Construction games put powerful machinery and building tools at your command as you build structures, manage job sites, and transform landscapes. Operate excavators, bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, and concrete mixers with realistic controls and physics. Bridge-building games challenge your engineering knowledge as you design structures that must support traffic using limited materials and budget - testing your creation with a loaded truck creates satisfying moments of triumph or spectacular failure. Road construction games have you paving highways and managing traffic through active work zones. Demolition games let you carefully bring down old structures to make way for new development. Skyscraper construction games challenge you to build taller and taller while managing structural integrity. City-building construction games combine individual building projects with urban planning. Many construction games feature career progression where you start with small residential projects and work your way up to massive commercial and infrastructure developments. The satisfaction of watching a building rise from foundation to completion through your efforts is the core appeal of the genre.
