User reviews & Ratings

There is clearly a good game in here and it all feels very polished, but for me it quickly became more of a chore than something I was enjoying. It just lacks that feeling of wanting to carry on playing. I got fed up with constantly having to renew contracts and, unless I am missing something, there does not seem to be much actual negotiation. You basically have to pay people what they want or they will not agree. People are also constantly taking time off and upgrades take far too long to complete in real time, which makes everything feel even slower. It also positions itself as a realistic Hollywood management game, but then mixes up film scripts with things like a Western set in a fantasy world featuring a serial killer. It just feels completely random and does not fit with the realism the game is aiming for. I know there is a good game in there and I am giving it a positive review because there is no neutral option. Will I go back to it? I do not think so.
I don't normally write reviews. If a game is fun, I'm too busy playing it. However, I wanted to make an exception for this game, especially given that it's still in early access from a small, independent studio, and given that some of the reviews don't quite seem to understand that. I admit I'm a little biased, as I love the Golden Age of Hollywood, but I also love this game. It seems that some reviews want the game to tell them to do A so that B happens, and then do C so that D happens. To me, that's a visual novel, and not management game. I agree it has a bit of a learning curve (I still get close to bankruptcy sometimes the first couple of years), but a game remaining somewhat challenging after I've learned all its systems is what makes a game enjoyable, for me anyway. Act I does have some scripted elements to replicate the period, but the core gameplay is creating, casting, and scheduling films, as is shown in the images on this page. You don't actually direct the movies; you're less King Vidor and more Irving Thalberg. (And if you get that reference, you're definitely part of the game's target audience.) The game is still in early access, and Act II doesn't currently have a release date, which does seem to upset some folk. Given I have almost 600 hours in Act I, and the game currently cost less than a pizza delivery, I don't see that as a problem at all. I will add that, prior to shifting focus on Act II, Act I was getting frequent updates and fixes. Since the last Act I update, I have experienced almost no noticeable bugs at all. The only ones I have encountered were small, graphic glitches that have been resolved by a reload.
The fact most of the negative reviews talk about overly complicated management and a great deal of windows should really tell you everything you need to know, right off the bat. The fact that their idea of a compliment sandwich is to praise aesthetics and music is a bonus clue. This is a management game. It involves planning, improvising to deal with new events, and knowing how to predict when those events can screw you over. It is budgeting, it is outlining, and yes, it is a little bit of waiting to see whether your plans need touching-up on the fly. There are a lot of windows. There are a great deal of pop-up events. If you're playing at high-speed, you might miss things or go overdue on a decision. I'm not sure what others were expecting, since all of that is made quite clear by promotional materials, but they clearly were not after that. Fair and valid. Perhaps the devs should take a cue from classic Pokémon and attach a label saying basic reading ability is required to enjoy. Maybe then they won't be so confused by the pretty pictures and nice music causing them to spend money on a management game when they despise management.
I don't write reviews, but this game deserves one. If you played lionhead's "The Movies" not for the machina but for the management gameplay and the historical cinema? Then this is the game for you. Choices matter and the hand holding is minimal. Yeah, it can be brutal, especially if you make dumb decisions but that is a business management game. Choices have to have consequence and the game is excellent at making you feel it. Is this a casual game? No definitely not, the start may lure you into that mindset but don't be suckered. The mechanics are deep and vast. Patience and learning are your friends here. Could not recommend this game enough, I know I will end up with hundreds of hours in it.
This is a fun experience. With that being said, an upgrade would be if you get a random roll of stats for staff and actors. It shouldn't be the same starting staff and actors each time. It would add a great flavor to the start position if the randomness of the characters/staff were different every start of a new game. I hope that made sense.
