“Ok so here it goes: GamersGoMakers in my opinion: Graphics: 4/10 (in some areas game seems completly unpolished, while in some simple graphic serves well in other areas it simply seems amateurly poor) Sound: 3/10 (Music…”
“This is a fleshed out version of Game Dev Tycoon. It has a lot more content in comparison but lacks in polishing. It's also more complex. There are more areas you need to take into consideration when developing your…”

“For someone who plays Tycoon games a lot and has also played Game Dev Tycoon, which this game is kind of like, this is really difficult, to master this game is challenging, but it sure is fun to play, it also makes you…”
“There once was a time, a long long time ago, when simulation games on the PC meant something. They were large productions and sold well, creating such stars as Sid Meier among others. I bring that name up because, it…”
“1st off I am going to avoid making comments regarding its art design in comparison to games in the same market as this (i.e. Game Dev Tycoon), but rather focus on the game itself and will confess I have not made it to…”

“A LITTLE UPDATE: the game has improved since release, and the developers really work on it. Today is really an alternative for Game Dev Tycoon or GameBiz. --- So, in brief... An interesting game, and the price is…”
“This game fits really nice between a casual game and a tycoon game. I read the negative stuff and decided to d/l the game anyway. I played Game Dev Tycoon since it came out in 2013. It was fun and I found myself playing…”
“Very addictive, well worth the money for the money. I like these types of games from time to time. I will keep an eye on what the developer does in the future. That being said thee are a few bugs though and the in game…”

“A lost of people are saying that it is a "ripoff" of Game Dec Tycoon, and I have this to say first and foremost. I've played Game Dev Tycoon and yes, this is somewhat similer, but it is NOT a rip off of it. It has…”
“This game is awessome! People keep comparing it to Game Dev Tycoon and its not some clone the game play is completely different in GDT. The only thing those two games share is the graphics looks similar to GDT. I love…”
“Very addictive game. I would say I like it as much if not better than Game Dev Tycoon. Pretty much the same just with a diff look and slight diff feel to it. It is still in EA so if your uncomfortable with that just…”

“I saw a company named 'LucasFarts'............. 11/10 "A must play" No, but seriously this is a pretty good game and is definitely not a rip-off of GDT. This game has much more content and has a longer learning curve.…”
“Okay Guys and gals, comparisons are going to be inevetable. This is game dev tycoon 2.... If y'know the same company actually wrote it. It plays like they took all the consumer feedback from game dev tycoon, and folded…”

“It's seriously a bug fest. Half of the time I don't get paid by publishers, the other half my game projects simply stop at 100% and I can't release and have to quit the project and lose money. Can't make it past 4 years…”
“I used to enjoy this game when I bought it, now it's been about 3-4 months since I've played it. In about 6+ months there is NO patches to fix bugs, and these bugs can lead up to crash and game not saving. As stated 6+…”
“Ok, after playing 3 or 4 hours, I found that there were more bugs than I had expected. I will still give it a thumb up and I believe these problems will be fixed soon, BUT BE AWARE of the lack of polishing before you…”

“I was curious of the other Game Management games out there. I started out with Game Dev Tycoon (Throughly enjoyed that game with 200+ hours), then I tried Game Tycoon (Which is absolutely dreadful, don't waste your time and money. You're better off wiping your butt than spending…”

The game is a direct ripoff of Game Dev Tycoon. The developer is apparently MIA and no updates have been done since…”
