This game is a simulation of the largest permanent construction site of our time (we assume that and did not research it for security reasons). For 14 years a new airport is being built in Berlin, which should have been opened already in 2012. Until today the opening has been postponed again and again. Why? Find out for yourself with this awesome and ultrarealistic game made by the biggest satire website in Germany "The Postillon"!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BER Bausimulator at 96% against POL&IS's 0%.

On price and device support there is nothing between them.
