Gameplay loop is essentially a fruit machine mechanic, so it's a gamble/reward process which ultimately leads to a small dopamine kick, this is why you get addicted to its simple gameplay and just keep rolling games. eventually hours pass. However after a while it gets pretty repetitive and boring. there isn't really much depth or content here. It's just simple and addictive loops. I got cheap and on sale, so no harm no foul.

Took a while to get into...butbince I did. I loved this game. I have recently been playing the Kairosoft games on the play pass and my god, they are so addictive. This one seems daunting (as do many of them to me) to begin with, but once you get the right staff and figure out some combos it's really fun and easy going. Howevee the game for someone like me was still challenging in some areas and that makes you feel like you have achieved something when you start doing well in the game.

The game is brilliant. If you've played Game Dev Tycoon on Steam you'll feel right at home as the concept is more or less the same but there are a number of tweaks that make enough of a difference to keep it interesting. The way games are made uses a different process, fans occasionally get older and so you have to get new fans as the older ones ... (die?) and the employee names are a bit more recognisable in my opinion but I'm truly hooked. I'm on my 3rd playthrough and still hooked.
