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.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
