The Political Machine 2020 is a government simulation game from Stardock and the fifth game in the Political Machine series, in which the player leads a campaign to elect the President of the United States. The player accomplishes this goal by traveling from state to state and engaging in a variety of activities to either raise money or raise poll numbers. The game was released on March 3, 2020.[1][2][3][4]

Reception

Giving it a rating of 65, New Game Network described the game as "fairly shallow, and there seems to be a number of steps back from the 2016 version - aside from the improved visuals."[5] VentureBeat says "as a bare-bones remake of an existing game, it’s not bad," and "it whets my appetite for a more sophisticated and realistic simulation".[6]
