This or Poly Bridge?

I'm trying to decide on what bridge building game to get.

I got both as part of a bundle in the last Steam sale, and I'm pretty happy with both. Poly Bridge has probably got more 'depth' to it, in that you have different materials to build with and leaderboards to compete globally or against friends with, themes like "most / least expensive build", "least stressed bridge" etc.

(yes, the game plots the stress through the bridges, which is pretty cool).

I did a deliberately humorous review on the game, but in all seriousness, I like it and it's an easy going but still, quite hard to master game. Definitely a 'thinking' type of game.

EDIT - I just checked the amount of campaign levels there are, which you can play independently of each other, or in turn...there's about 60 levels all up and they not only get more difficult, there's different types of bridge (e.g. swing bridge).

I personally found the angle of using materials more challenging than the 'ropes and sticks' of Portal Bridge Constructor, but again, I liked both.

If you can get them as a bundle, do so, they're worth getting and it will be value for money (I look at that in terms of 'how many beers would this buy me and how much fun would I have from it', plus I have it forever).
