I would say less.  It's mostly just checking boxes and moving sliders.  Plus no possibility for maiming little digital dudes.

Yeah, it was pretty lame from someone who enjoys simulation games.

There's an IOS/Android game called Game Dev Story that's smaller in scope and much more arcade-y, but from what I've seen of Game Dev Tycoon, it's also much more fun.

The problem is it's something much more suited to playing in short bursts on a phone rather than sitting down and playing for an extended period of time on a PC.
