Don't normally write reviews, however. As a sight impaired PC user, games have to be pretty easy to use. ie no minute details, simple uncomplicated game play and engaging. Yes this games has bugs, the graphic FPS needs looking at and the physics are on the odd side to say the least. However, for me, it's engaging and fun. It fulfills lots of the things I will never be able to do as I am disabled. I will never be know the joy of what it is like to operate a tower crane or an excavator for the fear of death on a moassive scale. I will also never be allowed to drive a lorry at break neck speed, through a city, fully loaded with the earth I have just loaded. Lets face it, It would be silly to even let me near one, let alone ask me to transport big sets of football stadium flood lights.... So yeah, I rate this game, it has issues that are being ironed out, it's engaging and fun. If you like that sort of thing.... Which I do... fricking lorry's, excavators n concrete mixers! Whats not to like.....Show moreShow less
Played a few contracts after the tutorial, the game has an interesting concept, transport, excavate, construct, trade materials. However, so far into the game it seems that it should be called "construction material transport simulator" rather than construction... It seems that the good stuff does not start to happen in the game anytime soon. All I have been doing go buy this go buy that and bring it to the construction site with the occasional dig here dig there. The game is pretty slow. Graphics are not very appealing, everything seems flat. there isn't even animation in buildings rising from the ground and becoming something beautiful. Bring in material, done, texture pop-in a house made of bricks all of a sudden. Would I recommend this game? No, unfortunately. This simulator could have been A LOT better than that. Nevertheless, I am not slamming the door on this game should it become a franchise and see later iterations i.e 2016 2017 etc. Unless Construction simulator becomes a better game later down the road, this will be the first and last I'll ever buy. If I want to compare, there is for example, Euro truck simulator 2, it is simply driving a truck from point A to point B delivering orders and that is it. This sounds miles more boring that construction simulator, I have done about 48 hours driving trucks around europe. Why is that you might ask, because it is VERY good at what it does, the gameplay feels right the truck weight, the handling with or without a light or heavy trailer loads, the graphics are alright and there are also very good quality attributes in that game. If you are unsure about this game, find some youtube "lets play" videos and see if you like the game. If you are not fully confident about buying it I do not recommend making a purchase.Show moreShow less
As I'm writing this, I've played this game 700 hours and I've enjoyed every minute of it. It's hard to think of a better value for the money. No game is perfect, but this one has just the right recipe for me. In addition, a year after release the devs are still very attentive, cranking out updates, bug fixes and DLC. They have also released editing tools and tutorial videos for the modding community. I've seen negative reviews written by people who played only a few hours, were stumped by some problem outside the game (computer or network problems, most often game controller problems) and had no patience to try to make it work for them. I use two full-size joysticks, a steering wheel and pedals, with no problem whatsoever. All these devices are 10 years old and my computer is 6 years old. I've also seen complaints by people with unrealistic expectations. While CS2015 is not a perfect technical simulator (what do you expect, it is based on the Unity engine), it is realistic enough that it WILL help you with real-life operation. For example, I sometimes use excavators in real life, and playing this game with two full-size joysticks helps me maintain and improve my dexterity. Also, it is not focused on simulating a single machine, but rather a broad range of them. But simulation is not the core of this game. Having fun building, driving, operating machines is what it's about, especially in multi-player sessions, which are where the game shines. Some players have complained that there is too much driving, too much delivery. These people obviously have never observed a real-life construction site. It's all about delivering materials when needed and setting them in place with machines. That is what the game does. Running around hammering nails would make a very boring game.Show moreShow less
The game is really fun, BUT because of all the bugs and glitches I can't recommend it. Way to many game breaking bugs that requires restarts. Multiplayer works okay with 1 or 2 friends. A full lobby of 4 causes so much lag that it is impossible to play. This game should have been marked as alpha or early beta, because it is very, very far from finished.Show moreShow less
Ok... so since this game is getting mixed reviews, and MOST of the gameplay vids I could find were all some variation of the same job/mission/equipment, I thought I'd throw a writeup together that could actually offer some fresh insights. What is this game? The gameplay is mostly doing actual construction. By that I mean, you essentially take various vehicles (flatbeds, dump trucks, cement mixers etc) and drive them from the job site, to the necessary materials dealer. There you purchase the materials, load up with a forklift, or some other medium, and transport them back to the job site. At the job site, you will perform a specific task, that can be tedious/dull/etc. OR, it can be exactly what you're hoping it will be. Allow me to elaborate. With the mini excavator for example. You're often assigned a task of digging a small trench. As you may expect... this takes time. It's quite repetitive, but it is in fact digging, which is a component of construction, and frankly... a feature that many of you should be interested in playing this game. I've also used extensively the larger flatbed truck with the crane attached to it. This vehicle I find a little annoying, because the darn health and safety rubes have had their way, and I'm unable to reposition it without completely retracting the boom, and stowing it. What about the many complaints? Well... I think the physics are quite alright. Certainly not perfect, but then again... I don't think the physics in Kerbal Space Program, Euro Truck Simulator, or Microsoft Flight Sim are perfect either. BUT... this game is still VERY playable with the current setup. I would'nt even think to consider the physics to be "game breaking". Other people have complained of game crashing bugs or glitches. I haven't encountered a single one. I thought my game had crashed once, but it was actually my laptop going into hibernate because I had exhausted the battery playing this game. Also the controls. I'm not entirely sure what people expect here? I'm also not sure what the issue is? I play this game just fine using the keyboard and mouse... INCLUDING some of the more complex equipment. I'm not certain a controller would make it easier either. Fact. Excavators have MANY controls. They have to bind them somewhere on a PC... and while the learning curve may be present, it certainly isn't steep. Controls are a non-factor here. Simple as that. So then... should you BUY this game? If you're looking for a game where you can drive some abstract trucks that have a LOT of extra gizmo type functionality (crane parts, dumpers, stabilizers, etc)... and you don't mind doing the leg work involved in ACTUAL construction, with some stages of digging, dumping, pouring, craning added in... then yes. This game is solid. 