Game Dev Tycoon vs Westworld
Game Dev Tycoon
Game Dev Tycoon is a fun tycoon game where you get to experience growing a start-up into a successful games company. Here, you not only can enjoy managing your team of game developers; you'll even have the freedom to create a game that you like by simply mixing and matching genres, engines and platforms, and by determining development priorities. There are many different successful genre combinations for you to discover along the way as well and from time to time, you'll be surprised with events that change the public perception of your game. Even a previous successful franchise can fall flat if you don't take into account feedback from your players.Aside from letting its players strive for the "indie to triple A" experience, Game Dev Tycoon does give players a very nice insight into the ins-and-outs of a typical games company as well as into the history of games (game platforms in particular) in an entertaining way. Do give the game a try if you enjoy tycoon games. It is definitely worth every cent you'll spend.
Westworld
Westworld is a 2D town management game much like Fallout Shelter, but is set in the dystopian world of HBO's hit TV show, Westworld. In this game, you are given complete access to the official Delos Park Training Simulation (DPTS). The simulation will allow you to not only build and control the park, but also to create, upgrade (in a wide variety of ways) and evolve your AI hosts. There are over 170 different AI hosts you can manufacture and collect, and it is up to you to match the right hosts with the correct guests. The game has many new park locations for you to unlock as well.The game may feel a bit bland due to its idle-like nature - there's no strategy or creativity involved, and a lot of the time, you'll just be tapping to collect stuff. Some have also complained that the host leveling system is very grindy since you'll need to get a ton of hosts just to level one up to its max level, and well, hosts aren't exactly easy to obtain.
That being said, if Westworld is your current obsession, these little issues aren't enough to deter you to give the game a try. The game is free after all.
