    This is the perfect game for clean freaks and the obsessive compulsive alike. They should probably look into using it as possible treatment for OCD and maybe even ADD patients.

They should probably look into using it as possible treatment for OCD and maybe even ADD patients. But I digress, I never thought in a million, billion, trillion years that I would play several hours of what is essentially just a cleaning simulator, but here we are in the year 2015 where people like 'PewDewPie' are popular, so I guess anything goes now. Like taking a level from 'Shadow Warrior' and having the poor janitor clean up the aftermath. Spoiler alert: it all works out for him in the end. If you manage to complete the game, that is. It's a test of will.

    Initially this game can be pretty frustrating to play. The learning curve is short, but the first ten or twenty minutes will most likely be very aggravating, at least for me they were. And this is mostly due to the fact that it's super easy to track blood literally anywhere. Oh! Don't step into those tracks of blood or you'll create new fresh tracks. Oh! Don' t smack that severed head into anything or you'll leave a brand new blood splatter all over it. Oh! Don't knock over those incredibly not sturdy disposal units or you'll reek havoc on the squeaky clean floor. Seriously, why are they so easy to spill over, even when they're full?!    … Expand

    Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior... OOOHH YOU WANNA CLEANUP SOME WANG?

    This game does something I thought nothing could ever do... It made cleaning your mess up fun.

    This game does something I thought nothing could ever do... It made cleaning your mess up fun.
    So as an employee of Zilla Corp. you are assigned to clean up the temple that was trashed in the beginning of Shadow Warrior, all the bodies, blood, and damn broken glass.
    You use your mop to clean up blood, the incinerator to burn the little bits, and the hazmat bins for the bigger stuff. Find some bloody money? Put it in the suitcase for an extra reward when you clock out... and maybe put a few priceless artifacts in there to. And why not use that dinky little device you received to make sure you didn’t miss anything? And remember, clean with honor.

    Wow was it difficult to decide if I recommend this or not. It’s a cleaning game, so there’s defiantly going to be mixed opinions, for example a friend and I LOVE these Cleanup Detail games, while two of my other friends hate them, and I don’t recommend on if I like a game or not, I recommend on if its good or bad. So there was two ways I could review this, as a good game or as a bad game. I decided I’ll do it as a good game, because I sure as hell liked it.
    This, for being a cleaning game, is amazing. Somehow it makes cleaning addicting, I spent an hour just burning stuff and another cleaning up the blood... and I was okay with that!
    The visuals, as with Shadow Warrior’s, aren’t too great, but defiantly get the job done. Dialog is amazing with Wang’s witty comments as you burn stuff and find money.

    But this game is riddled with bugs and glitches. Sometimes when picking up an object it sporadically flies through the air, or when you move the suitcase all the money gets throw across the room, and the worst, disappearing objects. After three hours of cleaning and burning, I had found all the money and was getting ready to clock out, but I bumped the suitcase, causing it to glitch out and send one of the rolls of bills flying. Luckily, I watched were it landed. Unluckily, I also watched it fall out of the map through the floor.

    OCD people will love/hate this game, and so will anybody with addictive natures. But I doubt any 'hardcore' Call of Duty players will enjoy this for more than ten minutes.

    Pros:
    Lo Wang's witty comments
    revolutionizes cleaning
    addictive gameplay
    cool and original mechanics (using incinerator, buckets spilling, etc.)

    Cons:
    it’s a cleaning game... enough said
    bugs, glitches, etc.

    It's sort of ok, fun at first but becomes tedious after you've cleaned nearly everything. It looks like you've cleaned everything, but you miss tiny bits and it's frustrating trying to find the last bits of blood left. Doesn't have any replayability. But that said I'd rather have played this game then not have played it. And even though I found it annoying I want to play more areas, butIt's sort of ok, fun at first but becomes tedious after you've cleaned nearly everything.

    A refreshing first person game. Had fun with it despite the repetitive and gory details. The graphics is okay, the music and sounds are minimalist but non-disturbing.
    Two annoyances: 1) it is too easy to kick up the containers by running into them or just having something in your hands, 2) hunt for the last patch and shell on a red and dark floor,

    You're a janitor and you go around cleaning up a mess. What more is there to say? It's relatively fun and you get it for free with the game so I can't really complain. It's not super fun but there wasn't anything bad about it either. Expect it to last 1-2 hours.

    Tried this out but got completely bored with it after about 10 minutes. Just realized it's a lot more fun to create messes in games than to clean them.

    When I first play this game i couldn't believe it...
    How can a person enjoy by cleaning all the dirty stuff around the room ?
    It's already a very boring stuff in real life, but in that case it has to be done for a real purpose when it has to be done, so, when it comes to do it just for fun i couldn't realize the original idea behind the creator's mind.

    They thought it would be nice to clean all the messy just for fun and relax ?

    But now move forward and describe the specs of this game.

    The worst and silly mistake they've done is that you CAN ONLY take an object at a time when you have to move it and place it in some waste bin.

    For example: i was cleaning up the dirty blood left in the room when suddenly i went ahead and i run across a twenty bullets on the ground !!! And i had to take them one by one !!! Is that even possible !!!

    The worthless game i ever played.

    I'm sorry but...FAIL.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun stand alone DLC for the original game.

    Viscera Cleanup Detail is all about cleaning stuff. Nothing more. You take your little mop and broom and get to work. This standalone DLC, Shadow Warrior is normally included into the base game if you bought the complete edition.

    In Shadow Warrior you clean a temple, after a brutal massacre from the main character from Shadow Warrior itself. Mutilated corpses, swords, ninja stars and broken statues await you. This DLC is alright, but the least fun of all the DLC’s for this game. This has two reasons. Firstly, everything is arranged for you and the map is small. You got two incinerators, two water bucket dispensers and two bin dispensers. Bins are already everywhere, making this a job of “fill the bins, clean the blood and clock off”. But the main reason is, that the janitor character is talking now. It is horrible, he is making the worst jokes, never shuts up and makes obnoxious sounds throughout. But because you finish this level in less then thirty minutes, it is manageable.

    The game is intended to make you angry and make your life miserable with the chances of getting limbs and more gore instead of a bucket of water or a disposal bin, the chance of creating fires on the wall while welding bullet holes and of course, knocking over your blood-soaked bucket at the slightest touch. This is part of its charm. I am sure this game has a secret algorithm build into it that whenever you kick over a bucket, something nasty is coming out of one of the dispensers afterwards, just to remind you: “You screwed up and here is your punishment”.

    The graphics in this game are fair, they are bright and colorful. The music from the boombox is good and works nice on the background while you are working your ass off. Except for the “Polka” soundtrack, that one is god awfully horrible.

    The controls and physics in this game work quite well. Sometimes the game glitches like crazy because of two objects interfering to much but overall, it feels responsive and does what you want.

    The game is easily played solo but is, like many other games a lot more fun when playing together. Especially because you can see the other players wobbling back and forth. The walk cycle of the janitor character models is hilarious.

    Still recommend this game despite its flaws!    … Expand
