The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and progression, with players feeling stuck in repetitive missions that fail to engage. Many express frustration over the inability to continue missions from where they left off, leading to a tedious experience. Overall, the narrative structure is seen as unpolished and unsatisfying, with a desire for more diverse missions and environments to enhance gameplay.
- “Add more missions that would require the use of bigger machines (wrecking ball, cranes, etc.) and that goes hand in hand with adding more vehicles and attachments.”
- “And if possible, add more regions or 'worlds' for us to visit and do missions.”
- “You have missions where you have to be careful or you have to pay if debris hits something it shouldn't.”
- “The game has no actual ending or endgame, just repetitive missions.”
- “I have tried playing this game several times over the last few months, but every time I get so bored/annoyed from the initial missions that I stop playing after half an hour or so.”
- “I wanted to play this game for demolishing, but after doing some demolishing missions, all I can do is build missions, and no matter how many days I skip, it's the same missions.”

- “Game was abandoned shortly after launch, many bugs remain and gameplay is just not fun or engaging.”
- “Now unfortunately, this new game starts with the 'build' part, which is now not only boring, but also confusing and even somewhat annoying from a game mechanics point of view, especially since it is often unclear what exactly the game wants you to do.”
- “All the first jobs that the game offers you are either build jobs or some other lame stuff that requires you to dig holes with an excavator -- which may sound fun, but is actually pretty boring and the gameplay mechanics are less refined than in other 'build'-focused simulators.”
grinding
12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game largely tedious and frustrating, particularly during the early stages where repetitive tasks like ground leveling and electrical wire removal dominate gameplay. While demolition jobs were enjoyable in the previous installment, the building tasks feel laborious and unengaging, leading to a lack of motivation to progress. Overall, the grinding experience detracts from the excitement players anticipated based on prior games.
- “Maybe there are some fun demolition jobs later on in the game, but I don't think that I have the patience and motivation to play through the initial tedious jobs so that the game decides to give me a wall or a toilet or something else to smash... I really have been looking forward to this game, what a waste...”
- “"Ground leveling" jobs are boring and tedious but are abundant, sometimes early on being your only option depending on a roll of the dice.”
- “I played the demo and the prologue and hoped it would be like the last game, with open world and the ability to build stuff, but it's sadly very annoying and tedious.”
