Builder Simulator
Builder Simulator is the perfect game for those who want to build a house, from the ground up, one brick at a time. On easy, the game will guide and teach you by showing you full instruction, but on hard you will get no help - instead rely on your builder skills and make everything yourself.

“Thank the universe I bought this on a deep discount. The game sucks, it's so restrictive and so barebones. You can't do anything outside of predefined blueprints. And also, someone mentioned that money doesn't make any…”
“Builder Simulator is the perfect game for those who want to build a house, what a lie”
“The tutorial contract is terrible and doesn't really teach anything, it took me 10 minutes just to figure out how to pull out the shovel, and the robot assistant guy is annoying as hell and the game would be better…”

“I like the concept of the game I hope it becomes real famous. But honestly the amount of bugs especially for a PAID GAME is off putting and disappointing. Like you would be working for an hour then you would be hit with…”
“It's probably me, but the game made me literally feel sick and nauseous. Also the game would need bit of performance tuning. My computer is not top notch, but far from being slow and I experienced significant stuttering…”
“Just bought a house in real life, so of course I was gonna try to build it here and decorate it etc. Needles to say that this game is nor only restrictive, it gets measurments wrong. I followed the schematics to the…”

“The tutorial literally doesn't even tell you what to do. What buttons do you press? What things do you need? How do you do things? I just kept trial and erroring what buttons to press and got frustrated. would love to…”
“Has to be the worst game ive played recently. Terrible tutorial, never tells you how to access to the tool wheel. And feels fake. I thought this was like the Building Simulator but its not.”

“Immediately upon loading the game I was met with an unpleasant user interface, no biggie. As you start the tutorial you are greeted with a very cringe, annoying introduction bot. No "creative mode" of sorts to just free…”
“Builder Simulator — это когда ты покупал симулятор стройки, а получил курс “угадай, что от тебя хочет робот”. Игра честно учит главному строительному навыку: 30 минут страдать в туториале и потом всё равно не понимать,…”

“Far too restrictive and the "tutorial" levels just suck at actually telling you what you need to do the job.”

“great game. the only issue is that there should be a way to check what is missing in case of big surfaces, because reaching 99% completion, and then being lost for minutes not knowing what is missing is not a great experience”
— a player, Steam review · 52 hrs played“Builder Simulator scratches a certain itch if you're into relaxed, methodical construction games — the tutorial is genuinely one of the best I've played, walking you through everything from laying foundations to tiling roofs, and the sandbox mode lets you design and build…”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“From the very beginning, I was excited to buy this game. I expected to be able to build my dream house and furnish it exactly how I wanted. In practice, however, it was completely different — instead of creative freedom, I ran into constant restrictions. I started by practicing…”
