Bee Simulator

Though simplistic and lacking in some variety, Bee Simulator is a great introduction to open-world games that everybody can enjoy and is also a towering celebration of Mother Nature's most vital workforce.

Living like a bee turns out to be quite enjoyable, though a two-and-a-half hour campaign, weak graphics and the underwhelming graphical execution make Bee Simulator kind of hard to recommend. Shame, cause there's definitely a lot to like here, especially with a younger audience in mind.

A game for children that could even entertain adults.

While being a bit repetitive and empty in the same time, Bee Simulator is a good way to educate the youth with an original game, playable in split-screen.

The Bee Simulator is unfortunately missing its Queen Bee and is a missed opportunity of what could have been an interesting game!

Bee Simulator is not a simulator, it is a game for those people who want to teach their children, little brothers or nephews the importance of the work of bees on our planet. We only recommend it if it is on offer, otherwise… Better let it pass.

Too bad, then, that the only thing young gamers — or anyone else, for that matter — is likely to take away from Bee Simulator is how utterly wretched its controls are. No matter how noble its goals are, they can’t overcome the fact that the most important facet of the game is absolutely terrible, and for that reason, Bee Simulator is best avoided.

Flight is far too fiddly to be much fun, and all the game's activities are extremely simple. Playing the game on Hard puts a timer on certain things and makes combat less straightforward, but the only real difficulty you'll find is in keeping your bee under control. Perhaps the best part of the game is that flora and fauna are added to a glossary as you find them, providing you with some information on each, and you can add 3D models of them to the hive if you've accrued enough Knowledge Points. As a game, Bee Simulator isn't all that enjoyable, but its heart is in the right place.
