    Construction Simulator 2 gives a fascinating insight into building processes, and a deeper appreciation of specialist construction machinery. Once past the initial learning curve, the gameplay is methodical with a meditative quality that will make it relaxing for some and boring for others. It strikes a good balance between realism and accessibility, and it’s genuinely satisfying to complete projects. However the realistic aspects of the game leave no room for creativity and will limit its appeal to those who can find satisfaction in completing set tasks. It's a niche game, but if you're interested in construction you might dig it.

    Yes, it’s just a port from a successful mobile game and the controls might work a lot better on a phone, but it does the job intended of it and will appeal to a lot of sim fans.

    Construction Simulator 2 is so unrelentingly strict in its stringent adherence to following set tasks, there is absolutely no chance for imagination or creative outlet. Put simply, failure to follow the precise steps laid out for any particular task results in a breakdown that negates the contract or job, resulting in lost time, revenue, and any potential for enjoyment.

    There’s more than enough content here to keep you satisfied for a while and fans of the series will no doubt keep coming back for more timeThere’s more than enough content here to keep you satisfied for a while and fans of the series will no doubt keep coming back for more time and time again. The jobs you can do in the game have a decent amount of variety to them and this definitely keeps things fresh and interesting for longer. The presentation side of the game is not out of this world I found both the visuals and sound design to have been done really well. I liked how there were a number of licensed vehicles available to use because it did give the game more of a realistic feel to it. Technically the game holds up really well and I didn’t suffer with many problems at all. The camera can be a real nuisance at times and it never seems to go where you want it to go. I found the controls to be a little clunky at times and they do take quite a bit of time to get used to. Unfortunately there are no multiplayer offerings which I was a little disappointed with. All in all Construction Simulator 2 US was a game that interested me right from the get go because these types of game’s offer you a huge amount of replay value and thankfully I’m pleased to say that this is a game I can see myself playing for a very long time. Once you get used to the clunky controls then you realise quite quickly that there’s a lot of variety in the jobs you can do and each job has a rewarding feeling. The gameplay also has a realistic side to it thanks to the many licensed vehicles that are present in the game and whilst the presentation side of the game isn’t going to blow you away there’s plenty of extra detail in these vehicles. Technically the game holds up really well throughout your time with the game and the only real nuisance present in the game was the camera, which I hope gets sorted in the end. Despite the camera nuisance I still enjoyed my time with the game immensely though and without a doubt this game gets a solid recommendation from me because you really do get great value for your money.… Full Review »

I haven['t seen that for awhile because I don't ordinarily play games that look like they're 20 years old. This game forces you to operate the two toggles simultaneously while switching back and forth between two competing pie menus that are on two different sides of the screen. So your eyes have to go back and forth to see which of the 8 functions you need to deploy to make the bucket on the backhoe go the right direction. Instead of being able to keep your eyes focused on one menu. Which is an asinine set-up. The equipment control functions should all be on one menu. The buttons and triggers are way under-utilized and that's one of the biggest give-aways that this game was not meant for console and was adapted. It may work on phone and PC, but don't waste your money on the console version. You'll be cussing up a storm just trying to dig your first hole. The controls are really that bad.… Full Review »
