This may be about as niche a title as I’ve played on the Switch, and yet as someone who has assembled my own PC from scratch more than a few times, I’m happy to say that PC Building Simulator absolutely delivers the authentic goods. If you’re a build enthusiast or would like to get a taste of what being one entails, this game will not only walk you through the minutia and meticulous process of placing each component, it will also have you working with real top-notch hardware. In the Campaign you’ll take over a small PC repair business and spend your time turning things around by doing everything from simple virus removal and diagnostics to incrementally more ambitious assembly tasks. On the other hand if you have the hang of the controls, which admittedly could use better instructions as you get started or when you’re having trouble, you can go into Free Build mode and simply go nuts trying to construct the mega-rig that you could only dream of being able to afford. Control quirks and initial struggles to get used to how things operate aside, as instructive gaming goes this may be the most successful title of its broad kind I’d played on Switch.
