Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“An attempt to replicate the success of Game Dev Tycoon. Unfortunately, a watered down, simplistic version of the original gem. No micro-management and only a few special events. Much of the game time was spent AFKing waiting for the game…”
“If you already paid for the similarly titled Game Dev Tycoon then you can skip this one, it's identical.”
