Addictive! But...
The game is a nice managerial simulation of how to create and develop a gaming studio from the early 1975. There are actually a tons of options and it is clear that the devs made an in depth research of the history of the business. The game design is also very good, with tons of options and a very nice system to make sure you have to compromise game functionalities, based on manpower and specific platforms you develop for. The game start interesting and, overall, it seems there are a lot of things to look for. As the time passes and new technologies becomes available, your options (requirements) to lead a succesful business increase as well, makign the whole more and more challenging. 3D greaphics, online gaming, marketing, porting, games engine... So far, so good. The main cons I have with the games are: 1. Mid-game it is not clear what you are doing wrong for unsuccesful new games. 2. Remasters, even of crappy games, seems to always suceed. 3. Porting a game, even to a platform with exact specs, always go bad (like in the real workld). 4. Even if you add a miriad of additional options, ultimately the game loop is waiting for a project to finish. So, in between projects, there is very little you can do. This, ultimately, can be a bit boring. Overall, is a very nice game. A lot of potential and very high polish.
