Some games hide a mystery in the title, and in fact, pull the thread of every story and beg to discover the secret behind those words. PowerWash Simulator is not like this. Its direct name indicates that’s exactly what you think. This is your chance to hire your fantasy (?) As a water gun and move from work to work until all the dirt is blown away.Such careers are not very diverse and monotonous can Although subdued, the basically simple yet satisfying style of gameplay provides a great way to relax at numerous generous sized levels. Yes, it only simulates the usual mundane act of lowering the patio once a year, but PowerWash Simulator subtly gamifies chores and pushes the most annoying parts under the rug. , Higher than what can easily get boring. Anyway, don’t be too philosophical about it. This is my review. Here we are analyzing a game about washing shoes that are 30 feet high.
There is some cure for PowerWash Simulator. Probably because at the time of writing, the weather was 39 ° C (102 ° F) and it was hot and humid, and I couldn’t move without sweating and clouding my view, but the large amount of water sprayed on the screen drunk the border. It’s kind of like visual white noise, and I spend hours on this meditative sim and just spending hours clearing hell from what’s in front of me. Instead of shouting water on the wall, it removes all the irritation of real power washing, such as pulling bulky machines or tripping extension cables. The complete lack of music and voice acting only adds to the calm, with only the sound of water breaking the silence. Aside from the “din” noise that sounds every time an object is completely clean, it adds a real Pavlovian edge to the procedure.
Each job starts in the same way. A scene similar to the aftermath of the Splatoon round won by the brown team faces you. Your mission is to clean up the mess and restore it to its original clean state. If you’re a little insensitive, you can also call it a first-person shooter. When aliens and military personnel are replaced by inanimate plastic flowerpots and delicate wooden trellis. In a surprisingly long career mode of over 20 hours, you can start a small business on request, clean buildings and vehicles, and then reinvest your profits into a better power washer and associated attachments and soaps. You need to invest.
Repeat the same routine regardless of the task at hand, equipped with the widest angle of the five available nozzle types to blow off large dirt on larger surfaces, then dial the more aggressive and narrow nozzles. , Handles finer details. A burst of more concentrated water is needed to remove very stubborn substances such as lichens, moss and rust. You need to change the angle to clean the gank from various grooves, corners and gaps, but that’s it. It’s really a definition of rinsing and repetitive work – less challenging but dependent on sound methodologies. But it’s a very satisfying loop. The stunning 100-square-foot roof gradually cleans up and makes you proud. That is, not before leaving a second-rate Jackson Pollock and childlike message in the soil.
Most of the levels are extensive and it often takes an hour or more to scrub to 100% and get a 5 star rating worth it. And with a total of 38 jobs, there’s a fair amount to keep you busy. The more stars you collect in Career mode, the more complex the unlocking level will be. Earning both Stars and Cash is a way for you to make progress and allow you to sprinkle your income on better power washer devices to make your future work much easier. increase. Throughout the campaign, progress may be limited to a few options, but you can feel the specific improvements in each tool-increasing the power of each, more expensive, power washer.
That said, it doesn’t require much experimentation. Immediately, he decided to choose a loadout with a long extension that maximizes the range of the washer and a second widest angle nozzle that provides a satisfactory balance of pressure and area. Of the effect. It was so much fun that I made the phrase “25 degree nozzle OP!” Vague. Like I was in the rampant Call of Duty kill streak when I hose the sides of the fire station. I must have looked like an idiot.
You can apply the cleaning solution one for each related surface such as metal, wood, etc., but due to the considerable shortage of supply, it should be used wisely to maximize its effect. They make some challenges a bit simpler, but in reality I almost ignored them and found it more fun because of the satisfying nature of the blast and the basic level of skill it encourages. Instead, I preferred a sharp burst of water. You can move tools such as ladders and scaffolding within each area to reach high soil and gain new blasting angles. This adds a light puzzle element, but you won’t get lost in difficult areas.
Very rarely, the level itself puts something different into the mix to keep things reasonably fresh. Examples include mansions that test sniper skills from behind a wall with a gate, and carousels that need to be turned on and off to scrape dirt off every corner. However, these challenges are negligible and require a little more brain power than usual. In fact, PowerWash Simulator isn’t a game to worry about spikes in difficulty or the introduction of complex mechanics, but it does give you a relaxed and casual atmosphere at home. In this effort, it often found sweet spots that prevented me from coming back more.
However, trying to find the smallest spots in a very large area is often frustrating. I’ve noticed that I’m looking for dirt stains on the endless floors of a skatepark with a highlight tool, much like using UV lights to find more unpleasant stains on the scene of a crime. But the only crimes committed here are a bit less exciting, as they are a relentless level of dirt from the owners of these properties.

Maps range from mundane to fantastic, with riffs from fairy-tale houses, properly dusted Mars rover, and statues of ancient civilizations. The plots you track are very loose, but PowerWash Simulator is clearly not too worried about telling a great story. It’s about cleaning a set of buildings and vehicles that are as diverse and interesting as possible. I don’t take it very seriously. If so, frankly, it’s strange. The text received from the client and its strange message create a really interesting moment. There is no voice blocking the silence.
In addition to single-player campaigns, you have the option to play the entire career mode with your friends in co-op, or play unlocked jobs in free play with up to 5 other players. There is no competitive option other than competing with time to clean like the wind in challenge mode, but while unknowingly hose a carousel mysteriously covered in mud worth the field. , Serves as a relaxing space to treat as a chat room.
