Don't blind-buy it if you think it's like Game Dev Tycoon. This one seems much deeper, but the polish is not on the same level as the first game. It's very confusing, with far too many choices from the start, and it doesn't feel as good as Game Dev Tycoon. The game isn't bad; it's just not what I expected from what I had heard (e.g., "it's much better than Game Dev Tycoon" or "it's Game Dev Tycoon but with even more gameplay, like building, etc."). The first few minutes didn't make me want to play more. TL;DR: This game is more different from Game Dev Tycoon than it is similar.
I've come back to this game so many times through the years and still find it very enjoyable.

In my opinnion this is the greatest game dev tycoon out there, not mad games tycoon 2 not game dev tycoon but the og Mad Games Tycoon, I mean seriously this game is hella immersive you can FEEL as if youre in the times you play in, and for only 60 bucks this game is a hell of a lot content, you get to make games with new features appearing up to the 2020s I think, You get the last new console component in 2030 and you can start the game in the 1980s, you can buy out developers and become teh sole monopoly that controlls the entire world game market with 200 million fans, or you can simply be a small stuido that dies and becomes a relic of the past, sure it gets repetetive after a couple playthroughs, but its really neat seeing how you can rise through the ranks to become the global leader in the market. The game really hits its peak when you reach the 2000s as thats when you unlock the internet and can start making MMOs and F2P games that are hosted on your servers, I really recommend it as its really immersive expereince is unlike any of the other game deveelopment tycoons Ive played. If I had to rate it on a scale of 0-10 Id rate it to an 8/10 as yeah it could use some new features.
Llevo muchísimas horas en Mad Games Tycoon y, sinceramente, es uno de esos juegos que parecen simples al principio… pero cuando empiezas a entender cómo funciona todo, no puedes parar. Lo mejor del juego es la profundidad: no es solo “hacer juegos y ya”. Puedes diseñar motores, investigar tecnologías, gestionar equipos, analizar el mercado, crear consolas, comprar compañías… y todo influye de verdad en el resultado. Cada decisión cuenta, y cuando un juego te sale perfecto, la satisfacción es brutal. También me gusta mucho que no te regala nada. Tienes que aprender de tus errores, revisar informes, mirar tendencias y optimizar cada detalle. Esa curva de aprendizaje hace que cada partida sea distinta y que siempre quieras mejorar el siguiente proyecto. A nivel de contenido, tiene muchísimo: campañas largas, modo libre, dificultad ajustable y una rejugabilidad enorme. Es el típico tycoon en el que dices “voy a hacer un juego más” y cuando miras el reloj han pasado horas. Si te gustan los juegos de gestión o el mundo del desarrollo de videojuegos, este es prácticamente obligatorio. No será el más vistoso gráficamente, pero en jugabilidad y profundidad está a un nivel altísimo. Totalmente recomendado.
Mad Games Tycoon (2016) taught me three things: My employees need breaks every 14 seconds. Every game I make is either a global masterpiece or a financial war crime. No matter how big my studio gets, someone will always be crying in the bathroom. I started in a garage, made a hit game by accident, built a console that nobody bought, and then went bankrupt because I forgot to add toilets. Truly the most realistic game‑dev experience imaginable. 10/10 would ruin my company again.

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.
Great and very addicting game that has a few issues. I came into this game way late. I was going to get the second one but figured id try this one first cause it was cheaper. Must say I was very impressed. I booted it up and next thing I knew it was 3 am and i was wondering where the day went. It takes what game dev tycoon did and polishes it to a shine. I especially like how the genre combos that work make sense. I always felt like in game dev tycoon you needed a guide to figure out what works with what. Here it just makes sense, including the sliders. Not knowing anything about the system you can get pretty darn close just knowing what people like in each genre. I loved all the different ways you could play and make money but there was one thing i had an issue with...and its huge to me. Time... How fast the time goes by. I like to take my time and relax with a game like this. I dont want to feel on edge the whole time trying to do 50 things at once. Especially in the early game you will try to research all the new tech, then go and make or update your game engine if your lucky do a contract or a round of training, then go make a game and by the time you start making a game....the next tech is out and now you on an old engine. There were soooo many times Id want to start working on a game, but id have so many things coming at me so fast the next thing i know a year or two has gone by and i still haven't started my game. Even on the slowest setting. For instance at the start i may want to train up my character, then work on an engine, then maybe make a game. But i start training and by the time im done, two new tech upgrades have come. So I research them, then go make my engine, another new tech comes. So i start researching them but now I have a stack of contracts to do. Its always something. Thats my biggest issue. I cant just sit back and relax and take my time. Other than that...its a great game and I cant wait to try MGT 2, which ive heard is the much better version. Hopefully that one will allow me to take my time, especially when you consider that once the in game tech dies out....there is no more after so many years and all the games you make get lower and lower scores after because its made with old tech...even though you have the best the game has...and nobody wants to rush to an end game that punishes you for making it to the end game...lol. Overall...and easy B+ game.
