Road Builder Construction Game holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Road Builder Construction Game's written reviews are positive against 34% of Construction Simulator 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
