9/10 - I love this product for what it is but it's not completely finished yet.

It's unfair to call this a 'Game' rather than a 'Simulator". As a Game, this definitely falls short. It doesn't have a huge feeling of overcoming challenge, nor does it require much skill to play. The 'Story' is short and pretty loose. This is certainly not the game to buy if you want to complete missions, unlock upgrades, and become more powerful (effective) as you go on. There is no automation, no hiring employees, and the objectives can feel fairly repetitive.

However, as a Simulator, this product is amazing and I have reaped hours of enjoyment from it so far! My partner can't fathom why I would want to play a game that feels just like working in a computer repair shop - because that's what it looks and feels like! You work on computers, diagnose issues, clean them of dust, upgrade them, and send them home. You need to manage your finances and consider what the best and/or cheapest way to complete the objective is. I understand how some people might find it tedious at times but I have a lot of fun.

And then there's the freebuild simulator. This was put together incredibly well! Controls aren't super intuitive and I had to google how to turn all the efficiency modules on like Auto-Screw and Auto-Connect cables. But where this game really shines is when I compose a rig in PCPartPicker,com and then load up the game to build it and visualise what my Build looks like!

Unfortunately the game isn't completely finished yet. For example; there's no reason to go above 2666MHz RAM as it won't affect anything (However, the game does utilise memory channels nicely!), and not every part manufacturer has signed on and not every part from every manufacturer is available. This is COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE though as I'm sure it is a MASSIVE undertaking to design a model and the functionality for every part on the market. They have done an amazing job even having the extensive library of parts that they currently have.

All-in-all, if you love building PCs and fixing problems, or even just love the idea of it and you don't have much experience in the matter, I would highly recommend this game. I'm even considering buying one of the purely-cosmetic workshop DLCs just to support the creators a bit further.

Fun game, will keep you entertained for a few dozen hours
