CONSTRUCTOR PLUS
VARIOUS, 2019
■ Given that Constructor Plus came out 22 years after the original game, it’s unsurprising that its high-res visuals look so much better than those of the title that it’s based on. It improves on its predecessor in other ways too, starting with an in-depth tutorial mode, narrated by the late actor John Challis – best known for playing Boycie in Only Fools And Horses. Beyond these aesthetic enhancements, Constructor Plus outdoes the gameplay of its DOS-era inspiration by incorporating 47 missions and 140 building types, which is impressive considering the limited number of each in the original. You also get to build on three alien planets.
