The game is a bit abstract in the current times, but it’s an okay title nevertheless – it’s a good, albeit niche addition to the line-up of games. Excavate the foundation of a house with realistic machines, pour concrete into the wall panels of a factory with an enormous concrete pump, or test the steadiness of your hands by placing gigantic roof trusses with a mobile crane. Beginners will receive a lot of help, so they can also be successful farmers, who will require to manage finances, vehicles, employees and the animals very well. In Construction Simulator 2015, you take the controls of 16 realistic construction machines made by LIEBHERR, STILL and MAN with high-quality 3D graphics. On top of these, I can only say that the game can be a bit boring after a while.

The game’s graphics are not that important though. What about the visuals? Average, but the vehicles look much more detailed than the areas themselves, similar to Milestone’s Ride. There should be more music like the title screen one, because that’s not bad. It’s a good idea to put some background music in, because your thoughts can really fly off the game during harvesting or such.

The numbers aren’t really lively, but it’s alright, because you can’t go any other way than this.ĭo not expect an adrenaline-filled gameplay because of the genre of genre, plus this simulator is really a niche title. This is really great to see how much the developers have crammed into eight menu points, and you can move around these using L1 and R1. Potato, wheat, barley, sugar beet, silage, wood chips storage costs from milk to wool, seeds, fuel a big – really, roughly around 140 to choose from – line-up of vehicles, animals (sheep, chicken and cows), and of course the statistics of how we used our tools – the last one is really detailed. Couple the wheel with a pair of Saitek Side Panel. The wheel will be useless with most of that. Bear in mind that while the is a fair amount of driving in the game, the real meat of Construction Simulator is material handling and digging. Luckily, the game will offer you a one-week weather forecast, giving you news stories to look out for, you can look at your profits, the costs of upkeeping, the wages, the construction and so forth. A lot of people (myself included) have problems with controller calibration. But on another note: the game isn’t that arcade, so you have to connect the harvester’s header too. Why? There should have been some rails or something, so I wouldn’t end up running into the invisble wall. I managed to run into some several times, which is kinda sad to see in 2015. This might be a bit of an issue – the handling doesn’t seem… on spot for me, but it might have been just me taking a too sharp turn while harvesting… although this doesn’t explain the presence of those invisble walls. You can also drive vehicles as well, so if you ever wanted to get on board of a harvester, your dreams can come true. The controls are alright, there’s no need to practice it much: jump with X, duck with Square, L1+元 toggles the map view and so on. Instead, for example, you can either go to the United States to be a successful farmer in Westbridge Hills, or you can go for the Scandinavian area of Bjornholm, which will also offer you a quick tutorial tour too.

You can also pick a starting location too, because Giants Software didn’t just lazily built one place and be done with it. You can figure out the rest in Normal and Hard – the finances will be tough. Thankfully, the game offers three difficulties, changing several factors in the game: on Easy, you will have a bigger wallet in your hand and the loan from the bank won’t be that much, the successful missions reap more money and the employees will have a low wage. (This is basically the single target to achieve in the Career mode.) My first impressions were surprisingly positive: the calm – mainly because of the music – title screen showed a clean, but a bit unstylish menu, which immediately had a Tutorials option in order to make those first steps to create a successful micro-economy.
