60 of 190 · most liked firstI’ve spent 65 hours “beta testing” GPS5. That’s time I gave in good faith, hoping Eversim would finally deliver on their promises to fix the long-standing bugs that have plagued this series for years. They said GPS5 would be the turning point. They even set up a “community” Discord, but only accessible after buying the game, effectively hiding feedback and complaints behind a paywall. Now they’ve officially confirmed that version .18 is the last major update. That’s it. No real fixes, no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm disappointed once more. Why have I been buying this every year? Because the concept is awesome and I want this game to function properly! We can tell Eversim wanted to give the game/series a fresh image, and it would be alright if they ever got their simulation to work! Eversim, we just ask for the basic: for the game to work. Seriously take any previous version and just make it work properly. There was no need for companies and stuff. This could be a dlc or something, most of us don't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Year after year I buy your games to be disappointed more and more each year, you offer us what we wanted but you give us a broken, unplayable game, a game where the GDP is impossible to grow, I can do everything I know that works and the GDP doesn't grow, I build natural gas fields and it doesn't produce anything, the company mode doesn't work, the profit numbers give me -NaN, I mean it's crazy, we are loyal customers who every year destroy our dream of playing something decent, especially this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a lot of potential with companies being added. As usual, Eversim fails to deliver a finished product. Whether they don't care, don't have the resources to fix everything, etc, that's your guess. We'll never know, it's been like this for years. Big ideas, little work. You're better off buying a case of beer instead (or two)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unplayable! The developers release one update a month without fixing any bugs or errors. The game crashes all the time, and even if you manage to save constantly, a NaN error will ruin your gameplay and force you to start from the very beginning. I’m truly angry that a $60 game is not playable, and the developers don’t even bother fixing errors—even though they promised to address them in their “monthly” updates. It’s a disgrace, and this game feels like a scam!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually can't believe that I was duped into spending so much money on thinking they had changed, just to find out they're still doing the same tactics of a new version each year that you have to pay for all over again - same bugs, same engine, same game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not purchase. The amount of bugs makes this game unplayable. The concept of this game is unique with nothing so far comparable on the market, however, I cannot bring myself to purchase this game this year. I myself have purchase almost every version since geopolitical sim 3 and this is by far the worst. Personally, the UI and graphic have worsen. The supposed new features were terrible due to the bugs. The corporate feature is bareboned with none of the economic numbers adding up or make…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Geo-Political Simulator 5 – A Masterclass in Scam Tactics 🐞 Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs This game isn’t just buggy—it’s practically a crash test simulation. Basic mechanics don’t work, AI behaves like it was coded by someone who just discovered programming last week, and half the time, features either don’t function or break something else when used. 🎭 "Early Access" After 8 Years? Really? Calling a game "early access" in 2024 when it's been around since 2016 is beyond ridiculous. It's a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At that point it's litteraly a scam. Doesn't work, slow, bugs, crashes, for such a high price lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SCAM! The dev stopped support after doing next to nothing, the game doesn't work the GDP doesn't work and the dev laughed and ignored any request or questions, they did not do anything that thet run, should not be allowed on this website, they instead want to sell the next version while voting in meeting to increase owner salary ARNAQUE ! Le développeur a cessé d'assurer le support après n'avoir pratiquement rien fait, le jeu ne fonctionne pas, le PIB ne fonctionne pas et le développeur a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. The dev team working on "2025 edition". (Because there is the 2024 edition lol.) Crying on my money actually.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not buy! Since release, theres the -nan(ind)% budget bug. Basically the game cannot calculate your budget, which is a game breaking bug. This bug is not uncommon, be warned. There are also so many other bugs which causes massive problems especially with military. GPS5 is an absolute mess. Definitely not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another year, another mistaken purchase. I was excited for the addition of companies in this edition but they are incredibly bare bones with a UI that deserves praise for managing to hide all relevant information while still interrupting the player near daily for inconsequential fluff items. Nearly 4 hours into the game and managing a successful company - I've still not figured out where the available cash on hand/liquid asset value is displayed. It's obviously known to the