Would bite again

Cool

It's a good game if you survive the debts that it throws my recommendation is get 2,000$ and MMO research before getting the 2 studio

Love

It Is awesome

Amazing

This was a great game there are only a couple of bugs I have experienced, myself. I think the mmo aspect is very cool and adds another layer of depth to this great game. I recommend this game to everyone, as it is a blast to play!

Nice game bro

Hey, nice game bro. It's fun because you can evolve and it's really satisfying because you can see the money bar go up and you can go like 'Yes I'm making progress!!!'

So much fun

I absolutely love this game. And the only thing that bugged me is that you start in the 70s. Why do I have a big screen tv and a top notch computer. Shouldn't I start with a computer back then and upgrade it. But I still love it. It's so addictive

Amazing (And Idea) ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

This Game Was Amazing But I Noticed You Released Another One. Maybe do you think you can Make A Game That lets you Pick What You Want To Be e.x: Game developer, Restaurant Owner, Science Lab Owner, Etc The ideas of a game like that are endless. I would develop a game like that but sadly I don't Know how to code. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Awesome

I really enjoy this game

Fun but...

It keeps crashing while I'm playing and every time it crashes I lose almost all my money

Great game I recommend

This game is epic it's fun being able to create games and consoles and game engines getting a whole company and becoming famous enough and win awards! Get it it's worth the money!

Can't Stop

Really smart, fun strategy game. Lots of little details to manage and room for creativity, I've hardly stopped playing since I got it and I'm not one for mobile games. Hoping for future updates and content, but as is this game is really, really good.

Bugs and Glitches

This has happened to me several times after deleting and reinstalling the game. When I get really far (I've passed the current year and nothing new is able to come out) a glitch prevents me from creating games. I pressed "Release Game" and then the game was gone. It didn't publish, I didn't get any money, so I wasted thousands of the in game money and nothing happened. Now, I have a game that has been made, but there's no option to release it. I have thousands of dollars and t was fun, and now the only thing I'm able to do is sit around and wait for the company to go bankrupt. Because this has happened to me multiple times, I gave the game one star. It does everything it's supposed to and is a good game until this happens, but this game breaking glitch is enough to lower my rating of a 5 star game to a 1 star.

Just Wonderful

As a big fan of games, I just love how this game puts you in the shoes of an entire game company. The real-time like movement of time really adds pressure in release dates and timing in general. Very challenging, and research points are earned pretty slow, but overall, this is a wonderful game that is more than worth the cost!

Best Game I've Ever Played

Game Studio Tycoon 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. While I've never been able to play Game Studio Tycoon 1, I feel it would have been good but nothing compared to this game. When I first opened the game I fell in absolute love with it. I knew it was worth the money. The first time I played I failed but it only made me want to succeed and play the game more. All in all Game Studio Tycoon 2 is a remake of Game Dev Tycoon but it's better in every which way!

Waste my money

Want my money back!

The game works well minus one issue

When you create you own console that's costs upwards of 10 million dollars, the games you make for it never turn a profit no matter how many consoles you sell. I sold 600,000 consoles and the games I make for it have -700,000 profit even though they scored an 8.5/10 or even a 9/10 from critics. Not sure how to fix this bug/issue.

Blatant Ripoff of Game Dev Tycoon

This game blatantly rips off Game Dev Tycoon for the PC. If you enjoyed this game, look up Game Dev Tycoon.

Horribly buggy, almost unplayable

This game is fun but numerous bugs make it unplayable after getting far enough along in the game.

* Games released for your own consoles sell ridiculously abysmally. I released a console which sold about half as well as the "MES" and released a game-of-the-year, perfect 10.0 game that sold so poorly I lost over a million dollars on it. Similar games released on the "MES" or fake Sega consistently made 1-2 million in profit.

* Games developed for your own consoles are listed as being developed for the PC or Atari 2600 in the Game Info screen. Is that why they sell so poorly, because a glitch in the game makes it think they are for a system no longer on the market?

* Games for your own consoles cost way too much to make compared to other consoles: 4-5x as much. Why?

* Using more than one team is next to impossible. To release a game for the second team while the first is developing one, for example, you have to wait for the status bar to manually cycle through options until it shows the second team's game. This can only happen when the game is unpaused, so this means your second team will be sitting idle for 1 month+ waiting for the option to release their game.

* You can spend research points while the game is paused, but the research point meter doesn't update until the game is unpaused, which gets frustrating.

* Doing contract work always defaults to the second team, even if it is empty, meaning I'm constantly having to move people over to the second team to work on a contract I mean to assign to the first

* Hype disappears stupidly fast, which means if your second team is working on a game it will be all gone by the time the status bar finally cycles to the team so you can release the game.

* Maintenance costs for MMO keep going up exponentially, which is not realistic. Did Blizzard have to double what it paid to host its WoW servers each year? It makes MMO games next-to-impossible to make money on.

* longer development cycles seem to have no meaningful effect on game scores.

* In-house games don't affect custom console sales very much. It seems like a game-of-the-year might increase sales of your console by a few thousand at best. Combined with the guaranteed horrible sales mentioned above, there is literally no reason to develop games for your own console, and no reason to develop your own console unless you like throwing away $20 million dollars you spent hours working for.

Game breaking glitch!

I was playing, doing hot, but then it refused to release my games. I hit release and nothing happened. This is game breaking and needs fixed.

Crashing

Good game but Game crashes every time I am trying to create hardware. It's annoying.
