  • Poly Bridge 2 is the bridge building game I am playing today! I continue to using real life engineering principles and judgement learned from my job as a real civil engineer to complete the early levels and climb the leaderboards! If you've ever wondered how a real engineer would do at Poly Bridge 2 or whether Poly Bridge 2 is realistic, then this is gameplay series for you. I try to keep things entertaining and funny whilst also teaching engineering skills and principles that can be applied to bridge designing and bridge building. Oh, and I also unlock Evel Knievel as a playable character so there's that too!!
    If you enjoy the video please give it a like and subscribe to the Real Civil Engineer channel for notifications when I post future videos! Thanks!!

      actually eggshaped is structurally the most sound and ancient and medieval architecture & engineering incorporates those formes a lot and still holds up much better than modern steel & concrete. Look at Hagia Sophia, its earthquake prove.

    I bought PolyBridge 2 after watching a bunch of the newer videos. I went back looking for these older videos for insights on how to make my first bridges cheaper (without exploits, since I'm not an architect) but Future Matt has clearly taught me well. Thanks to Future Matt's techniques my first bridges are already cheaper than these Past Matt ones. Thanks, Future Matt!
