    I don't know what I expected. As someone who actually uses heavy equipment every day, I keep finding details that make me go " What the ****, this is NOT how it actually works!!!!!" The good: No foremen to yell at you. No laborers to get in your way. No paperwork to fill out. No waiting around for hours for certain things to happen. You can take your sweet time getting the job done. Cons: Physics engine is junk. Some of the equipment is based on European models. Why use a cabover dump…

    Bought if for the kids... They haven't got a turn yet. XD I honestly was just trying it out to see if they've be able to figure it out, but ended up spending nearly 4 hours playing it so far! Game play is straight forward and controls are both intuitive and on screen in a nonobtrusive manner for people who need them. It's relatively simple and somehow oddly relaxing.

    Game works very well, no problems with anything. Nice learning curve and adding new items, perfect pace. Some nice touches indeed. If you like knocking things down and upgrading machines, this is the perfect game and hardly costs anything. 10/10

    I hate to give bad reviews of games I could barely enjoy, especially when I got them for free, but I don't feel like recommending this game at this price for a good lot of reasons. The game is not as bad as it could seem, basically good ideas and decent mechanics, but it's quite crippled by the bad quality of most of features. This game had less care than Car Mechanic Simulator (still from Playway) and not a proper focus on the main objective, unlike My Summer Car (it has very bad graphic but…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00Fsi4jMH7U I've received the code more or less the same time I got my hands on Shadow Warrior 2 and somehow I ended up more interested in playing this one. I am not a fan of simulation genre (and majority of casual games), as I find most of those titles to be boring, blunt and underdeveloped cash grabs. This one isn't - you can feel that you're progressing as more and more vehicles, mission types and options become available to you and you can feel that…

    This is not a sim like Euro/Amer Truck simulator although it did engage me enough to complete some contracts. Arcade style game that I would describe as a semi-serious 'this is what dad does'. I let my friend play with the controller before he swore and refused to play. With mouse and keyboard controls it works well but it is not friendly on controller. I only recommend it for casual players and a younger audience would want to practice in a virtual sandbox. Asking this to be a sim expertience…

    It's more of a hybrid genre game somewhere between Action-Casual and Simulation, not necessarily a pure simulator. However, if you enjoy the theme and subject matter, it's some pretty good relaxing casual fun. I do think the game's description and how it presents its gameplay in its trailer should be tweaked a little bit. This is not really a pure sandbox, as the goals and progression are very directed and sequential, not open-ended. It's also not that close to a pure simulator- there are…

    This is actually quite good, as far as “Anything Simulator” games go. Casual, nice presentation (including music), good interface, and most importantly, smooth controls that don't make you wish you were an octopus or a similar many-limbed monstrosity.

    I have had about an hour and a half of play so far. I like it. Good for someone who likes other simulation type games. The pace may be slow for some, but I have enjoyed it while watching some Arrested Development. So far it reminds me of Farming Simulator and Construction Simulator (2014 for Android).

    I've played this game close to over a hour now, seems like a good game, Just came out so im sure i'll run into bugs. Wish there was more detail on the machines. Other than that seems like its going to be a good game. You get to work hands on with the machines to fix them, and get to demo stuff and even build stuff so its evened out. Even if you start and the first thing pops up is your company is BROKE!! Someone is spending all my money! Intro Video Below!…

    Where do I start. First of all - it is not a sandbox. Sandboxes do not have any set end. In this game your last "mission" is to build an office building. End of story. Secondly it is but a short campaign - you get missions that start with the acquisition of a campsite, and you end with the aforementioned office building. With some wooden sheds etc in the meantime. Much better is the demolition work, but as mentioned above - it ends quickly with the game informing you that you should take…

    Yeah it's not a perfect sim or anything, but I didn't expect it to be. Had great fun playing this with my 4 year old, got nearly 20 hours out of the main game, and there's still fun to be had after that. Graphics are actually better than I thought they'd be, and there's a lot to be said for just smashing things up!

    Game plays quite well. Looks decent, runs smoothly, and some aspects of the demolition are surprisingly fun. Using a wrecking ball on an old brick building was a blast! It's more "arcadish" than a sim. Which is nice in that it's less work and grind than some of the more realistic sims I've played. Downside: There are a few nitpicks here and there but nothing game breaking. I think it's a nice balance, and feel good about the experience at the price I paid (~$15).

    Liking it so far, was a little confused at the start how to demolish things but once I got going it was all good, my only issue so far is demolishing walls with the jackhammer is proving a little difficult in some places as it doesn't reach the bottom of the wall making it impossible to clear an area. Loving this though, makes a change from the usual games.

These kind of games are relaxing to me, and I just enjoy them so much! I hope there will more added to the game, I know there is a new add on, which I am going to get right after I finish this, but I hope there will be more!

    It's a pretty decent game. It looks good, but, not like, Tripple A titel good. The Physic engine is kinda, like from the early 2000's, so, don't except some advance delmolting. And driveing some vechicles will show you some pretty silly mistakes too, just look at the Wheels of your Ford Pickup truck, you'll notice something funny. But all in all, I can say, it's a realy nice game, just can't reccommend it, to buy it for 20 bucks, just get it for under 10, when it's on the sale! 8/10.

    Straight forward and simple game that stays true to it's name. Pros: Variety of machines and tools for construction and demolition. Variety of contracts dealing with small and large projects. Open world environment gives the feel of projects having meaning. Cons: Some corners have been cut in the open world, but where it needs to have the mechanics it absolutely does. Do you get one Hour of gameplay per $6 paid?: Yes, even at full price Ease of 100%: No steam achivements, but game tracks…

Its allows you to work up to some of the big demo rigs to really get your the money rolling. Yes i don't have much time 0.6 hours at time of post but its a fun little game and i do recomand it if you just want to break stuff with heavy equipment.

    Fun game to keep you occupied for several hours to a day, then starts to get a bit bland and repetitive. Definitely NOT worth the full retail price of 20 bucks. Best to wait for this game to be on sale and grab it then. I paid 4 bucks for it, and thats about all that it is worth. I only recommend this game when it is on sale or permanently lowered in price.

    Overall Demolish & Build 2017 Company 2017 is a pretty darn good game. It has arcade style gameplay that will hook you immediately, but it isn't that deep. The big rigs are fun to drive and there is always something to do in the game. The world feels alive without too much padding, but there are some huge negatives like the building aspect of the game and just the overall ease of which the game can be beaten. Overall you should definitely check this game out if you like simulators and building.…
