    PC Building Simulator 2 sets a new benchmark for simulation games. The attention to detail, the ease of play, the presentation – everything is second to none, and we can’t get enough. Even if you’ve never stared into the insides of a PC before, if you’re intrigued by the idea of tinkering with components, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. Just be sure to set yourself plenty of time aside, because you won’t be able to drag yourself away.

    PC Building Simulator 2 is a relaxing experience that improves the first chapter in every possible way.

    The graphics, building options and PC building itself are improved. Spraying, stickering, water cooling have been added. Tuning has improved, and so has the design of your computer store. Overall, PC Building Simulator 2 is a very well-rounded and expanded game compared to the first one.

    It's safe to say that Spiral House knocked it out of the park with PC Building Simulator 2. They've taken an already proven successful franchise and doused it in some of the best improvements we've ever seen in a game. Between the freshly added storefront and all of the new features, it's well worth the $24.99 price tag.

    You already know if you fancy the idea of PC Building Simulator 2 by the title. What you do here is build, tweak and repair PCs and it’s represented well. However, it’s dry work and people craving an adrenaline high aren’t going to find it spraypainting cases and reseating RAM. A dry, but no less impressive, work sim.

    This game is jam packed filled with content and is a terrific sim if you're keen on those types of games. It's also a great learning tool for those who are looking to get into PC building or those who just love PC building already.

    Everyone loves to try different builds, try new layouts or simply to try your next build virtually in advance you have to give a chance to this game.

In my opinion, the graphics are just right. Updates aren't very frequent, but they do add new parts that let you try out all the different combinations, as well as themes to embellish your workshop. As for game parameters, you can modify key combinations, and there's controller support. I highly recommend it. Expand

    I had fun for a bit - but it had very little in the way of longevity for me, for a few reasons.

    It's got no depth, it turns into a clicking simulator, water-cooling a GPU is a good example of this, you just click on the highlighted tools and components until it's done, you can't even do it in a different order it's entirely driven by checklist.
    When you do get jobs that require some creativity you get hamstrung by the weird "re-install customer components" status. Essentially - you can only replace components in the machine on a hidden whitelist, everything else needs to remain in the machine and it won't let you complete the job otherwise. Which is hugely annoying if you're trying to find a way to achieve a tricky objective, find a solution that's in budget then get shot down by this mechanic. I know this doesn't sound too bad, but for me it was the uninstall moment.
    As a counterpoint, the graphics are excellent and it's fun to build pc's for a while.

Nothing much changes except having unskipable tutorials being thown at you 24/7. LET ME PLAY, I KNOW HOW TO DO IT. + bugs. It should really be called tutorial simulator. Its really frustrating. Also its only on Epic so... overall disapointing. 4.5//10 Expand

The fractal design torrent has incorrect fans in the front. They are only 2 120mm. The be quiet 500dx has rgb on the case, but in the game you can't control the rgb at all. It's just static white. This worked in pcbs1. Also, you can't swap the fans in an aio so you can't mount, an aio in the front of the case without the fans being on the wrong side AND blowing air out of the case. I just started playing for 4 hours and there's already so many issues. I'm disappointed. Game polish feels lazy Expand

Firstly, where are theI have quite a lot of questions about this unfinished DLC for the original game, which costs 4 of the cost of the game. Firstly, where are the +- prices close to the real ones? the prices are too high and they spoil the realism of the game. Secondly, where is the optimization patch? I didn't see any super beautiful special effects, a large map or mega complex mechanics in the game, so that this game was running at 60-70 fps at maximum settings, when at the same time Resident Evil 4 Remake is running at maximum settings on my PC with the same fps. In RE4, the graphics are masterpiece, but not in PCBS2. I'm waiting for all the lines of new video cards and processors to be ready, otherwise you're playing an outdated game. I'm waiting for more realism to appear in the game, because so far I haven't seen a couple of new gameplay features in the game. And finally, the main mistake of this game is an exclusive release in EGS, congratulations, you **** up, your main audience is on Steam, and you are making a release in garbage EGS. A very strange DLC for 4 of the cost of the original game, I hope for the future to correct my claims. Expand
