First even when you fail you will usually fail spectacularly. It never really becomes too frustrating though. Normally this would be kind of a frustrating experience as you will likely fail a lot. This is basically the process you must follow until you create a bridge that actually works. After addressing these issues you run another simulation where something else goes wrong. It is a nice touch that the building area kindly points out which part of the bridge failed first so you can get a general idea of which areas you should focus on. You then have to return to the drawing board to try and fix the issue that lead to your previous failure. On your first attempt at a challenge your bridge will likely not get the vehicle(s) to the right spot or in most cases will collapse spectacularly. Unless you are an engineer or an expert in these type of games you have no idea whether your first plan is going to work.
#Poly bridge trial#
Playing Poly Bridge 2 is pretty much an experience in trial and error.
If you answered yes to both though I think you will really enjoy Poly Bridge 2 just like I did. Do you like puzzle games? Do you think the idea of building a bridge sounds interesting? If you answered no to either of those questions you probably won’t like Poly Bridge 2. Just based on the gameplay description I think most players should already have a good idea of whether they will like Poly Bridge 2. You will have to build a lot of them if you want to succeed as they are the most efficient shape at distributing weight. As this game is based off of engineering/physics your friend in Poly Bridge 2 is triangles. To place a piece of road or support structure you have to click on one of these anchor points and then either click another anchor to snap them together or an empty space to create a new anchor point. To build the support structure you will use a system of anchor points to connect support pieces together or to connect them to the road. You need to build a support structure for your bridge in order to distribute the weight so the bridge doesn’t collapse. As gravity exists in Poly Bridge 2 though this is not enough. In most levels you will begin by placing the road pieces which the vehicles will drive on. All of these types of materials have different costs and strengths. These mostly involve different types of road and materials to build support beams. The game has a number of different materials that you can utilize. If it fails or you want to make improvements you can return to the build menu and quickly tweak your design.Īs for building your bridge the game utilizes an anchor point system.
Once you have finished building you can run the simulation to see if your bridge/ramp/etc gets the vehicle to its location or whether it breaks at some point. You likely are going to have to build a bridge of some sort, but ramps and other contraptions are sometimes warranted. In most cases you are given one or more vehicles that have to make their way across a gap. Like the original Poly Bridge in each level you are given a situation that you have to overcome.

Receiving the review copy for free had no impact on the content of this review or the final score.Īnyone familiar with the original Poly Bridge or bridge building games in general should already have a good idea of what to expect from Poly Bridge 2. We at Geeky Hobbies would like to thank Dry Cactus for the review copy of Poly Bridge 2 used for this review. Other than receiving a free copy of the game to review, we at Geeky Hobbies received no other compensation for this review. Despite quite a bit of trial and error and some hilarious failures along the way, Poly Bridge 2 gives you everything you could ever want for a fun and challenging bridge building puzzle game. As a fan of puzzle games in general I have always been kind of intrigued by this genre of puzzle games. While I have yet to play the original Poly Bridge I have enjoyed other games from this genre so I was really intrigued to check out Poly Bridge 2. There have been a number of different bridge building games created in the past. Basically the premise of the game was to create a bridge or other contraption that would help get vehicles across a gap. Originally released just a little under four years ago the original Poly Bridge became a pretty big hit considering that it is an engineering puzzle game.
