Our take on City Game Studio: Your Game Dev Adventure Begins
Players may bounce when the studio grows beyond a single location and the game shifts from making individual titles to coordinating staff, buildings, publishers, rivals, contracts, and several studios. The many overlapping management systems are the likely wall for anyone seeking a lighter simulation.
