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

    Missing major basic features like customer support, achievements, rebinding for different devices etc etc due to being released on EGS, which is missing all basic features.
    Nobody wants this crap cut down experience.

    I just tried the game. 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 airI just tried the game.

I just started playing for 4 hours and there's already so many issues. I'm disappointed. Game polish feels lazy Expand

    Lacks the innovation of the 1st, while maintaining most of the bugs and issues. 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

    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"

    its the same as previous game. 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

    I 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 thatI 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

    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.

    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.

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