Steamulator 2019 Reviews

was a grate time waster for the price, but it sudendly wont start anny more. so dont by this game

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do when I play this game. Then again, neither does Steam and they seem to be doing ok. This Steam review update has been sponsored by the Steam Autumn sales.

This game is super fun, if you like games like sort the court then you will most likely enjoy this its fun to play and very simple you don't need much skill to play it just the ability to move the mouse left and right and every now and then use the wasd and or the space button.

[i]Disclosure: I'm friends with one of the conceptualizers of the game.[/i] Enjoyable game for the price. Simplistic in nature but a generally addictive nature will make players want to keep coming back to the game. The game has you running your own Steam storefront where you have to monitor your stats to assure they aren't too high or too low, otherwise its game over. The game suffers from some bugs such as no matter what the event is, every time you swipe right on a card, your game count will increase by 1, even if the choice doesn't involve publishing a game to Steam and the confusing stat adjustments made in correspondence with your decisions (how does accepting games have the same positive influence on developers as when you deny them?) Other than that, the game is fun for the buck, addicting and I'm sure to spend more time in it.

Has a good feedback loop with an entertaining presentation, but the game is somewhat pointless. Without enough information about your choices - their positive or negative effects - it resembles a repeating crapshoot punctuated with subpar minigame clones. Still, good graphics, cheerful music, and fun references save what could have been flat-out bad. For that reason, I recommend Steamlulator 2019 to savvy Steam nerds - the target audience - but not much else. More development time could have made this one great and fixed bugs.

Well I originally wrote a long rant about why I hate these devs after they're first success that was half-decent, but then I realized I would probably get deleted for it, so here's my attempt at a reasonable and constructive review for this game. Don't buy it, Reigns is better. Long story short, it just seems like a cash grab to me, as was their last game after the initial lootbox simulator success that was alright but probably not worth the cost. It's a half baked concept they put a price on to cash in on. Or perhaps an attempt at a game inspired by games like reign that they gave up on either out of boredom or inability to manage to work out kinks and bugs. I would suggest Game Dev Tycoon or other similar rip offs if you're looking for the steam-esque simulators. I have a degree in computer game development that I haven't used in 3 years because I wasn't a fan of it, so I have a basic understanding of how to make a game. If I bothered to do research I could probably make this myself for free. Anyway, not worth a look if you ask me, if you're looking for anything from these guys, the only good thing is I can't believe it's not Gambling, the first one, not the second.

Huh??? That was different. Ok it is set up like Reigns, you choose yes or no to releasing various games onto your store platform. The problems are many (too few game choices, game seems pointless, humor often very flat, just seems to end after 3 mins of game play??). It does work though, and it is kind of unique, so it gets some point there. I would guess it was a bit of a joke game that ended up being a bit bigger then they thought it would be. Still overall it's just not that great. Yes it is "fun" to choose to release or NOT to release a slew of Steam games but that joy is quickly overcome by the extremely short playtime and the so-so mini games. So long story short, Do you need it (NO) do you think you want it (YES). Keep your money and buy a gumball from the grocery store, it will last longer.

I like the premise of the game and I believe it could be fun, however the results of the choices you make don't seem to make any sense. First of all, not publishing most games increases morality. I can see how some choices, like lootboxes or paid mods, can tie into "morality", but why is declining to publish a game usually considered "a good thing" morality-wise? Second of all, declining to publish some games increases the "developers" resource. So when a developer comes to you and asks to publish his game, and you decline his request, that raises his desposition towards you? Like with morality, I couldn't discern any logic why some of the choices raise that resource. Lastly, most of the time I lose because my "developer" resource gets too high. Again, because sometimes I want to lower it by declining a game, but it gets higher anyway. The cards start repeating rather fast, so you could potentially try to remember them and their effects, but that's rather tedious. My suggestion would be to add a mechanic, which I believe Reigns had, that displays which resources are going to be affected by your choice and how (display whether they go up or down), but only if you made that choice before. That'll help streamline the gameplay a little after the choices start repeating, so players who invested more time into the game will have an easier time managing the resources without having to manually remember (or write down) the results of their previous choices. Which, I'll repeat again, don't always make logical sense. Also, the minigames are kinda "meh". And I was never able to get past the 2nd pipe in the "flappy bird" clone.

I bought this game as a bundle with another game that cost me under 1€. This game didn't even start on the second or third try. I feel disappointed about this, reviewing it without the possibility of even trying it. Maybe in the future, it will be fixed (hopefully).

I got it specifically because I needed extra money in my cart, so EFFECTIVELY free and I expected something similar to lootbox simulator, a fun little timewaster. It's not. It's not even a timewaster. I can't bear to stick with it. I've never before so quickly uninstalled such a small game. That's not a simple insult, it's a genuine observation: it broke the record for fastest uninstall ever. Other worse games would have it beat but they had troubleshooting time on their side. It does what it does perfectly, though.
