I really want to like this game but i struggle to i dont know who thought the controls were good needs to give there head a wobble they are so janky it makes the game almost impossible to play i have re started the game two times and both times the roof gets finished but the game does not register it as finished i think im done trying with this game
This game is a great time, although there is zero hand-holding here. You sink or swim, and sinking is easily done. The game really nails the creative freedom of construction and it does so in a way that is fairly easy to grasp yet tough to master. The game however has one major setback that stops it from being stellar. Once you have the funds together to build from scratch, you discover the limitation for yourself. You only ever have one property to build and manage, so the core aspect of the game, the building work, is rendered rather mute once you start renting the place out for steady income. If only the game allowed you to expand and become a proper DIY landlord, that would have set the game apart for sure.
Forget about all the bad reviews you might have seen, it is a game well worth your time. It is a great shame to never experience. Anyways, the money grind can be slow but... oh well, didn't really find any bugs myself, I played through the first house, sold it, bought another, rented it for quite a while, then retired. It was a fun experience and I'd highly recommend.
I've become Bob the builder
I really wanted to like this game but it was more of a struggle than it was fun. A large amount of features aren't explained to you aside from a book, a lot of them have bugs so they don't work anyway and when they do its because you are at the right height, with the right angle and looking at the exact pixel you need to be to make it work. You make so little money that any meaningful change or upgrade takes hours of work as a lot of the building materials are so expensive in comparison to what you can make in a day, I didn't even know a slot machine existed until I saw it in a discussion then after using it it paid out about 300 pounds then stopped paying me anything more for the rest of the game. It feels like they have made and released the game with no care or attention to make it playable and then moved on, don't bother unless its very cheap or free and you are willing to put up with a hell of a lot of bugs....
This game is great, I wish there was more job givers, characters etc. but it is a lovely jobely piece of work and makes me feel to be proud to be British and gives me a chance of home ownership that I will never have!
A decent enough construction/management simulation game. It's exactly as it seems, and you can get fairly creative with your builds visually, even if there's little functional reason to do so in-game. The achievements aren't too difficult to get, though unless you want to waste hours trying different mix combinations, you'll likely look up how to get the prime version of each mix, as the game never even hints at what a good combo would be other than experimentation. The game does have its problems, but I believe that if those negative reviews (or even my own complaints) turn you off from what you believe may be an enjoyable game for you, then get the game on sale, as it's still worth it then. I have 3 main complaints: 1. There's only 3 side jobs. They repeat endlessly and always pay the same. The first time you do each of the three you don't even get paid, you just get a cassette for music, which is neat in the way they did it, but it gets boring fast when it's just the exact same maintenance jobs over and over. Two of those jobs even require you to source your own materials, which can be a pain, while the third gives you everything you need and can be done in seconds. 2. There's only 1 housing plot. You can't own multiple plots to build and manage for multiple tenants while also retiring to your own. You just manage the single plot, and while you can freely buy and sell what you build on that plot, it's still very limiting, despite very clearly having multiple completely empty fields all around your plot that exist only to slowly collect scrap on over time. 3. There's only 1 save slot, so if you wanted to try playing differently, you need to wipe your old save (or manually back up your saves yourself).
Wenn es im Sale ist...joa...KANN man kaufen. Das Potential des Spiels wurde schlicht weg nicht ausgeschöpft. - Gelieferte Bestellungen glitchen gerne mal durch den Boden und landen unerreichbar im Nirvana (das gleiche passiert mit abgelegtem Werkzeug). - Die Physik des Spiels ist teils nicht existent und teils läuft sie regelrecht Amok. So fliegen bei einem volleren Container manche platzierte Objekte meterweit durch die Luft und das Aufstapeln bei der Schubkarre kann zur Geduldsprobe werden. - Des Öfteren werden Objekte beschädigt oder gar zerstört obwohl sie normal gehandhabt wurden. - Die Übersetzung ist für den größeren Teil „okay“, wirkt aber teils wie durch den Google Übersetzer gedreht. - Es gibt zwar ein Tutorial am Anfang und kleine Ratschläge der örtlichen Schnapsleiche, allerdings muss man sich diverse Kenntnisse selber aneignen (gerade im Bezug auf Mischverhältnisse von Mörtel, Beton und „non-fine“). - Der Baumodus gaukelt einem Vielfalt vor doch werden die Limitierungen schnell offenbar, wenn man sich austoben möchte. - Die Möglichkeiten Geld zu verdienen sind sehr limitiert bzw. nicht gut (lukrativ) ausbalanciert. Schrottsammlungen bieten jeden Monat die Möglichkeit zwischen 40 und 200 Pfund zu verdienen (nicht jeder Monat hat halbwegs gleich viel Schrott). Die drei Aufträge Dachdecken, halbhohe Mauer reparieren und das immer gleiche Fundament auffüllen wiederholen sich ständig(jeweils 30 Pfund (Dach und Mauer bieten hier höchstens die Abwechslung wie viel repariert/ausgetauscht werden muss)). Der Abwasch im Pub bringt durchschnittlich 13 Pfund pro Tag. Jeden dritten Tag kann man am Spielautomaten mit einem Jackpot von durchschnittlich 250 Pfund rechnen, jeden zweiten Tag sind es durchschnittlich 150 Pfund. - Die Kosten sind teils nicht gut ausbalanciert. Lebensmittel sind sehr günstig, genau wie gewisse Rohstoffe wie z.B. Sand. Allerdings sind z.B. Außenwände (welche anfänglich nur aus Stahldraht bestehen) sehr teuer und verursachen noch Zusatzkosten durch die „non-fine“ Füllung, Ziegel und Mörtel. - Die Transportmöglichkeiten sind teils witzlos. Nach einer Einleitungsmission erhält man zwar eine Schubkarre auf welcher man allerdings nur mit Hängen und Würgen zwei Baumstümpfe laden kann. Man kann zwar mehrere Planken vom geteerten Holz Tragen aber nur eine kleine Glasflasche für den Schrott. Es gibt keine Steigerung von der Schubkarre um mehr transportieren zu können geschweige denn sowas wie einen Rucksack für kleinere Teile. - Auch wenn die wenigen NPCs mehr Persönlichkeit haben als die durchschnittlichen Hauptcharaktere in neueren Bethesda Spielen so hätte man ihnen mehr Leben einhauchen können, statt sie nur steif an fixen Orten versauern zu lassen. - Die ersten drei Tage nachdem man einen Spielstand geladen hat drehen die immer gleichen drei Autos ihre Runden auf der Map, allerdings sind sie ab Tag vier nicht mehr zu sehen bis wieder geladen wird. - Egal wie hoch die Energie noch ist, ab zwei Uhr nachts gehen die Lichter aus. Nachts arbeiten ist also nicht wirklich möglich. - Mögliche Gelegenheiten andere leer stehende Häuser im Ort zu kaufen, zu renovieren und zu vermieten existieren schlicht weg nicht. - Einige Errungenschaften werden nicht gewertet obwohl man die Voraussetzungen erfüllt hat. Wer mit diesen Punkten leben kann, wird mit diesem Spiel seine Freude haben. Alle anderen sollten besser die Finger davon lassen.
