  • The game offers a fun and engaging experience for those interested in electrical work, with a mix of wiring tasks and electronics repair.
  • The graphics and sound design are decent, creating a pleasant atmosphere for gameplay.
  • The workbench repair missions are enjoyable and provide a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
  • The game is very short, with most players completing it in around 4-6 hours, leading to a lack of replayability.
  • Many mechanics are oversimplified, such as the wiring process and the lack of realistic electrical principles, which may disappoint players looking for a true simulation.
  • There are numerous bugs and issues, including problems with mission objectives not registering and inventory management frustrations.
  • story
    240 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and primarily conveyed through emails and brief client descriptions, lacking depth and engagement. Many players find the missions repetitive, often feeling like a series of fetch quests with little narrative progression, and the overall experience is marred by bugs and unclear instructions. While some missions feature amusing scenarios, the short playtime and limited variety leave players wanting more substantial content and a richer storyline.

    • “During the gameplay, I found that there was a fun story of pettiness between neighbors, and I also love that you have new people move into the houses asking why the electric is so weird from before.”
    • “My favorite missions were the story ones such as the one where you discover where the client's high electricity bill is coming from and the mission where you get revenge.”
    • “The story, if you can call it that, is limited to emails and brief client descriptions, which serve more as context than narrative.”
    • “Storytelling (whether overt or covert) is seemingly absent, and I got no sense of achievement from completing a mission beyond hoping I wouldn't have to do it again - there's no ping of victory which gives the dopamine hit from power wash, or indeed a satisfying before and after which manages to make crime scene cleaner or house flipper so much more satisfying.”
    • “I must caution when buying this game the story is very very short and there is little replayability in the long term currently.”
  • gameplay
    135 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in the electrician simulator is a mixed bag, with players appreciating its methodical task completion and satisfying problem-solving mechanics, but criticizing its lack of depth and repetitive nature. While some find the mechanics intuitive and rewarding, others note issues with controls, tutorials, and a lack of content, leading to a gameplay experience that feels both enjoyable yet limited. Overall, the game offers a relaxing simulation experience, but many players express a desire for more varied tasks and improved mechanics to enhance long-term engagement.

    • “10/10 for skillful gameplay and satisfying problem-solving!”
    • “Gameplay revolves around methodical task completion, often beginning with disassembling electrical components, inspecting them, and then performing necessary repairs or installations.”
    • “The gameplay is relaxing and rewarding, and it scratches the tinkerer's itch.”
    • “Gameplay is unrealistic; parts just float in mid-air instead of going into an inventory like PCBs.”
    • “The controls are janky and unintuitive, the tutorials are obtuse, and the gameplay is already looking to be both laborious and repetitive.”
    • “The actual gameplay is incredibly repetitive since every box is exactly the same no matter how many wires are in it.”
  • graphics
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their clean, minimalist aesthetic and pleasant detail, contributing to an immersive experience. While many users appreciate the visuals as appealing and well-optimized, some note that the graphics could benefit from further refinement and additional settings. Overall, the graphics are considered good for a simulation game, though opinions vary on their advancement and optimization.

    • “The environments themselves are rendered with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that complements the utilitarian tone of the game.”
    • “The graphics are clean, detailed, and pleasant to look at, helping to make the small environments feel believable and immersive.”
    • “Awesome game with great story and modern graphics.”
    • “The graphics and interface of Electrician Simulator are functional, if not groundbreaking.”
    • “This sort of thing should be very simple like the graphics which are straight out of the 1990s.”
    • “Lack of graphics settings, an actual flaw of the engine this game runs on.”
  • grinding
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game has been widely criticized for being tedious and repetitive, with many players feeling that the tasks become monotonous and drag on unnecessarily. While some find the detailed workbench missions enjoyable, the overall gameplay loop is often described as lacking variety and depth, leading to frustration with the grinding required to progress. Despite its potential, the game is seen as overly reliant on repetitive tasks, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “I imagine the only other option in that case is to resort to redoing easier jobs you've already completed before, but that's effectively a form of grinding, which is not something you should be subjected to in a game like this.”
    • “There is little to do with electricity and more so just tediously placing, connecting, and disassembling/rearranging switches, lights, and outlets in a very linear and predictable manner.”
    • “Everything in the trailer here on Steam is sped way up; nothing is that fast. Every little screw has a 15-second delay before you can do anything else, the game drags everything out by making everything super slow and tedious.”
  • humor
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its unexpected humor, with players enjoying quirky missions, amusing client interactions, and humorous environments that enhance the gameplay experience. While some found the humor charming and entertaining, others noted that it occasionally detracted from the simulation aspect. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with its core mechanics, making it a fun and engaging experience for players.

