I work in construction in real life, have done all my life, so I was very excited to see this game released. I've been playing the game for a bit and have read some other reviews, so, here's where I'm at.. The 'game' part of this is good. There graphics are nice and machines are well detailed. The environment is cool with plenty of scenery as well as AI. There is a slight emptiness to the world though and I'm not sure what it is. Unfortunately though, this is where the good stuff ends for me. Now I understand this game is brand new and therefore will change however there's a little too much for me that needs to change. - The menu is really, really confusing. It's just not intuitive, it feels like it's been muddled up each time I open it. - The camera is constantly fixed to a position when driving making it extremely hard to see. I eventually found a button on my controller which unlocks it but then some features of the machine don't work... and so on. - I'm very experienced when it comes to operating excavators but I actually find it harder to accurately dig a hole in this game than I do in real life. The controls are really hard to use and are not smooth enough. - The small compact machine feels the same as the machine that weighs nearly 4x more. Hydraulics aren't properly simulated. - Jobs aren't great in my opinion. I had to level a small pile of dirt in a space no larger than your average home+garden. For this job, instead of using a small machine, the game made me hire a huge cat dozer. The job was on a residential street! You don't see dozers this big on most construction sites, let alone in a small neighbourhood - Same happened on this job when I needed to dig a tiny trench for 3 PVC pipes, it had me hire a 20+ tonne cat excavator. - There's no bucket variation or attachments for machines. You do everything with the same full size tooth bucket, extremely unrealistic - The digging simulation itself is a big step up from the previous construction simulator however is not good enough in my opinion. There's no real feeling to the machine when digging, it just drags along and the bucket sometimes fills up. - The game doesn't seem to care about how deep or straight the trench is (one of the most important things when digging) but instead just how much soil comes out the ground. The trench was all over the place and wasn't even finished, but because I had dug out X amount of soil, it said it was complete! - When it came to lifting some small PVC pipes (very lightweight plastic) the game made me use this big crane on the back of my flatbed, instead of just lifting them by hand like you do in real life. - I just felt like I was going around in circles. This job in real life would need a small 8 tonne excavator with a trenching bucket, and a grading bucket (to level off the material). Instead I've had to use a massive bulldozer, excavator, backhoe, and a crane. I want to give this game a thumbs up a lot, but in it's current state for the price, I really can't. My worry is that it's destined to be more like a game, in which case I don't think it will be popular for very long. It needs to be a proper simulator. This is what will keep people playing because the campaign or story wont matter if the simulation is good. Look at games like farming simulator or euro truck simulator, there is no story at all but because the game is so realistic, people play it for years. Devs if you read this I'd love to speak to you guys more on stuff that could maybe change.Show moreShow less

I am a 38 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 11 now. My son got this game from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just, watching YouTube. So i decided to get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. loaded into the game, made my character and world and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. loved it as it was the best time had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memoriesShow moreShow less
Not gonna lie, took me a while to decide on yes or no. Yes, it's a fun concept and I was excited after enjoying the 2015 version. But the lack of logical sense doesn't end with the irregular naming (why not construction simulator 2021?) It starts with a forced 2hr tutorial before you can play multiplayer. No biggie, good to find the right controls. However... the menu to change controls isn't very intuitive, and some controls just can't be changed on keyboard (which sucks if you use an azerty). None of the controls on controller can be changed, as far as I and a mate of mine could figure out. But still, minor disturbances to play a game as long anticipated as this one, right?! 6yrs in the making, but it doesn't take you 6hrs to srly start to wonder who the heck did the testing on this game?! - Free camera controls are very unintuitive to impossible on controller - Auto camera controls are slow and make the weirdest angles - Traffic lights are on red always and forever, starts to feel like traffic light waiting simulator - Said traffic lights are all white when driving in cabview (also, why the heck no button to change between cabview & 3rd person on controller?!) - 2nd mission we did, the game bugged when we stacked 2 pieces of concrete on top in the truck. It gave us the option to load, but it was forever glued to the truckbed and impossible to get back off - Bulldozer is perma bugged after a fast travel from the repair point on the company premises (The construction view is no longer an option, but instead you repair the vehicle...) - When exciting a vehicle, the lights & beacon can be left on. But the warning lights