I do not legitimately review games on steam very often

I also do not try to say that another game was trying desperately and failing to be another game, I'm not that black and white about games.

But boy, I only had 30 minutes with this game and requested a refund asap because gOD THIS GAME!

Since I'm a lazy frick tho, I'm gonna just post the notes I wrote down while playing and then expand on them

lets begin

*I expected a GDT wannabe
*Read good reviews
I saw this game and the first thing I thought was "why would I buy this if I already have Game Dev Tycoon" BUT saw so many people say "but it's better than GDT tho" and said "aww what the heck" and wanted to try it out

*I'm not impressed yet
*THIS GAME LOOKS UGLY!
*AAAAAAAAAAAA
Okay, listen here, I'm not that dweeb that judges a game by how it looks, I could name so many games I like that don't look that good. However, the freaking MAIN MENU just looked SO gross. Not only that but I looked through the logos for a company and found issue with this too.

You see, the custom logos are full of parody companies, which are chuckle worthy, but if you want a custom name it generally wouldn't match up with the logo. Now, some people could ignore this, it's small I understand, but for someone like me that would...NOT want a mismatched name and logo (I'm weird okay?) I have to go with the generic logos. Which would be fine (again I know my issue can be considered a personal problem) but the generic logos look...dumb, like they put so little effort into them because they were just SO PROUD of they're funny parody logos (The EA parody logo isn't even a parody...it's just a blunt EA).

On top of all this, when I finally pick a logo and a name, it shows me the portrait of our player character

it literally looks like some garbage I'd see in a low budget game from the early 2000s...

...or a no budget game indie game with 0 effort or soul behind it

I just got annoyed looking at everything.

*Starts new game
*The graphics look even grosser when you start playing
Refer back to what I said about how the game looks like low/no budget garbage and double it

I hate it.

Now before someone brings it up, I wanna go back to Game Dev Tycoon, the game I can't help but say this game is trying to be

I like Game Dev Tycoon's graphics because it has a style, it's cartoony and even tho it's not amazing, it works for what it is. Mad Game Tycoon's graphics look like a game with an identity crisis

and a brain tumor...

*This perspective bugs me
Idk how to explain this, I genuinely don't, but the camera angle just...pisses me off to look at, feel free to ignore this point if you want to, but mixed with the ugly visuals the camera just makes me angry.

*I'm so bored
This kinda speaks for itself

*Try to make first game
*Um
*Did I mess it up?
*I had to restart the game cuz it glitched
This is when the game 100% lost me, the game was teaching me how to play, I placed down desks in my office and the game told me to start development on a game. I grabbed my guy, dragged him over to the left

and...he got stuck, I don't exactly know what happened but he just kinda got stuck. I didn't know what to do so I just started clicking things, I clicked the desks and they...disappeared, like entirely, they were removed for no reason and guess what?

My guy was still frozen.

So I basically had to restart the entire game because the game

stopped

working.

Like...was this just me? I wasn't trying at all to break it and it just...broke.

*Try to make game again
*Religion!?
*Idk if the tutorial stopped becuz my game glitched but I have no idea what the heck any of this means
I was going through the menus and stuff and I saw what it was trying to do, it was the same concept of GDT's game development menu, with just a little more added in. Thing is, I didn't get to figure out what half of it meant, because the game broke and when I restarted the tutorial just didn't turn on

even tho I did not disable the tutorial before starting up the second game.

A lot of the options on the second page were just labeled "My Games:", didn't know what they meant, never found out cuz I stopped caring before I found out, whatever.

*I um...started development but...nothings happening
*My guy's just walking around
*OH! OK! I HAD TO DRAG MY EMPLOYEE TO HIS DESK!
Nothing conveyed this to me...

Nothing...

Unless the tutorial said to do this but...FRICK man I wouldn't have been able to know...

*H O W I S TH I S BE T T E R T H A N G A ME D E V T Y C OOON!?
*GDT worked becuz it was simple and straight to the point
This game, from what I saw (including the reviews too), obviously wanted to have a hand over Game Dev Tycoon by adding more stuff, but I think this actually huurrrrttt the game more. Going back to my previous problem, I genuinely think the idea of having to drag the employee to the desk to make him to work, while not being a big problem, is just an inconvenience that I don't see the point in. Game Dev Tycoon was straight to the point with every thing, it was simple and because of that I didn't have to think as much about all the little things, which made it FUN TO PLAY! Now I'm not gonna say that adding more ruined it, it's just how it was done, I didn't care for any of what they tried to add

it was just all...meh.

*I'm still bored
See I had this idea for a big point I had against the game to put here, but I actually forgot it once I got to this part of my notes.

So...oh well!

*Everything moves so slow
*Idk why the sales thingy is moving so slow and nothing is being conveyed to me, I can't even see the ratings
*Everything keeps moving and releasing before I even have time to react
When I released my game, I saw the sales thing pop up, but um...it just kinda moved really slowly...it didn't even give me the number rating for my game, one of the things that made Game Dev Tycoon fun to me. On top of this it kept saying consoles and games were being released before I even had the chance to figure out what was going on

mix this with the other frustrations I had with this game and all I was left wonder was...

*What is this game and why did I waste 14 bucks on this?
This is the last time I trust steam reviews, even if they are considered "Most helpful", it tries so hard to be Game Dev Tycoon but is too busy with it's ♥♥♥♥ in a blender to actually be worth the money. Want my advice?

Stay with Game Dev Tycoon and save your money for something more worth it.

It sucks, it's not fun because all ya do is go BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH! and that's it. It stupid and cheap and I hate it.

The end