8/10. If you're looking for something with a little more hands on, and less transporting... then no. Leave it be. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THIS GAME IS! It's like Euro Truck Simulator, with slightly different physics, and the added task of doing the work at the delivery sites, rather than simply delivering. It adds that extra little bit. A great starting point to build off of. But not perfect. Overall, 7/10. If you're a sim nerd, or a construction fan... bump it to 8/10. If you're looking for ETS... I won't drop any points, but just go play ETS.Show moreShow less
The game is not about Construction, but about hauling, logistics and freighting. You don't build things! You deliver bricks and dig holes. Hardly a simulator more arcade. You can't damage you vehicles. You can't lose any project! Steering system is strange...Show moreShow less
Good game but here are some thoughts... First off, I'm a big heavy equipment fan. I've been around tractors since I was 3, everybody in my family was in construction at some point or another, it's in my blood. So when I saw there was another heavy equipment sim out, I decided to try it, and approached it with an eager, open mind. My only other experience with construction sims is with Demolition Company; that was a fun game, but it left you wanting more freedom and construction activities. this game offers just that. Bugs: I don't think this game is as bug ridden as people say it is, you've just really got to pay attention to the details. For example: One user wrote he was upset because he was unable to exceed 10KPM in the tipper. I ran into this same issue, then I realized I didn't secure my load and retract the booms all the way. Once I did, I accelerated to much higher speeds. Physics: If you've ever operated a real machine, or simply a hand shovel, the digging physics in this game are going to annoy you at first. The excavator physics (once I finally set the joystick functions to CAT/standard US) I was soon annoyed by how unrealistic the digging is. Then I realized how the game thinks you should dig (you'll learn, lol) and it was smooth sailing from there. Digging seems to be the hardest physic to animate and develop for a game, hence the reason this is as far as it's come so far. I just barely finished the tutorial but, so far, I like the game despite it's quirks. Still, I'm glad on only spend the 60% off sale price on it. Be patient, I have a feeling things will only get better with these construction simulators. More machines and better physics are inevitable. Just look how far other simulation games have come. Flight Simulator 2000 anybody?Show moreShow less
You cannot lose in this game. And it is a big problem. Your vehicles cannot get damaged, no matter what you hit. Your quality of work, e.g. accuracy of placing bricks, depth of the hole dug on the ground, has no impact whatsoever to the outcome of your "construction". Thus, you always "win". You always complete the contract. Economy / money management is virtually nonexistent. Yes you get your own "company" and you hire people, but you practically cannot lose money. Maybe this game is worth it on a sale, if you want to spend a few hours on it. It is definitely not worth the regular price.Show moreShow less
After playing for an hour I have only completed the first job/tutorial. It is a pretty decent game but not for $26 even on sale. Keeping in mind that this is still a new game, I feel that there is a lot of work to be done to improve this game. The controls, like any other game, take time to get used to, that's just a given. Overall, not a bad game and it is easy to get hooked so with that said I do recommend this game but I would suggest waiting for the price to go down unless you just can't wait to try it out.Show moreShow less
From the simulators that are not simulators "category"; here it is construction simulator. To be honest, this game offer so much that it is sad to not being able to recommend it; but we need to be honest with other players and say how the game is, and not "what it could be if". First thing is the graphic: nothing exceptional, some nice models and in general everything seems fine; although this is another one of these games built on Unity or another similar engine, so all the assets seems pretty clean and out of the asset store. This give the game a very "amateurish" feel; where roads, buildings and everything else is very "clean" and straight out of a perfect world. I get that this is a small village in the alps or whatever, but I have never seen such clean walls. I have seen worst, so this is not the main reason why I don't suggest the game. Sound is OK; same for traffic; where the cars are sliding around more than rolling, but at least they are able to avoid accidents with you. They get stuck causing huge lines, but that's a different story. The game itself is disappointing; it allow you to build a TON of stuff; fron yards to pipe rails to buildings; but in doing so it force you to use a lot of different vehicles, and this is the issue: none of them drive and operate decently. I did try the first few hours; and beside the trucks, I could not operate much more than that. The controls for the excavator are not really intuitive, and even to dig a hole it takes a lot of practice, not because the game is hard, but because the controls are atrocious. Multiply this for most of the game vehicles; especially because you are required to fill certain areas with dirt, or remove dirt from certain areas; and here you get why I do not recommend this game. It is an exercise in frustration to play the game, and this is disappointing because overall the game offer so much. You can really do almost anything a construction company would do; which sound interesting to me. Another negative is the whole UI; once you miss the objective, there is no way to know how to accomplish it; the game leave you be doing whatever you want, and this is a problem if you missed where to get the pipes, or where to dig, or what to do in general. The mission screen only give you a bit of info, but there is no indicator about where to go, which tool or vehicle to use and so on. In the end; if you can put up with the controls and the disappointing graphics; maybe you may like the game, but I would not say that I recommend this game, in the current state.Show moreShow less