game since the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely garbage, think about it: the producers they are asking to the community to tell them and report them the bugs..they didn't play their own game, becouse bugs are everywhere and i mean EVERYWHERE. The IA is completely off, and scripted..im just alone in a world where nothing change( Literally nothing change). I got Banned from the " Community steam discussion" becouse i defended a guy who said " this game is garbage". Nice Job Eversim. Guys dont buy this game do not do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →***Do not try to waste your money by this dumbest way that I had ever did in my life! There is 70% of game are bugs, as well here options are more limited in compassion with previous part. The new graphic map is no work properly as should. Company and Corporation mode works just like something visual, but without real impact on the economy and the world. For now with new update in this some kind of Simulator I cannot even to modify a minimum wage or any allowance or regulate the salaries…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely no, no, no! Full of crash bugs and terrible optimization. REMAKE THE ENTIRE GAME FROM SCRATCH. It's easier than trying to fix it or add features! DON'T BUY IT! I say this as a fan of the series.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game being 78 canadian dollars is insane for the lack of updates and the amount of bugs that ruin this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like how they have the 2025 update on their site and only later you can get that on steam. this is a strategy to cut form the 30% margin steam makes on sales. essentially if you claim it in your steam account steam doesn't get a profit margin and eversim evades steam Eula but continue to use their platform. Eversim has always and will always put out buggy messes and abandon them mid cycle. These people need to answer for their dishonesty.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst Entry in the Series – A Complete Disaster I have been a loyal customer since the very first Geo-Political Simulator, buying every single game this company has released. But Geo-Political Simulator 5 is, without a doubt, the worst entry yet. The game is riddled with bugs, constantly crashes, and, in many cases, doesn’t even load properly. It’s unplayable in its current state. And what makes this even worse? The developers are completely silent. No meaningful patches, no real support,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Idea of this game is a very interesting one; and one that I had a lot of hope for. I've been holding on for hope that each-year the games' will get better. But they do not; they get worse. If the game was not as buggy as it was; and the developers genuinely went out of there way to put more effort into communication I think this could be one of the best Political Grand Strategy games I have ever seen and played. At this point; the next game that comes out; I personally feel should be like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's the same old game with minimal improvements and the same old bugs and some very new ones that make the game unplayable in long plays. This is a bit sad, because I know that in a few months the game will stop receiving updates, even though many of its bugs will be fixed for next year's version when it is practically the same but with a couple of mechanics or scenarios included and the bug fix works for both versions most of the time. If the economic bug is not finally fixed, the game will…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead game. Always crash and has stopped update by developer
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not waste your money. This is by far the most bug ridden version that ever-sim has ever put out. I tried getting a refund and it was impossible because of over 2 hour policy. I repeat, do not buy this game. It's simply unplayable and just lost 80 dollars. Games like these should be banned from Steam since they are selling unplayable games to the public.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like it, the new design, the new UI, the updated map, the companies and the overall feel of the game. It has bugs for sure but the developers have made their willingness to correct bugs in this title quite clear both on discord and in their recent actions namely releasing an update today fixing various bugs reported to them by players The teams delivering this title to us are listening and they're actively working at bettering this game which is fantastic since I think this is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 17 updates where I have checked the game each time, I can say now the game is finally playable and enjoyed 3 hours continuous play . I believe there is alot to come, but spot on to the developers, thank you and please keep it up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New company system is broke everything. You can't increase industry. I subsidize billions but it doesn't change.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →BEFORE YOU BUY: DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT A CLEAN EXPERIENCE. DO. NOT. BUY. IF YOU WANT A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE, WITH CLEAN GAMEPLAY AND NO BUGS, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. That being said, here's my actual review. This game came as a surprise to the entire community. We all expected a 2024 Edition, but were met with an early access version of GPS5. This has not been a smooth ride, as it was essentially unplayable for the first 2 or 3 updates. This is going to take time to flesh out, as all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really love the concept of this game and I'm sure the underlying simulation is quite complex, however the UI is atrocious, hiding critical data. The save files are 500MB EACH.