  • Still great but runs poorly.

    I love this game. I’ve played it for years on 3 different platforms, including iOS. For some reason this version runs terrible at times. Really hope you guys continue to work on the performance of this game because it’s one of my favorite games of all time.

  • Decent Game

    The game is decent, but there are so many problems. 1. The Broken Rating System. I got 10’s for 2 games in a row, but suddenly on the next game I create, I get 2’s and 1’s, barely any reason whatsoever, because when I check the game report, I get a measly “Dialogue seems to be not important for this type of game”, I would appreciate a report that’s much more specific. Also, I can guarantee the 10’s I was somehow able to get was from pure luck, because I never got a 10 after that 2. The game is way too hard. If your trying to finish the game without using the wiki, then good luck, because it’s nearly impossible. I went bankrupt (for barely any reason, I blink once and suddenly I’m bankrupt) so many times without using the wiki. 3. Confusion. This kind of goes with the first one but it’s insanely hard to know why you’re failing or why you’re succeeding. The best the game gives you is one sentence that barely tells you anything. 4. Way too hard later on. Once you are able to buy the first upgrade to a new base, the difficulty is multiplied by 100, having to handle the workers and all of that other stuff, I can barely describe as I went bankrupt immediately after. 5. Contracts, All I want to say is that we really need a better description on how the contracts work, I never use them since I don’t know what they do. I really hope these issues get fixed as these are ruining everything about the game.

  • This is my favorite game, but…..

    If I could give this review a 4.5 star I would! It’s one of my favorites! I’ve loved playing the original Game Dev Tycoon and I play it around this time every year! When I found out that there’s a newer version of the game with all new content available, I was EXCITED! It was like playing the game for the first time, except for I actually knew what I was doing.

    However, I do have one thing….. There is lag when you get to the last game headquarters of the game. The lag wasn’t there in the original game but it’s here in this version of the game. It’s so bad that I thought that the game had crashed, and if I wasn’t so patient, I would have lost a lot of progress. I would love it if it could be fixed, please.

  • BUY THE REAL GAME

    if you’re about to give a sucky review to this, don’t hesitate to buy the real game. it’s so addictive and much better than this version, trust me. i’ve reached billions of dollars and plenty of 10 star games.

  • No reason to be always online

    I highly recommend buying the original. Neat ideas in this one that I'd like to see explored in a sequel, but this version seems to always need an internet connection. Dumb.

  • I am disappointed. But the game is good.

    This is much like the original, adding new feature that makes it good. But there are things that bug me. 1; It crashes a lot 2; I BOUGHT THE GAME ON NINTENDO FOR 60$, 3; The original game is only around 177MB and this one is almost 1GB, optimizing the game would fix the crashes, so pls do it. As of now in only the second stage those bother me, I am in love with the game. It works better on Nintendo and PC. I’ll keep updating the post when I progress more. Anyways I’m looking forward to Greenheart’s next game.

  • Glitch makes game unplayable

    I am an avid enjoyer of this game and really love the game. Just recently, I started a new company and it gave me a screen that had only story/quest and when I finish the project, it had the title as mega game and all the things looked reset. Please do something about this.
