Compared to Mad Games Tycoon (1+2) and Game Dev Tycoon , CGS offers a fresh view and takes an individual approach to the genre of game development. The developer’s ongoing updates and improvements are especially praiseworthy. If you love the specific genre, you can buy it without hesitation.

Deutsche Rezension:

City Game Studio ist ein echter Geheimtipp für Fans von Spielefirmen-Management-Simulationen. Im Vergleich zu Mad Games Tycoon (1+2) und Game Dev Tycoon [Ich liebe sie alle!!!] bietet CGS eine frische Perspektive und einen individuellen Ansatz bei der Spiele-Entwicklung. Besonders lobenswert ist der Entwickler, der das Spiel ständig verbessert und erweitert. Wer dieses spezielle Genre liebt, kann bedenkenlos zugreifen.

Really fun! I loved playing this game and still play it on-and-off.

Good game for a fair price. It scratched that itch I had after playing Game Dev Tycoon and needed more. I got more complex experience, not perfect (just some minor issues) but still very enjoyable.

Wow! I really think the dev for City Game Studio found very elegant solutions to some of the problems in game dev games. The biggest one is scale. New option from creating many different studios of a variety of sizes to increasing your talent pool by hiring away from competitors all with little micro management.

I really like how iterations on smaller games is well rewarded. Really does a good job as a game helping to model a large game studio (as it should be).

Looking back on it, I think the consoles are actually pretty well done. In the beginning, they can be major cash cows. You put out something with the best specs and make easy money. Use the games to help sell the console. Then in the late game, costs to make the best console rise. The way to sell the console might be to sell for less than the cost. You are making a market to sell the games to.

Well done!

best game studio sim other than mad games tycoon 2 prolly if you want a more streamlined and causal experience more akin to game dev tycoon.

Basically the spiritual successor to Game Dev Tycoon, and it's reaaally good. Improved upon everything from GDT while also adding a bunch more stuff that just adds more depth and complexity to the game without going needlessly too far.

Very very addictive, the dopamine hit from nailing a game you painstakingly planned and optimised is great.

Great game, really fun to spend hours on this
