I don't actually think of this game in a negative light, but in the middle. Like many others, there should be a "neutral" option for steam.

I think if the right modders came to the game, the game could last a lot longer. That and the fact that the modders discontinue their mods after a certain time.

As it stands, Game Dev Tycoon is monotonous and repetitive after just a little while. Once you have accomplished a formula, you are able to recycle games over and over.

The reason as to why I am leaning towards negative, is because reviews are inconsistent. If you produce a title that gets a 10, the next one you do with the same genre and settings will either get a higher or lower score. You can argue that this allows variablitity, so the game does not become stale, but at this point you would have all the hints (or the completion something specific) and then the repetition begins.

Also, the unlocks happen way too late. I recommend the mod "Advanced Start without topics".

I say there are better games than this, but this type of management aspect is for you, then I recommend you purchase it, with fair warning.

+ Most people above and below me don't have that many hours in the game.
