The career mode takes you through each bench early on, including filling and installing a custom liquid cooling loop.Īs opposed to the first game, you now have to mod the components you want to watercool. You now have access to three workstation types: Building, watercooling, and case modding. The worst issue came when the game introduced its new bench system. The problem is that there wasn’t any reward for noticing that problem, nor was there a consequence for intentionally messing an issue like that up on other systems. The machine just needed a CPU upgrade, but I noticed that the two RAM sticks were installed next to each other (most motherboards need them spaced out between slots for full speed). There are plenty of teachable moments in the game that are just looked over, though.įor example, an early job came from an aspiring Fortnite streamer whose PC didn’t meet the minimum requirements.

There’s a fine line PC Building Simulator 2 has to walk between being an enjoyable game and being a tool for learning how to build a PC. Every order went out without a hitch, no matter how hard I tried to sabotage them.
To be clear, this is too much thermal paste applied incorrectly.īut nothing happened. I left PCIe brackets missing, intentionally installed the GPU and RAM in the wrong slots, and absolutely drowned every CPU in thermal paste. I started pushing back, malignantly messing up PC builds to see if customers would get upset. My business was starting to boom, but things were a little too quiet. If you’ve played the first game, you know the deal: Your faceless uncle left you another decrepit PC shop, and it’s your job to bring in orders, complete them with competence, and balance your budget so you can afford new components (and most importantly, rent). I started my preview of the beta with the timed career mode. Cable management? Don’t worry about it, just click the highlighted ports. Guitar Hero is the best touchstone for PC Building Simulator 2. It gives you the feeling of building a PC, with some licensed components in tow, but it glosses over a lot of the critical areas when it comes to assembling a machine. As someone who tenses up at too much thermal paste, I expected for PC Building Simulator 2 to disappoint me, but it didn’t - despite some gamified elements getting in the way of actually building a PC. It’s Guitar Hero for PC enthusiasts, leaning more heavily on being a game than being a tool for learning how to build a PC. PC Building Simulator 2, now in open beta on the Epic Games Store, isn’t any different.
