    PC Building Simulator is (obviously) a game where you build PC; or maybe learn how to build one.

    There's an option to learn how to build the PC in game, like some short of tutorial to play the game, and 2 game modes - one is career mode and free-build mode.

    There's an option to learn how to build the PC in game, like some short of tutorial to play the game, and 2 game modes - one is career mode and free-build mode.

    In career mode, you play as a computer repair technician in a workshop. It's fun and challenging at times, and can hook you up for hours.

    Free-build mode is a mode that gives you freedom to build a PC, like building something that you can't afford.

    The game itself is choppy, I can't get decent FPS rendering just a room with a few computers, and lowering the graphic doesn't seem to give a noticeable performance boost.

    This game needs to mostly improve its performance, and adding more component used to build the PC, and there is a few bug and visual glitches it needs to fix.    … Expand

    Just finish my second PC build ever and it makes me want to build more PC. This game answers my itch for that. It also teaches me in a way about custom water cooling, overclocking, although some might question the realism of these topics in-game, at least it gets my feet wet.

    The Good: - Could teach something to the beginner builder, no experience. - For the already know-how, it is    Just finish my second PC build ever and it makes me want to build more PC.

    The Good:
    - Could teach something to the beginner builder, no experience.
    - For the already know-how, it is fun to play around with the build.
    - Real brand and part. Many of them too.

    The Okay:
    - I wish there are more customization on your office, you stuck with the same thing the whole time, at least let us change the wallpaper, expanding rooms. The only way is to get DLCs that are only hardware brand studio.
    - A little client story on career mode, some are fun and some are meh.

    The Bad:
    - Should be a way to list things for each build, not just all in one inventory. Maybe workbench inventory, parts list that attaches to each build.
    - Every software install requires a restart...really?
    - In-game OS startup/shutdown sound (at least please give us choices to pick the one that doesn't drive you crazy).    … Expand

    +Satisfying introduction into PC building. +Sufficient variety of licensed manufacturers. +Tech shop like business simulation. +Decent troubleshooting mentoring.

    El juego en si es unico en su categoria, no hay juegos en donde puedas armar tu PC, la de tus sueños y la que nunca vas a poder pagar, en este juego la podes armar. Graficamente esta bueno, de optimizacion tambien, podes jugarlo casi con cualquier computaora, valga la redondancia jaja.

    El problema radica en que es un juego arcade y no un simulador, le faltan muuuchas cosas, ni siquiera sirve para aprender porque faltan cosas tan basicas como conectar el panel frontal del gabinete, que los disipadores se clasifiquen por TDP o el Dual Channel en las memorias RAM y sus latencias.

    El juego tiene una seccion de overclock, que la verdad es super basica y muy lejos de la realidad, cualquiera que haya hecho overclock en alguna PC en la vida real sabe la cantidad de cosas que hay ausentes.

    El hardware que podes manipular en el juego es de los ultimos 5 años, me hubiera encantado que incluya otras plataformas como AM3+, DDR3, procesadores Intel de 1ra o 2da generacion como minimo. A pesar de que el juego tenga las marcas reales del hardware, solo estan las versiones mas caras, siendo que armar una computadora de gama baja sea complicado.

    La "campaña" esta bien, pero a los 30 minutos ya se vuelve suuper repetitivo y aburrida.

    Podria armarme una lista entera de la cantidad de cosas que le faltan a este juego, pero es ya innecesario, el juego no lo recomiendo mas que para algun que otro curioso para armarse algunas PCs en el modo libre    … Expand

    - Graphics settings Low vs Highest are not much different.

    - I bought some part from shop (motherboard, RAM, Cooler,...) at once for more hundred $$$. In the next day, they only sent me 1 cooler fan, and the other parts have disappeared in the air.

    The game is a really good simulator - in a way where the concepts you "learn" playing it can be used in real life - well, the concepts regarding building PCs, of course. I just think that the campaign is very, very slow paced. People that probably want to build the best PC possible in the game can't do it in the campaign for many hours due to slow leveling and demands not being clear enough.

Cependant, certaines tâches manquent un peu d'accompagnement pour aider le joueur. Le gameplay devient par ailleurs assez rapidement redondant, les jours s'enchaînent dans notre boutique informatique et les tâches se répètent encore et toujours. Au final, c'est une expérience de jeu plutôt sympa avec un thème accrocheur, même si la recette ne prend pas totalement.

    Lo tienes que comprar si o si sobre todo si te gustan estos temas, no le doy un 10 porque no he probado el segundo videojuego que seguro que es mejor y porque no esta al nivel de los videojuegos que les daría un 10, pero totalmente recomendado.

    PC Building Simulator is one of the better entries in the genre, with nice touches of authenticity and attention to detail. It's too limited and simplistic to replicate the experience of putting a rig together yourself, but it does a good enough job to get you started in the right direction.
