The network is frequently down, they've changed the rules so that other squads are way less likely to pick you up if they drop you, and they've stopped maintaining DMZ. Giving Activision any money, now or in the future, would just feel like throwing it away.

This game has great potential and is already fun. It's still in active development and they're making good progress.

This is an excellent game, perfect for adults or children or couples or singles. Wholesome, challenging, and rewarding, with a top-tier soundtrack and excellent art. This would be a thumbs-up for sure EXCEPT that the game disconnects randomly and frequently when playing multiplayer. When you're disconnected your inventory is preserved but when you rejoin you spawn at your home, not wherever you were, so if you're in the middle of a mining run or something then you're screwed. Sometimes this happens two or three times in as many hours, and sometimes it happens every in-game day. This problem makes the game unplayable for multiplayer.

None of the steps suggested thus far in the community solve the problem, and until the issue is addressed since multiplayer is unplayable I can't recommend the game.

This is a great game but there is no way to save in the middle of a run. Runs average 30 minutes, so if you get to minute 27 and you lose power or your phone shuts off or another app takes control of your device (for mobile players) then you're screwed on the last 27 minutes and it's like you never ran at all.

Can't recommend the game until this problem is addressed.

Latest update deleted my wife's 200-hour save. The devs published some guides on how to recover nuked saves using backup files, which would be great if any of those backup files actually existed.

Pretty angry about that.

This is a great little game. It can be mastered and 100% completed in only a few days, but it's fun and inventive. The soundtrack is okay and the text could use a little polish, but the gameplay and balance are excellent.

It doesn't give you any kind of tutorial - you just have to experiment and learn as you go, though there is a built-in compendium which gives good hints along the way.

Great game, worth a bit more than the $3 I paid for it.

This seems to qualify more as a proof of concept than an actual game. Not much here, but I will concede that the creepy atmosphere in levels 1 and 2 is spot-on.

Game Dev Tycoon is a fun strategy/simulation game in which you manage your resources to build video games. Starting with the Commodore 64 the game will walk you through time all the way up to the XBone, Ouya, and PS5. You choose which platforms get your games.

The music in this game is okay, but there are only two tracks. You're better off listening to your own music.

This game doesn't have much replay value unless you're trying to get all the achievements, which is feasible but a little time-consuming.

This game is appropriate for gamers of any age and experience level.

This game is definitely worth its price.

For folks who like making assembly lines, this is a very simplified version of the same idea but still challenging and well-made.

This game is definitely worth its price.
