While the gameplay mechanics show potential, the overall experience feels incomplete and repetitive, leaving players eager for more content and better mission design in future updates.

    • “So far only the first few missions are out, but they are quite fun; they give you the freedom to lay the wires the way you want.”
    • “Just finished all missions, I had fun and I think it has the potential.”

    • “Walking through several first missions again was kinda annoying so I just uninstalled it.”

  • gameplay
    112 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game is so buggy I can't even complete the tutorial.”
    • “Downloaded it, clicked play, start up screen took 15 mins to load, finished loading and nothing happened. I checked the task manager and the game is not responding. I had to end the task, and the display settings were completely messed up. My computer froze, and I had to shut down at the power point. After restarting, the display was still messed up and the computer froze again. I restarted a second time, and my computer began beeping at me like it was a bomb about to go off. After a third restart, I managed to open Steam and uninstall the game, and my display went back to normal, returning my computer to normal functionality.”

  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of Electrician Simulator to be tedious and frustrating, often requiring excessive time investment without meaningful progression.

  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from notable performance issues, particularly given its simplicity, and lacks sufficient graphic settings to allow players to optimize their experience.

    • “But there are some points that can get better, like optimization, more options to buy materials, buy materials inside a current job, etc. It's a good game; I hope it gets launched soon.”
    • “In all honesty, for a game this simple, it has some pretty odd performance issues. There's also a lack of graphic settings in the menu, which makes it hard to adjust the game for optimal performance.”
    • “Now as to the game itself, I think it should be optimized more.”
    • “But there are some points that can get better, like optimization, more options to buy materials, and the ability to buy materials inside a current job. It's a good game; I hope it gets launched soon.”
  • emotional
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Wholesome fun game, great free trial.”
    • “The step by step is alright (turn off the power, fix the outlet, put it back, turn the power back on, etc.), but I also noticed that I could get electrocuted when touching the PE, which should not be possible (unless there is something seriously wrong), so it's not exactly 100% accurate when it comes to that.”
