Jul 27, 2022The 80 hours I spent with PowerWash Simulator were gloriously relaxing; I powered through my favorite podcasts on one screen as I powerwashed the days away on another. It’s an easy way to just unplug from life’s stresses and… you know, powerwash those worries away (along with all that muck and grime, of course). Any perceived issues are extremely minor considering how much bang you get for your buck, and that goes doubly so if you’re an achievement hunter. Make no mistake — PowerWash Simulator deserves the Overwhelmingly Positive rating it’s received on Steam, and if you’re looking for the best way to chill after a long day of work, Muckingham is a dirty stone’s throw away.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 25, 2024In co-op or challenge mode, a quiet seance during which you could listen to your favorite podcast is transformed into a more dramatic experience, adding another level of complexity to the otherwise fairly repetitive gameplay. [Issue#321]

Aug 22, 2022PowerWash Simulator is a rare example of a game that more than lives up to its expectations. If the calming loop of the gameplay gets you then you’ll easily find hours of your life disappearing along with the dirt and grime. Add in some interesting challenge modes and a story that caught me by surprise and you have a game that more than deserves your time.

Jul 20, 2022Powerwash simulator is a very pleasant game to unwind. It offers many scenarios and cooperation is a nice addition. However, it is a very big time killer.

Jul 19, 2022Power Wash Simulator is already the most satisfying game of the year. To clean cars, motorcycles, playgrounds or even the Mars Rover has never been so great. And the best thing is, we can do this together with five friends in a coop session.

Jul 26, 2022PowerWash Simulator is fun, ridiculous, and engaging but also a game that could run out of steam quickly when played too much.

Jul 13, 2022Relaxing, fun and with that pinch of madness that should never be missing, Powerwash Simulator is one of those surprise video games you never expected to love.

Jul 14, 2022PowerWash Simulator turned out to be a relaxing and engaging experience that gives its best in short and immediate missions, thanks also to a series of gadgets that further enrich the gameplay of the game. Everything becomes complicated when the cleaning activity involves levels of considerable extension, monotonous in the long run and marked by some design problems that break the Zen formula much sought after by this simulation.

Apr 17, 2023Another game focused on simulating a “satisfying” activity. If you need to relax, this game shall be your balm – and if you expect it to be boring, you’d be wrong. It really is fun! Well, for a few hours at least. In the end, it might be better to actually clean your own stuff instead of doing it on a computer.

Aug 5, 2022A simulator that delivers pure joy of cleaning by removing all inconveniences of water pressure cleaning in real life. Though it can be a boring chore for some people, but there are some people out there including myself whose being healed by this beautiful and quiet cleaning missions.

Jul 25, 2022PowerWash Simulator is suitable for some spare time after a long day at work despite the lack of water physics.

Mar 10, 2023How to rate Powerwash Simulator? If we are factual and rely on purely mechanical criteria, the game is not up to scratch. It doesn't offer any crazy gameplay, only varies its environments, and is not a technical showcase. But if you look at the game from another angle, it is certainly one of the most satisfying on the market. A fresh pellet that clearly allows us to clear our heads alone or with others. So yes, you clearly have to be a fan of this kind of UFO experience, but if you're even a little bit curious, chances are you'll fall into the high-pressure cleaning downward spiral too. And if you don't go and clean your own terrace, which is just asking for it. Yes, it's true.

May 19, 2021If FuturLab can continue adding creative levels, further flesh out the Career mode, and implement its planned multiplayer and "experimental" mechanics, PowerWash Simulator will be in a great place. As is, it's definitely good enough to recommend. Not so much "oddly satisfying" as it is "satisfying, period." [Early Access review]

Jun 5, 2021PowerWash Simulator is currently in early access (you pay a reduced premium to play a game not yet finished), but even now this is an irresistible example of so-called “playbour”, and further evidence that a shit job often makes for a sublime game. [Early Access review]

Jul 12, 2022It's not overly complex, doesn't take itself too seriously, and still has plenty of depth for those who just want to hose down a bungalow.