    • “I bought this game just because my friend wanted me to do so... this game was really funny, which I did not expect from a game just about doing electrical work.”
    • “Each assignment takes you to a different location, ranging from homes to garages, and sometimes quirky or humorous environments that break up the routine.”
    • “The creators clearly have a sense of humor, which also made the game enjoyable (don't worry, no spoilers here).”
  • music
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as minimal and repetitive, often becoming annoying over time. While some players appreciate its ambient quality for setting a casual mood, many recommend muting it in favor of personal playlists due to its lack of variety and engaging composition. Overall, the music fails to enhance the gameplay experience for a significant number of users.

    • “The ambient music that plays in the background helps set the casual mood for electrician simulator.”
    • “Graphics (models, textures, lighting), sound, music are surprisingly nice.”
    • “I was looking for a game I could listen to music to and play.”
    • “The controls are janky and unintuitive, the tutorials are obtuse, the gameplay is already looking to be both laborious and repetitive, the tone is patronizing and the music insipid.”
    • “The music is absolutely atrocious.”
    • “The music will drive you to the edge of madness.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, including issues with cable interactions and game freezes. While some players find it playable, many describe it as feeling unfinished and lacking proper troubleshooting features. Overall, the experience is marred by technical glitches that detract from the gameplay.

    • “Feels really buggy and unfinished.”
    • “There is an error where, when I am unplugging cables, for some reason the cables disappear and they register as still plugged in, and after opening my tab menu my game freezes up and starts overlapping itself.”
    • “The engine is a little buggy when dragging cords, and some camera angles are horrible.”
  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while many players report it as stable and well-optimized, some experience significant performance issues, particularly with high CPU and GPU temperatures. Despite these concerns, several users note that the graphics are impressive and that the game runs well on mid-range systems, with occasional frame rate drops during specific actions. Overall, the game is generally considered better optimized than many other titles in its genre.

    • “Technically, the game is mostly stable and well-optimized.”
    • “It is a pretty and well-optimized game, and there are enough quirky little details to make this a charming experience!”
    • “It has better optimization than other Unity games.”
    • “Same as for the demo, first shock, this game is horribly optimized. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with an NVIDIA 3060 Ti, 32GB RAM. It is not possible that this game will take my CPU to 80 degrees Celsius and GPU to 70 degrees Celsius. Like, come on... I'm playing Warhammer Space Marine II and I don't even come close to reaching those numbers.”
    • “Performance: as expected (a mid-range PC would do well, sometimes the FPS drops when you activate the electrical deflectors, measurements, and at the same time turn on the flashlight).”
    • “Graphic very nice but not optimized though. Sometimes I get some mysterious lag for some reason and it's not my PC.”
  • replayability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, opinions on replayability are mixed; while some players appreciate features like an advertisement system that offers infinite replayability, others criticize the game for its short story and repetitive tasks, leading to limited long-term replay value. Recent updates have improved replayability by adding new jobs, but some users still feel the game lacks sufficient content for sustained engagement.

    • “The advertisement system allows for infinite replayability.”
    • “A good game that has a lot of replayability.”
    • “Edit: since then they've added more replayability and new jobs.”
    • “I managed to complete it in just two nights and there really isn’t any replay value since the tasks are the exact same with the same steps to complete.”
    • “I must caution when buying this game; the story is very short and there is little replayability in the long term currently.”
    • “I would recommend not to purchase until the game has much longer game time or even some replayability.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game evokes a mix of frustration and urgency, as players feel compelled to rush through tasks due to time constraints. Additionally, the experience of interacting with the environment, such as searching for objects, creates a sense of immersion that can lead to feelings of productivity, despite the inaccuracies in gameplay mechanics. Overall, players express a blend of amusement and disappointment in their emotional journey through the game.

    • “Although it's probably not very accurate, it made me feel like I was doing something productive.”
    • “The time bonus made me feel like I have to rush things.”
    • “Having to look in cabinets and drawers for objects made me feel more like a burglar than an electrician.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is generally described as soft, light, and calm, effectively supporting a focused work environment. However, some users find the sound of the soldering iron to be excessively loud and disruptive, detracting from the otherwise tranquil ambiance. The minimal music complements the atmosphere, remaining unobtrusive.

    • “Atmosphere: very good”
    • “Soft, light and calm atmosphere overall.”
    • “The music is minimal and often barely noticeable, which suits the atmosphere of quiet, focused work.”
    • “Too loud; the soldering iron is too loud and breaks the calm atmosphere. It hurts my ears—it's the only sound that's too loud and too raspy!”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game relies heavily on advertisements, which some players feel enhances replayability, while others criticize it as a cash grab that fails to accurately reflect the gameplay experience of being an electrician. Players are encouraged to maximize their advertisement work level to fully benefit from the system.

    • “Cash grab game that doesn't even come close to representing what you actually do as an electrician.”
    • “Make sure to max out your advertisement work level.”
