To do this you simply collect it in the bucket of your digger and place it in a pre-determined spot just off the road. One of the first jobs you need to do is clear a road by moving the dirt which has covered the tarmac.

Construction Simulator PS5 Review – Health and Safety on site I feel that it is too late to implement these mechanics into the game, but certainly could be looked at on a future release. It has been shown to be done better in other games and here it misses the mark by a long way. Then, as I mentioned, driving off-road with large machines doesn’t feel like a true ‘sim’ element to the game. They are a constant hinderance throughout. One of my main issues with this is the unbelievably slow AI vehicles that you share the road with.

There is certainly something fun about driving around in huge machinery and Astragon Entertainment’s new soft reboot of Construction Simulator does look to provide this without the use of PPE on the job. One of my colleagues got to grips with a previous release of Construction Simulator a few years ago and had a load of fun, now it was my turn to try and re-live my childhood to see if I could get the same enjoyment.
