“It's like Game Dev Tycoon but more. Much more. I'm glad it can auto decorate the rooms, I would have refunded it if I had to do that manually. PS: I hate multiplayer achievements in a primarily singplayer game.”
“Outstanding simulator. Best of the Game Dev variety, and I've played them all!”

“This game is insanely addictive and is the most detailed Game Dev simulator I've played. I was really into Game Dev Tycoon when I was young and I wasn't able to find anything comparable until I found MGT2. It's brimming…”

“As other comments noted, the game is very shallow. As soon as you figure out the proper settings for each game, there is nothing to do but just crank up the same formulaic games. Music in the game is absolutely terrible…”
“It's not a game, it's a time killer. There's no depth to it, no mechanics to master, no systems to learn. MGT2's game loop is incredibly shallow: you simply figure out the best sliders for each genre through trial and…”
“It's okay. Just kind of boring after a while. All of the building elements are essentially superfluous and sort of exist to punish the player for not properly planning everything out extensively beforehand since…”

“It’s a fun game, and it is really what I wanted to see after playing Game Dev Tycoon. Huge variety of content related to game making is certainly a great effort. The downside for me is that it has too granular settings…”

“It has it's teething issues, and it's difficulty can vary wildly between comically hard and pitifully easy with little in-between on higher difficulties, but if you are looking for a good game dev simulation game akin…”

“When playing at higher difficulties you're limited to playing a specific play style. Similarly to following instructions on how to bake a cake. Much exciting. Very wow.”

“This is honestly the best Game Dev themed game out there and I’ve played a bunch of them—Game Dev Story, Game Dev Tycoon, and Game Corp DX. The option to play as a publisher without developing any games and buying out your competitors is legitimately the main standout feature…”
