REVIEW : Construction Simulator (PC)

I’ve never wanted to wake up early in the morning, put on a hard hat, and go to a building site. Never have I wished I could mix and pour concrete. I’ve never wanted to create a foundation and dig a huge hole. I’m well aware that this is something that some people do. I know some people even like it. But if you were to inquire as to whether I would ever think about engaging in such employment, I would scoff at you and shake my head. However, I later gave Construction Simulator 2015: Gold Edition a try. Construction Simulator, produced by Astragon and created by Weltenbauer, achieves the objective of any simulator: mimicking the actual procedures and components of its real-world equivalent.

Furthermore, Construction Simulator is a thorough game that replicates the essential gameplay of a construction job. My perspective on construction has altered after playing the game for a while. I now recognise the hard work of those men as I drive by them on the side of the road or see from my office window as a massive crane hoists tonnes of stuff into the air. Even while I probably still wouldn’t want to participate in their labour, I now have a better understanding of it and can even appreciate this digital representation of it from the comfort of my own home.

The Construction Simulator 2015: Gold Edition includes the base game and all currently available downloadable content. 150 EC-B, LB 28, Vertical Skyline, and LR1300 make up the extra DLC. Each one provides either additional missions or the matching equipment from the title. There are hundreds of tasks available in Construction Simulator, along with more than a dozen different kinds of construction equipment, including excavators, forklifts, cranes, vibratory compactors, and loaders. There is even the option for cross-platform multiplayer, and the missions are non-linear. Players start in a little village where they will go through a series of well-made tutorials to understand the fundamental gaming mechanics.

After everything is finished, the players will relocate to the major metropolis to continue building their construction company’s prosperity.

Getting materials to the construction sites around the community requires a lot of driving in the early stages of the game. Although it might seem uninteresting, the superb graphics and open-world setting make it fun. Initially, the machinery is straightforward, but as the mission duties get trickier, so does the technology. To finish the task, regardless of whether you are preparing a site for a foundation, constructing a bridge or a high-rise, you must be skilled with the machinery. The experience you gain from completing jobs makes the transition from shipping and pouring some concrete to creating a huge edifice feel significant.

You collaborate with a group of other workers who are capable of taking on tasks. As the game progresses and the jobs become more difficult, this becomes useful.

Some players have complained about Construction Simulator’s controls, and there is no denying that each piece of equipment has a detailed UI and control layout. For some people, this would be a turn-off, but if you were looking for a Construction Simulator, I suppose this is the style of gameplay you would want to investigate. In that regard, I would compare the game to a flight simulator. The goal is to make you feel as though you are operating the machinery as it would be in real life.

At the very least, inside the confines of a PC game. Construction Simulator fulfils its promise in this way.

I found driving around the village and city to be one of the genuine joys. This can seem like a simple task in other games. But it does produce a high level of immersion in a game that is meant to concentrate on the construction. The player has the impression that they are working and living in this world. Construction Simulator does, however, have certain shortcomings. Regarding graphics, the game can be a resource hog. Many people have mentioned this problem, and I too occasionally experienced game latency.

Even though it never completely broke the game, it was obvious. Furthermore, physics can be weird at times. Particularly the digging feels fake, and the driving also takes some getting used to. The controls are a monster when using a regular keyboard, to finish. In all honesty, this problem exists in the majority of games that emphasise vehicles. This may be fixed in Construction Simulator 2015 Gold by playing with an Xbox 360 controller, which the title officially supports.

Construction Simulator features some excellent images. Even while the overall game could use more depth and “life,” there is already enough to create a nice, if not excellent, mood.

The gaming world is also a little bit flat. Naturally, the easiest way to fix this is to build structures and create your own, more intriguing skyline. In terms of optimization, it appears that the graphics are a problem, and older PCs would undoubtedly suffer if they can even run the game.

Aside from the graphics, Construction Simulator excels in its gameplay. The amount of activities available in the game is remarkable. This simulation has engaging gameplay that includes driving about the areas, loading and unloading materials, digging, and operating the large machines used to build a variety of items. Most sims maintain a single primary area of interest.

The many elements of the job are connected through Construction Simulator. Even though construction is the main focus, there is a lot more to it than that. Things like using a vehicle to get around the world, interacting with people, and moving around with your avatar. While individually each of these elements might appear insignificant, together they contribute to a deeper simulation as a whole.

The Gold Edition of Construction Simulator 2015 is a decent game. It’s a great game for anyone with an interest in construction. Construction Simulator may struggle to stand out among the sea of other simulation games due to the sheer number of them available, but those who are willing to give it a try will discover that it offers a fun experience that keeps players engaged and at work. Even gamers like myself never gave working on a building site a second consideration.
