    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

    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.

    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.
