Builder Simulator is another simulation game in the vast portfolio of the Polish company PlayWay. As the title suggests, this time we deal with a game in which we play the role of a builder. The project was developed by Live Motion Games team, whose portfolio includes the warmly welcomed Train Station Renovation.

Mechanics

In Builder Simulator the action is observed from a first (FPP) or third (TPP) person perspective. The game allows us to design, build and finish various buildings - from houses, through shops, to industrial facilities. While on an easy difficulty level the game guides us step by step, explaining the complexities of a builder's work, on the highest difficulty level we have to demonstrate appropriate knowledge and skills.