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am an old fan of the series, I have all previous versions of the 4th installment of the game bought in Steam. Why did the developers treat their users with disregard. I am from Ukraine. Why did you remove the Russian language? Add then Ukrainian, if you removed Russian. If I knew that it would be like this, I would not buy your game ever! If there will be no Russian or Ukrainian language, I will not buy any more games from Eversim. So far I put the lowest rating!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →please don't buy this game please, I'm playing this game since GPS 3 and this version I think the developers laughing on us when they deployed it as a full game. 1- Lagging 2- crashes 3- not optimized my computer is very modern ram, graphic cards, even I use it in high simulation, every game I play it at ultra but this game is noooot optimized 4- all fo the above is not my problem, my problem is changing of numbers, when I change taxation I move the time and go back to taxation it's returns the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hour. Company mode is pointless, lacks information. Regular mode has too little changes to GS4 to justify the pricing (i got it at a discount for 30€, still too much). Sadly, there's no game with a similar economic system on the market.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The modding and god tool should have been included in the base game this time - in the videos on the store you can see the god n spy tool buttons so it could have been at the very least released with the game The only real improvement I noticed was the map it looks better and cities look better and you can build things like trenches The amount of bugs ruin the game and without the modding tool or god tool it becomes annoying to play because units get stuck and won't do anything so they just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This company is literally ripping us off. The game is still riddled with bugs. While they release a new version that fixes some of the bugs, you have to buy it as a new game. They've been ripping us off all along. If you want to release a new game or a new version, you have to finish the previous version first, or you have to fix all the bugs. ****Everyone who has purchased the game must report it to Steam Support so they can find a solution.****
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely broken game, but there's nothing else like it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has a lot of crash errors. I'd wait and play the older ones until it gets developed more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I asked about an update an the devs told me that i bought the 2024 version of this game and that there will be no further updates. Instead they want me to pay for the same game again about 30 €. This is just a unfair business model. I played the game a few years ago during the GPS4 time (2019). I thought this system would change with the fifth series but now I am just disappointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the biggest step since the release of Power and Revolution. It's not a huge step, but for Eversim it's really big. I haven't even encountered any bugs myself, as of having played for 9h. Still looks like it's made in the early 2000s and the faces/voices are more of a funny-bad situation. Don't expect Eversim to improve in the future, just because you give them money. They like barely exist in this nice with their trash game, that even most people who play it hate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I rarely leave reviews but bloody hell this game is such a downgrade from the 2021 edition of geopolitical simulator 4, i feel robbed of £49.99. The UI is so tiny you have to squint at the screen just to be able to click on stuff and even then once you click on something the game won't action your request. please can we just get a competent modern political simulation game please?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is getting worse every year instead of getting better. I haven't commented in all these years because I didn't want to undermine the developers of the game, but the theme, visuals and quality of this year's game are completely ruined. Also, bringing Turkish language support shouldn't be this difficult. I've talked about this issue in all the forums for years and tried to mobilize it, but the developers of the game ignored our request for Turkish language support. If the game had been…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is yet another repost of the previous games they made with seemingly minor, and not always positive, adjustments. They could have easily just had ONE game at a reasonable price, with reasonabily priced DLCs for every year, and major updates if they wanted to change something like the economic engine. But instead they grift like a MF and expect you to pay for a subpar piece of trash that you've already bought before, for AAA prices. Also, I'm salty cause they didn't refund my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2022 was a bad game. 2022 is better than 2024/GPS5 I gave them the benefit when I saw they were actively reading and responding to reports in discord. But the same game breaking bugs aren't