    This game might be fun to tinker with but it ignores simple engineering physics. I'm a civil engineer and this game refuses to acknowledge load physics. It will not equally distribute load across members in certain ways and will instead load one member at a time until each fails.

    If my first year engineering statics course was like this I might've gone into civil engineering all those years ago. Of course, if civil engineering courses were like this lots of people would be dead. It's good casual fun, build, crash, strengthen a part, crash, realize you're out of budget, try random designs until it works. Yup, that's the design process for you.

    Decent light-hearted sim that provides all that you can expect. It is not a masterpiece but can easily scratch engineering itch and can be challenging if you try 100% it. Recommended for people who like casual puzzles. Pros: - Good optimisation; - A lot of levels; - Cartoony art style; - Intuitive controls; - Good difficulty curve; - Cons: - Inconsistent physics; - Mediocre soundtrack;

Players who liked Bridge Constructor talk about fun physics puzzles that are addictive and casual; those who didn't talk about physics are inconsistent and unrealistic. Which matters more to you?

    The game consists of building bridges with a set of available materials while keeping to a tight budget. As far as gameplay is concerned, the game fares well to what you expect from the short description I've given. Sadly, there is no explanation to how the physics of the game work besides "triangles are cool" or whatever. This leaves me oftentimes going online looking at real-life bridges and methodologies to build them, just to realize that most of this is not properly implemented into the…

    A glorified mobile game on PC, with questionable realism for building bridges. I was really liking it at first and then the missions got more crazy hard very quickly. Asking you do seemingly impossible and restricted setups. I kept seeing crazy builds on this game and even the most basic normal bridge doesn't always work lol. Even the guide makes no sense, asking to build in a way that doesn't work? Weird. But for 50p it was amusing until the end

Really had fun with BCP. Bridge Constructor aka this game is crap. Everything feels bad. The menu looks awful, constructing feels slow, the cars are slow, there are no real PC options, the game play is extra boring. I could go on but I will stop here.

    Overview: 'Bridge Constructor' is one of many construction games where the player must build a bridge sturdy enough to carry a variety of vehicles from one side to the other while keeping within budget and without the bridge breaking. You play as a bridge engineer as you build your way through 5 islands all of which are in desperate need of bridges because for some reason roads are paved but blueprints for bridges are left unaddressed. You go from building simple and straightforward bridges to…

    The levels are repetitive, they don't have variety in goals or solutions. The physics feel off, and you are not allowed overbudget, not even for a reduced reward or even just to mess around and it's a mindlessly simple game until you unlock the Tanker Challenge mode which, when combined with the restrictive building capabilities and reusing of the same levels, has such ridiculously tight restrictions without being fresh or interesting. UI is awful and clunky. I bought this at 90% off, and…

    the Poly bridge series has spoiled me. I miss having the redo button, stress indicator, copy/paste, sim speedup and keyboard shortcuts. The controls also are very wonky. right click stops building but also deletes pieces so many times you accidentally delete something when you try to stop building. i 100%ed the game and its very difficult for the heavier vehicles. the game felt like it wanted a specific solution for each level and did not have the room for me to experiment and try…

    As a bridge constructor it's okay, it does what it needs to. My main problem is whenever a game forces you to complete a game on X difficulty to unlock XX difficulty, then having to fully replay the game in the XX difficulty to acquire further unlocks (or in this case achievements). Dark pattern behaviour to force more playtime unnecessarily. Completionists beware. Average gamers enjoy.

    It is a passable builder mostly because of its simplicity and ease of use. It comes across as a cheap mobile game with the templated menus and all that and the Java game style en masse advertisements of other games. The building physics are silly and seem to favor building beams and "triangles", essentially being about figuring out what shapes the game treats as durable and building them almost exclusively. I got this game from a Fanatical Mystery Bundle.
