Construction Simulator
SCORE: 72
I wanted to like Construction Simulator so bad. I even live streamed
Construction Simulator multiple weeks in a row. The one glaring issue
with Construction Simulator finally had me stop playing this game
altogether. Construction Simulator looks okay, and it sounds really
nice. There are all kinds of different pieces of equipment that families
can work with. The whole construction aspect in Construction Simulator
is fantastic.
The biggest problem with Construction Simulator are the controls. The
controls in Construction Simulator are not intuitive. The controls are
generally frustrating, irritating, aggravating, and annoying. At the end
of the day the controls are pretty important to a video game like
Construction Simulator. If I struggle doing anything on every single job
then why would I keep playing this game?
There are so many things in Construction Simulator that were done right.
We get jobs, and we drive out to the site. We get into different
vehicles and work the job. I tried to go into the menus and look at the
controls in Construction Simulator. Sadly not everything is covered
there. I ran into issues with extending or retracting the arms in some
vehicles in Construction Simulator. Resetting the controls when I needed
to retract them worked the best. How sad is that?
The Xbox Series X version of Construction Simulator is the Gold Edition.
I know Construction Simulator has been on other machines in the past as
well. I love how Construction Simulator has over one hundred different
machines we can use on three different large maps. I love getting
instructions on what I am supposed to do. I love how Construction
Simulator will highlight items we need to work with and on.
The view will change in Construction Simulator depending on where you
are. If you are in a vehicle then you will have one view. If you are
walking around with your character that you created then you will have a
different view. Construction Simulator does this view swapping really
well. I had fun playing Construction Simulator as long as I was not
controlling any of the vehicles.
