    I got the game because I want to improve my excavator operator skills and get more fluid. Obviously you need to work in the dirt to really master it, but a game can work to build muscle memory for which joystick does what. It's definitely helping me with that so I'm happy about the game overall. Regarding digging specifically, on the plus side the game lets you choose between the two control patterns that I know of (ISO and SAE, but I think they call it SAE and Euro, whatever) and the…

    Overall Rate: 4/10 Because of poor performance it's hard to enjoy. It's not a game but interactive advertisement of German machinery, which is still great idea but poor execution. * ULTRA Low quality design (terrain generator and texture quality) - 2/10 * Poor AI car causing incidents and getting stuck - 2/10 * Masochistic achievements and all must be done by player, stages finished by workers don't count - 2/10 * Material dealers don't load products on truck, must be loaded by player which…

    DON'T purchase this. There are many bugs still in this program and it still needs updating as some of the "jobs" in this are bugged where you can't finish it.

    The controls are far too clunky for a game made back in 2015. The keyboard controls aren't good enough and the controller controls are a strange mix of not sensitive enough and hyper sensitive to the point of annoyance. For the hour or so that I played this game I often had to utilize a mix of keyboard and controller inputs just to make the game playable, something I do not enjoy having to swap between every other minute or so. On top of that some of the controls had inverted schemes while…

    2.6 hours into this game, and the UI became bugged while wouldn't allow me to progress thru the game. I've tried everything I could do to try to troubleshoot the game. I even went to the Steam Discussions. I tried to post in the discussion, but wasn't allowed to report my bug because I wasn't a "member of the community". It was fun while it lasted, but I hoped to get more than 2.5 hours of game play out of it.

    Fun enough for the sale price I paid. Things I do not like: There is about as much truck simulator in this game as construction simulator, I came for the toys not the trucks, if I want that, there are games that did it better. You cannot send one of your employees on material runs while you excavate or do something actually fun. I am a bit surprised by the lack of variety of construction equipment, no dozers, no graders. You get 4 excavators 1 wheel loader, 1 drill, 1 roller, and 6 cranes,…

    Quest/job instructions are unclear. It's difficult to find where to go, how to go, what to do, and what to buy from the store. You need to look at the job tab, which is also difficult to find. And then you need to search for that in the store to buy it.

    The controls are not intuitive in any way. I find myself constantly having to refer to a guide every time I operate a different truck. But worse, the tutorial is absolutely useless. I finally had to give up trying simply because I had to refer to online guides every single step simply because of the lack of explanation in game.

    IF you have not played before i highly recommend this game for its decent graphics, kind players in multiplayer and its realistic(ish) physics (when the game doesnt bug out in hilarious ways) and even the bugs that do appear throughout the game aren't game breaking and dont soft lock you.

    Didn't play when it came out, but 8 years after it just doesn't hold up as a good game, in my opinion. Very rough game design that feels like an Arma mod style gameplay with barren world, low poly count, no audio voiceovers, weird physics, unbelievably tedious and uninteresting escort missions disguised as construction. Hopefully the new one actually adds some actual enjoyment and more polish.

    Construction Simulator 2015 is an appealing heavy-machinery simulation built around the satisfaction of taking an empty construction site and gradually turning it into something complete. Developed by weltenbauer. Software Entwicklung GmbH and published by astragon Entertainment, the game focuses less on abstract construction management and more on physically performing the work. Excavating foundations, transporting materials, pouring concrete, operating cranes, and maneuvering specialized…

    This game can simply not be beat. From stellar multiplayer to unbeatable graphics, this game allows the player to become fully immersed in the construction lifestyle. I personally felt as though I had been a construction worker in my heart for my entire life. I was 9 when this game came out and I understand now that even then this was destiny for me. Luckily, this game still runs well on modern hardware so you can see what construction workers do everyday. From flipping cars on the freeway to…

    Construction Simulator 2015 is the game I’ve played the most with a friend, and it’s been an absolute blast. The game offers a fantastic construction experience with a variety of machinery and engaging projects. The fun factor is off the charts, and it’s always been a go-to for me and my buddy. Whether it’s building from the ground up or managing intricate tasks, it’s been a blast every time. Rating: ★★★★★

    Oh my god! The controls are so bad that it's impossible to drive in a straight line. Seriously, the camera is never looking where you need it and since you can't control the camera, you have no idea what the machine you're trying to control is actually doing. Add the over-exuberant collision system which ejects everything from the forklift which means that you can't pick anything up or move to where you need to. What a craptacular waste of time and money.

    Bought the deluxe edition during a sale, as being a mud/snowrunner fan I thought that this would be one of those weird boring games that I sink hours into, but for what I've played so far I'd be better just playing more Snowrunner. I can't go into much detail as I've only done the first mission after the tutorial but after finishing that I was looking for a refund. There was no constructing/building it was literally just pick up some dirt, pick up some supplies and drop a skip off...boom job…

    Hello all, Pro: this is a fun game for anyone looking for a chill time to relax and build up the town. The quest line was fun and unlocking the new areas was a blast, I feel like Oliver Twist asking "please sir I want some more" ha ha. I love how it slowly walks you into the machines, teaching you how they work for the novice gamer to be able to learn the controls easy. Also being able to pay to have your equipment shipped to the job sight is so wicked cool I love that. And as a retired Heavy…

    In general, besides graphics, it does not seem much of a downgrade to Construction Simulator from 2022. Both have bugs. I feel often lost in the game as I do not know if I am stupid or the game buggy. Until now I just moved stuff from A to B using different gear and digging some wholes. I wish the quality would be of Euro Truck Simulator 2. The game is quite simple. Many features used from other games are absent. For example the audio changes driving in a tunnel or being inside of a vehicle.…

    Even though this game is nearly 10 years old, it is really fun. It can be frustrating when it comes to excavating just due to the mechanics. Certain things can freak out cargo too just by bumping things, but that's just hte nature of the beast. Compared to the latest Construction Simulator this one from 2015 is easier the most part (they changed a lot in the new version). When you talk to the AI it's all text based so keep that in mind if you expected real voices. Watch your finances…

    Failed to make it work meaningfully. Default control settings had player constantly running in circles, when I managed to stop that, got in the truck and it immediately shot off backwards and crashed into the train station. Couldn't assign any meaningful controls so refund time. Let's hope the new version is better, although I won't be buying that unless/until it's on sale.

I have messed about with it and built few properties but not have that much time to be playing it properly . Graphics are very very neat , to the point that wood joists have patterns , bricks look proper like bricks , basically everything is extremely well done and considering it was 2015 , this simulator is a Banger !!! You can be in control of a range of construction vehicles . 10/10…

    A very chill game in solo and more fun in multiplayer but terrible for achievement hunting. In case of graphics this game may not be very fancy but the core concept of doing tasks can be simply done without having to use a lot of concentration. Things happen at a rather slow and steady speed, resulting in quickly getting more hours of playtime than you would have expected for your progress. It would be great for achievement hunters if all players could progress achievements for everyone…