not? And when you re-enter they are back activated. Anyway, the list goes on and on. I guess it's become more a game then a sim. All seasoned players wanting a sim will feel the hairs on their back raise when you see where chains now hook to the bucket of the excavator. You did this right in the 2015 version?! Why these steps back. 6 yrs for this. Too bad none of the youtubers and other influencers who got an early copy mentioned or encountered any of these bugs in their videos... Also a bugreport tool would be nice if you're going to let the players of the alpha version be your testmonkeys. All that said and done, the details have far improved and the soil physics are nice; the choice of vehicles is an immense improvement and it's nice you've acquired a fair amount of licensed brands! Good luck to those who want to try, but if you can restrain yourself I'd definitely wait for some patches to release. I rly want to give this a thumbs up, and I hope I can in the future. But in this state, for this money; I just can't.Show moreShow less

This is not a simulator. This is an on-the-rails, everything scripted, perform A / perform B / perform C game. There is none of the usual challenge and satisfaction that comes with doing a task properly, since when you get to about 80% of any task (like compacting asphalt, or digging a trench) it magically completes the rest for you and normally completes a bunch of other unspecified tasks too (eg, on almost completing a task to dig a trench for a road, suddenly it was complete, clean, had scaffolding, and 3 ancillary trenches). The tutorial is mandatory before you can do anything, and you can be forgiven for thinking "maybe its just like this for the tutorial" but nope. Also the tutorial is conveniently just over 2 hours long, conveniently long enough to take you out of the Steam refund period. All vehicles appear to have welded diffs, and turn like furniture. Hardware optimisation is terrible. All this can be yours for £30.Show moreShow less
A couple of quick fixes for things some people are refunding the game or writing bad reviews for: Controller not working: On the steam page where you start the game, click on the cog wheel, then Properties. Under Controller, select “Disable Steam Input” in the drop down menu. Free Camera: Clicking the left stick will enable the free camera… for a very short period of time before locking you back in. To keep it “free” indefinitely, go to the ingame settings -> Camera -> Camera Controls (Controller) and switch it to “Toggle”. Once you toggle it, it will stay free (which is an absolute must for driving) until you either click the stick again, change views, or exit the vehicle. If you want to use your mouse for a free view without having to hold the mouse button, enable either “toggle” or “always” under Camera Controls (Mouse). — Update — Steam Deck Support: I’ve seen this asked a lot in comments all over, so I figured I’d add it in here for those who are wondering. As of today, Sept. 24th 2022, Valve has not officially verified Steam Deck support for this title. After a few minutes of testing it myself, I can confirm that it does in fact work on the Deck right “out of the box”. On the default settings, I am getting somewhere between 35 to 40 fps, but I’m sure frame rates can be further improved with some tweaking in the settings. One minor issue I noticed was that the start and select buttons (sorry I'm old school; you know the one with the three lines and the one with the two windows) BOTH bring up the menu (settings, end game etc.) unlike on the Xbox controller, where one brings up the menu and the other the map with company/contracts/etc. Without the map/company functions, this game would be unplayable, as you can’t currently change button mappings in the game (unless if you maybe change the Deck’s controller layout in Steam itself). Luckily the map is accessible by pressing either one of the touchpads. Obviously this could change once support is official/verified, but until then just make sure you don’t somehow have those deactivated. —— Many of the performance complaints may sort themselves out for you as well. My rig is fairly beefy (8700K, 3080, 32GB RAM, SSDs etc., everything overclocked) and also had initial stuttering issues. Many games have this “problem” when first loading maps as you drive through them. This happens on your first run or any time there’s a game update. Once the game loads in the new assets, aka you’ve visited most parts of the map, the stutter should subside and performance should improve significantly. There are still some optimization issues regardless, but those will hopefully be patched out soon. Overall I’m not saying the game has no problems at all. Personally I think the controls take some getting used to, traffic lights stay red for way too long, and traffic moves way too slowly, among other little things that could be improved. A few minutes spent in the settings, however, might improve your experience to an acceptable and even enjoyable level until patches are out, it definitely did for me. To be fair, the developers’ choice of default settings aren’t ideal, but maybe try these first and play around with other settings before giving up on the game entirely. CheersShow moreShow less
Delivery Simulator would be a more accurate title. You spend all of your time delivering materials and that's about it. The only 'construction' element is working a loader. Multiplayer just ends up being one person going to get materials while the rest of the group stands around. (Which I suppose is accurate to the construction world lol)Show moreShow less
