I often hear people refer to Game Dev Story (Kairosoft) and Game Dev Tycoon (Greenheart Games) as the original games that led to a sub-genre of game and software development games. Perhaps they did but the culmination of those early efforts came with Mad Games Tycoon. One thing I never enjoyed about GD Story and Tycoon is how bad the RNG could get and the black box nature of the mechanics which made them feel unfair after a while. Mad Games Tycoon doesn't pull any of that over your eyes, you have a pretty solid idea of where you went wrong and what you can do to improve next time. Progression makes sense and whatever you unlock has a meaningful impact on your ability to manage, sell and make money off your games. This game just clicked really well and did a great job selling the feeling of managing a game studio. Great fun if you are into management games, I give it 8.5/10.
