    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Epic **** Store exclusive with no plans for a steam release. Unfortunate. Hard pass.

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… Full Review »

Career mode is a lackluster, and most jobs entail "painting" or putting "stickers" on a PC, which is ridiculous. Graphics have improved a bit, but let us be honest, nobody really cares about a 200 pixel difference when the game sucks.

    A pity the game creator sold it to THE WORST game company around--rivalled only by EA.

    TLDR; **** game, avoid.
    No mod support, and when I submitted a ticket, this was their answer: "We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some issues with your game. Upon checking, you may need to reject the job or submit a bug report"    … Full Review »
