I've been playing this game since Eric was in the alpha/beta testing back in 2014/15. It has been a long road to a true successor to the 90s game Detroit. Those who played it know what I mean!! GearCity is a game that puts you in charge of a mfg car company that needs to address production, sales, mkt and the most fun part is to design your own cars!! Give it a try if you like simulation games; this one has been one of my favorites since forever!

I know almost nothing about cars. I drive a Honda. It gets me from point A to B in relative comfort and safety. That didn't stop me from building a car company that survived the Great Depression, World War II, and rode the post-war boom to international dominance. A+ game. Very addicting once you figure it out.

The game offers exactly what it promises. If you find tycoon games too simplistic, this is the way to go. It's one of very few management games that try to go really deep into the actual management. Taxes, loans, bonds, stocks, splits, branches, marques, sub companies, dividends, unions, competition and everything else you can imagine. Running the company is really fun. You will definitely learn to read the montly reports to find things hidden between the lines. The competition is real and not scripted. The economic situation changes etc. Designing vehicles and parts is pretty straightforward but it gives a lot of different strategies. Are you going to develop just one type of a part and reuse it for different car models? Or you want to design specific parts for each? Do you aim at luxury clients with high prices and low sales or are you going to go for mass production for casual client on minimal margin? Will selling cheap cars affect your company ratings and maybe it's beter to create a different marque for that? Are you going to preserve money or risk high by issuing bonds and hoping to increase profits to pay them back? Are you goind to go public and will you later buy back your stocks or continue to dillute them? Or maybe you want to buy stocks and possibly take over other companies? Are you going to invest heavy into R&D or maybe you preffer more marketing? This game might seem hard to get into but the tutorials explain the basics and it's not really that hard to get into itt. After a few hours you basically know everything you need about the game mechanics. But learning to actually drive a successful company is another thing and this can take much more time. The game has many different mechanics to explore but non of them is overcomplicated. I find it well balanced between complexity and playability. The UI might seem a bit overwhelming at first but honestly you quickly learn how to use it and automation helps you with micromanagement as the company grows. It's an amazing game and well worth the prices especially if you are interested in some deeper simulation of economics and a feeling of really running a company in realistic environment.

As someone who enjoys spreadsheets a little more than is probably healthy, this game is fantastic. It made me forget that my employer laid off everyone(including me) recently. I'm enjoying my unwillingly, but hard earned, unemployed evenings thanks to it And if I were to describe it in one sentence, it would be something like: "If you've ever looked at a spreadsheet and thought 'this could be a game,' you'll probably love GearCity too."
