Movie Tycoon Simulator 2020 Reviews

I just waste 10$ on this trash.! GAME UNINSTALLED!!!

We need to update the game with new megaplex

Simple games. Once you get the hang of it there is not much to do. Just wait for the time to pass to unlock a few things. Recommended but only as a time killer.

I was looking for a movie star agency management/studio game and this is the closest I could find. It has a lot of the game play elements I was looking for- "Write", cast and produce films based on actor and director stats/ set, effects and costumes cost and release to fanfare or flop. This game definitely has that, although the movie production aspect of it takes a lot longer than I'd like. The time between productions is spent upgrading your theatres to be able to charge more for tickets, and managing releases and advertisers as well as keeping the food supplies for the various concessions stocked. As you progress through the days, more parts of the business unlock. The game play loop is quite addictive. I do wish there was a x3 speed to make things just a little bit faster. And the graphics leave a lot to be desired when played on desktop, but might look just fine on a small screen like a Steam Deck. All in all, I do not regret spending the money on this game. I'm sure I'll play it for at least ten hours to make it worth it :)

The game play is VERY slow, which probably replicates the Hollywood schedule. But other than that, it's alright if you just want to pass the time in rare instances when everything else is boring you and don't want to put in more effort than a few clicks every minute or so. An update might help make the game more playable.

So you have a building and in it you have some theatres, advertising, food delivery etc. and you build up your company. You can upgrade your theatres for example seating, projectors, screens and snack bar, order in food and drink for the theatres, order in new release movies or classic movies to serve as a filler, make your own movies, plan out a release schedule and more and it is really simple to do all of those steps and don't forget to collect the money laying around. Those who live in Australia where it is DD/MM/YYYY instead of MM/DD/YYYY may get confused and order a movie several months away from where you need a movie to screen and I have done that a couple of times, I do wish that there was a board where you could slot in movies that you want showing in your theatres so you can easily work out your film showing plans. The big downside to the game for me is that I believe the game is too slow, the days pass by too slowly so if you want a quick game, you're not going to get far but other than that I believe that the game is a good diversion of time.

I picked up this game because it puts together elements from so many other games I've played in the past. When I was younger I had written a small game in Visual Basic similar to this about managing a movie theater: Buying movies, keeping snack bar stocked up, managing personnel, advertising etc. But this game goes beyond all that incorporating elements from “The Movies” or maybe more accurately the BBS door game “Movie Mogul” (producing your own movies) and of course the fact that it visually looks like Sim Tower is kind of nice as well. I’ve only played for a short while so this review isn’t comprehensive but first impressions are good. As with any business management game it’s slow and repetitive which some people don’t care for and sometimes I don’t care for it either but sometimes it’s exactly what I need. One technical improvement that could be made is to have the game window (when in windowed mode with CTRL+Enter) be resizable. I normally have my PC set up with three screens but using a driver that let’s Windows see it as all one wide screen. Also there are monitors that are “ultra-wide”. By default the game is full screen taking the full width and the top & bottom of the display is cut off if it’s too wide. You can easily go into and out of windowed mode but the window is the same size as the game was when full screen and the window is not resizable. I was able to get going by disabling my driver but other people who have one ultra-wide monitor may have an issue with this unless this is fixed. Also note that the min. requirements says Windows 10 but I am running it fine on Windows 7. There aren't a lot of gamers that like business management games but if you do then this one is definitely worth checking out.
