Currently I'm 10 hours into the game, so I might be wrong a bit (I'll edit later if so).

Developers are lucky I'm in a good mood.

I want thumb down this "simulator" but I surely want thumb up such 'Electrician: the Game'

What you will learn while playing Electrician Simulator:
- not to put fingers in a socket
- how to disassemble simple things like a socket, switch etc.
- what the in-house cable management is like (very roughly)
- (I'll leave this string for DLC stuff)

What you will NOT learn while playing Electrician Simulator:
- electricity physics (voltage, current, resistance, power, induction, serial/parallel connection features etc)
- how to remember parts/cables/screws position in a device you disassemble
- how to manage disassembled parts
- how to use multimeter to check capacitors, resistors, diodes, chips, circuits, solders etc.
- how to solder correctly (flux, pre-heat, temperatures etc.)
- how to find cables in walls
- how to ground a house electricity
- how not to forget to check polarity before soldering cables and powering a device
- plan your repair business (you get a part right in a moment when you click 'buy')
- (I'm sure I forgot something, I will add later)

Graphics (models, textures, lighting), sound, music are surprisingly nice. Loading times are decent. A bit of humor here and there. A stylish interiors. Met some puzzles, hmm. Soft, light and calm atmosphere overall.

Also met a few bugs, one crash so far.

It feels like developers really loved their project 'Electrician: the Game'. I would like it to have a hardcore mode so it would really teach and train things in details like simulators do.

Dang, your review tho! It's packed with so much good stuff. I could never write like that. You're incredible! 🤩👌

I, too, was hoping to learn some actual information and practices.

I may not want to actually become an electrician in real life, but who can say that learning more about how things work in your house, controller, car, etc. can't be helpful further down the line? Learning the in-and-outs (and dangers) with electricity is something I would like to do in a risk-free environment.

Yes, when the word "Simulator" is in the title, expecting some simulation is not unreasonable.
