For all those engineering junkies out there
Just a quick selection of some interesting videos I like to watch and games that continue with the idea.
There was a game long ago that created its own genre, it is called Pontifex and was released in 2001. The same developer later released the Bridge Construction Set and then finally the Bridge IT+ in 2013. It looks and feels like a proper simulator, albeit with somewhat outdated graphics.
PolyBridge is the continuation of that idea.
A more basic version of the game is called BridgeBuilder and is available on the Microsoft Store for Free.
In an era of Flash games, there were a lot of them floating around on the web. Now, there are some but just go with the free BridgeBuilder or more polished PolyBridge.
Now, If you like more direct destruction. I would suggest BeamNG. It in Steam Early Access since 2015 but it’s amazing. It is a full-blown physics simulator with a focus on cars and has a huge community.
