lack, or fail to compete with in this game. You can do things like buy your competitors(who are dynamically programmed and can make their own games, buy out each other, expand etc..). You can make your own game console, handheld or home and choose the components in it. You can chose to be publisher, or even build your own version of steam within the game. The amount of things effectively packed into this sim leads me to recommend this game. If you have been looking for am immersive game dev simulation experience, this is the game for you

  Nope! It pretty much rips off Game Dev Tycoon to the T! I mean, damn! At least change something! And yet, is worse in every possible way. The UI is clunky and confusing. You don't really know what's going on because there's way too much going on with almost no really direction. Yes, there are pop-ups that tell you what is what but they aren't triggered at the right time and usually get so lost in the mess of a UI. The gameplay, it is exactly like Game Dev Tycoon but misses the mark in every step. While GDT made the reviews more or less random with some elements helping to prod the reviews in a certain way. Here. it is straightforward. Pick a combo that has a good score with a trending genre and keep all the sliders within the recommended limits and there you go! A good game. Change any of that slightly, and it's bad. I mean, think about it for a second; If you focus on optimization more than what is "recommended", you end up with a bad game. HOW?!!!! Also, why aren't there resolution options? Most of the text, icons and images are low resolution and it is so annoying! Why would a 2019 game have low res assets? It stayed in early access for 2 years but I think it needed way more time than that. It's simply not a polished game. If you ripping off a game, at least make it better than the original or make it cheaper. But no. It's neither. Not worth your time or money

  [b][i]City Game Studio: A tycoon about game dev[/i][/b] is a tycoon-style title where the player manages his video game company. The game starts in 1976, but the start date is configurable. It all starts with odissey, and ends with the era of last generation consoles. Players have to create their game engine, manage one or more studios, fulfill contracts, unlock new genres, manage marketing campaigns, manage servers, manage a dematerialized store, negotiate with console manufacturers to obtain exclusivity or the right to publish games. They also have to manage the competition, crack their game to increase sales and hackers to get their secrets. Inspired by a few similar games like [i]Game Dev Story[/i], [i]Game Dev Tycoon[/i] and [i]Software Inc[/i] this is probably one of the most advanced in the genre. It's absolutely crammed full of features to keep you and you business busy. The developer mentioned that since the initial release they've added in "hacking, cracking, training, building, modding... I mean you can have several studios working on the same project, you can make your own video game console or your own digital store, the shop has been revamped" and so much more. Masterful execution of balancing addictiveness and enjoyability. [b]THE GOOD[/b] - Solid, despite some limitations - Over 500 user reviews giving it a "Very Positive" rating - Most advanced in the genre - You can have several studios working on the same project [b]THE BAD[/b] - Not the best graphics - Easy to loose oversight [h1]8/10[/h1] DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | [b][u]GREAT[/u][/b] | AMAZING | MASTERPIECE [quote] If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.