being fixed and every single patch is introducing NEW game breaking issues. They charge 20$ for God n Spy, it doesn't work and causes errors. They charge 20$ for Mod tools, the mod tools don't work and cause errors At this rate just wait to see if they learn how to fix their game by PR2025 cause it's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same ole garbage since 2011 rulers of nations & masters of the world.. they'll never improve They will fix 1-2 bugs then stop working on it again edit: the developers are scammers and will ban you from their community forum and discord if you tell them how bad the game is and how much it needs to be fixed 2 updates and the game is still so bad the greatest scam on steam of all time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eversim, you've scammed us once again with your unfinished, bug-filled game. You better fix it, or we’ll have it removed from Steam, you scammer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been waiting the last 6 months for the next update and it never came with what is literally the most buggy game I've ever played. Yet they releaese a new 2026 edition that still has to be purchased, even if it is at a discount for owning this one. Abosolutey atrocious seeing as I bought this 2025 title for $45. SCAM business model. I know you have to have money coming in to keep the lights on and the developers paid but even so, shame on you Eversim. Sad thing is that this type of game, with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely broken, abandoned, you have to pay for "new" editions just for the bugs to not be fixed, exact same game as GPS4 with only the addition of the broken companies mode - Not worth your money, got a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game broken and 6 months since last update EDIT: The develop basically said no new updates, please buy our next game where we bug fixed the ones in this. Such bad business pactice.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unoptimzed, crashes and has poor performance. The modding tool is half broken.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i will not recommend buying this game its slow interface and bugs..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game consists of 100% lag and bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No matter how i play doing laws slowly or doin them in reforms. or just not doin laws at all the game will bug out and give errors or crash.. i love this game but its even worse with bugs and problems then the last game. especially after its last update wich fixed and ruined the game. smh i hope they fix it before abondoning and jumping to next game. btw i have a 8,000$ P.C made for game designing. I can recreate all bugs easily.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an economy game but the economy system of the game is completely unfunctional and full of bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the genre of game for me. Present-day geopolitics. Now they made the game even more interesting by adding playable industries. But be warned, it's glitchy and sometimes makes my laptop overheat. So save the game frequently and make sure to email the developers with info on every glitch you find.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get Hearts of Iron IV and play the Millennium Dawn Mod. Quit paying for this garbage.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sometimes you take a punt – and it doesn’t pay off. I really wanted to like Geo-Political Simulator 5, but it’s a frustrating experience. There’s no online wiki or proper instructions, which makes getting started harder than it needs to be. The game runs fine on my system, which meets the minimum spec, so performance isn’t the issue — it’s the design choices and gameplay. They’re selling the mod tool separately, which is ridiculous given how limited the base game is. On top of that,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended at this state. Has a lot of potential, but yet again another copy paste of the previous game with all the bugs, awful mechanics and gameplay. They keep making the same junk every year rather than fixing one game once and for all. I am done buying any more games from this developer. Very disappointing!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is not worth 60 bucks at all. I'd wait until it drops down to 29.99. Haven't really seen much changes since the older Geo-Political Sim game besides the newer graphic designs, added companies with the added solar system map for satellites/space missions and everything else is a good copy and paste to this game along with this game still being difficult on the player for becoming a dictator. You play as China for an example to end gay rights and ban Muslims the whole game trips out. I'm…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a scam, absolut carbage. Full of bugs & crashes. Havent been able to play any siginificant amount of time before the games crashes, despide multiple tries and different pcs,. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the GPS4 series but this one is just absolutely catastrophic. UI is worse and more confusing, more bugs than GPS4.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let the game fool you, it requires a substantial understanding of the current world geo-political atmosphere. This game is amazing, and infuriating. Make sure to save once a month. Personally, I love Eversim and their products, despite the bugs and the flaws. They really should market this game to adults. There's a deep love they have for this product. Love this game
