What is most surprising, however, is its inclusion of a full-fledged and completely fleshed out tutorial!

Besides a very mobile-oriented interface, Construction Simulator 3 Console Edition boasts a hefty sum of features and gameplay elements you would only come to expect from triple-A titles. While it started out as a mobile game, any first-time Construction Simulator 3 Console Edition players will never guess the game’s humble beginnings. This puts the game in quite a unique position! We rarely, if ever, get to experience mobile ports finding new life on massive video gaming platforms. Part of its addictive charm may come from the fact that Construction Simulator 3 began life as a mobile title. Fast forward to 2020, I am sitting in my living room with a MacBook on my lap and staring at the world map of the newest iteration in the franchise – with a serious itch to stop writing and continue lifting a bunch of rocks from the side of the road. I also faintly remember clicking the little X on the top-right of the screen and going about my life as if the very video I watched never existed. I faintly remember watching a trailer for Construction Simulator 2015 on one of those Demo Discs they used to pass out at conventions. Construction Simulator 3 Console Edition is the newest addition to my ever-growing collection of simulators, and to my surprise is one of the more addictive games on this list!Ĭonstruction Simulator is still a fairly new franchise compared to the likes of Farming Simulator. It baffles me how every single facet of life seems to have its own video game: from building and fixing up vehicles, to erecting a bustling farm, and even simulating the life of a busy little bee! What baffles me, even more, is how much I ended up enjoying all of the titles listed above, and the fact that there seems to be many more.
