November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. 58 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including House Flipper ($24.99, scores 75) and Builder Simulator ($19.99, scores 24).
More about PC Building Simulator
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 34 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2023 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 3,121 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 22.4 hours; clearing it takes 100, which is 4.5 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.
