About this game
In
Construction Simulator 2015, you take the controls
of 15 realistic construction machines made by LIEBHERR, STILL and MAN
with high-quality 3D graphics. 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. Thanks to the
realistic controls, you can steer an excavator with two joysticks using
SAE controls and feel as if you are working on a real construction site.

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.
