Not so perfect. This carbon-copy of Game Dev Story doesn't impress me. – Game Dev Tycoon Review

This game lacks the soul, the well written script and well set story line of Game Dev story. It feels distant and kind of boring, after I jumped from Game Dev Story into this game. Needless to say, a carbon-copy(gameplay-wise) is not exactly what I'm looking for when purchasing this game. I was hoping for a decent, more depth, better scripted, full of stories and surprises version of the original Game Dev Story. Yet very sadly, Game Dev Story, which is released nearly 30 years before, is better than this Game Dev Tycoon in almost every single aspects mentioned above. Graphic wise, Game Dev Tycoon is more modern. But it's not better. Still feels lacking the soul of a very well crafted game. I gave the full credit to the original Game Dev Story, after I carefully played both games.
