Summary

Poly Bridge 2 is a fun and surprisingly-relaxing physics-driven puzzle game where the goal is to build incredible bridges, within budget of course, and help vehicles of various shapes and sizes go from one end to another. The game comes with 4 different worlds, each containing 16, sometimes pretty challenging, levels with unique styles.

Gameplay

If you’ve played a “bridge constructor” simulation game before, you should be pretty familiar with the gameplay in Poly Bridge 2 and also the holy grail of all bridges – triangles! Even if you are not, don’t fret! Poly Bridge 2 comes with a very easy-to-understand tutorial that will teach you all the basic skills you’ll need to design and build a robust bridge.

However, that is not to say it will simply spoon-feed you everything. The game emphasizes on creativity too, and by simply taking a look at the many different bridges other players have built via the game’s Gallery section, you might just get inspired to not only complete the objective but also complete it in the most flamboyant way you know!

Each level in the game comes with a budget, and other specific requirements, such as needing to make the vehicles collect a red star or go through the bridge twice (to and fro), or allowing ships or planes to pass through. There are usually many different ways you can complete a level as seen in the Gallery section on the left side of the level completion screen, and depending on how you do, you’ll be awarded a certain amount of points. You’ll be ranked according to the points you earn on the leaderboard.

I’d also like to point out that although you can complete the objective by going over budget, your attempt won’t be recorded by the game and your points won’t be listed on the leaderboard. So, no cheating here!

Not to mention, Poly Bridge 2 is not exactly a short game. It features 4 worlds with each containing 16 levels Best yet, you can access all of these levels right from the start so if the earlier levels are child’s play for you, know that you can ramp the difficulty up quite a bit by heading over to the tougher worlds. These premade levels may already give you hours of entertainment, but there is other stuff you can do here as well, such as using its sandbox mode to create new levels or to play levels created by other players.

Community

For a game like Poly Bridge 2, it’s surprising that the developers have managed to turn what was typically a single-player experience into something so much more social. The gallery section of the game showcases the different bridge designs created by players from all over the world. The sandbox mode even lets players exhibit their creativity, creating levels for others to play and to play other players’ creations.

The game even has a competitive aspect to it via its leaderboard. This means that solving a level is sometimes not enough – you’ve got to replay the level, earn as many points as you can, and climb up that leaderboard!

Graphics/ Sound

The most striking thing about this game isn’t its cool low poly visuals, which is getting more and more mainstream every day, but it’s actually the really relaxing and pleasant tune that plays in the background as you play the game. Considering how certain levels might be frustrating to some players, the tune really helps to chill the mood, making the game so much more suitable to play after a long and tiring workday.

Conclusion

I’ve never understood why bridge construction simulators are so popular and initially, I thought the game is designed to cater to players with some engineering background. To my surprise, Poly Bridge 2 is surprisingly easy enough to ease into, thanks to its well-made tutorial, and fun to play even without any prior bridge-building knowledge. In fact, due to its realistic physics, you can learn a lot from the game about structural stability and design, all the while adhering to each level’s strict budget constraints. This is definitely a game worth buying and playing!
