  It takes the game developing game to a whole new level, where you can have multiple game studios working on different games, or the same game all at the same time. While you can also make your own game console, you can also make your competitors make games for it, meaning you most likely will sell more consoles.

  [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.

  Going into it I thought it would be just another Game Dev Tycoon clone and while of course while it is very reminiscent of GDT, it expands upon it in quite a few ways! The largest thing here is having more than 6 employees and more control of the studio itself, along with the ability to have multiple studios. Honestly when I realized I could create and name multiple studios and have them make their own or collaborate on projects I was super excited. While I wish there was some more options in stuff such as console cases, overall this game is really fun and well done, especially since it was made by one dude.

  I really want to love this game, but I've ended up hating it. It is so close, but at the same time, so far. And the irony is you'd have to rip out several hundred features from the game to get at the essence that would make it great. It fails as the sum of its far too many parts. It should have been Game Dev Tycoon +, and starts off with a similar feel of early bedroom dev fun as you try to move into your first studio, but it quickly turns into Game Dev ADHD. Whilst it effectively keeps you glued with it's 'just one more click' hooks, it inexorably accelerates into a mess of plate spinning and frustratingly watching entire platforms be born and die before your eyes whilst you wait for your team to develop a single new game, because you didn't keep up. And just when you think you might have a handle on the game concepts, it adds in some more to put an end to that hope. The biggest flaw is that the game encourages/demands you to expand your studios and staff in a sort of mini-game played out on a pointless city map, and thus keep up with resources required for the ever-accelerating pace of technology - but the kicker here is that *you don't want to*. What you *want* to do after a while is focus on developing that perfect game, with one studio - a work of love, patch it, and then keep the online base happy, and you just can't afford the time to do that or you fall behind. It feels like a thing you can never get to enjoy, because the Dev of *this* game wanted to add in every possible aspect of game dev (and beyond - like building your own consoles), at the expense of any time to savour your creations. I've tried to play through this game twice, over a year apart, almost having fun each time, but there was a point reached each time where I just suddenly went 'ENOUGH!', and within 30 seconds after hours of investment had quit and uninstalled it as well, because it had just got so ridiculous I wanted out. That is never the response you want a strategy game to have on you.

  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.

  I used to have erection problems but after playing this game I'm now rock hard. I used to want to make games irl but after playing this I realised that's too much effort. I've played Game Dev Tycoon & Mad Games Tycoon but they aren't half as good as City Game Studio. It's so easy to lose hours playing this, you can make your own engine to make games, make your own consoles and online store. You can pay other publishers to make games for you, buy shares in competitors but most importantly you can get free mods of the Steam workshop to change the name of parts, consoles and publishers/devs to their real life names. I rate this game making game a in game made game out of ten.

  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
