    Sony seems to have let it's Playstation Store go the way of Steam, allowing any old badly or barely developed games to have a place on it. I don't believe for a single second that Sony gave this abortion of a game the once over before release, it's downright broken and calling a game is doing a disservice to all those developers that pour hours of sweat and tears in to their own.

    Fire Fighters the Simulation
    a good simulator, not a good game.
    In Fire fighters the simulation you play as the new guy... or girl... You start with the service truck and you make your way up the ranks to new vehicles by completing tasks around the open world… And it feels like youre actually doing a job.. It’s slow... you have to do the monotonous things like clean your truck when    Fire Fighters the Simulation

    In Fire fighters the simulation you play as the new guy... or girl...
    You start with the service truck and you make your way up the ranks to new vehicles by completing tasks around the open world…
    And it feels like youre actually doing a job..
    It’s slow... you have to do the monotonous things like clean your truck when its dirty, make sure youre stocked up on fuel...
    Go to areas and deal with the same hazards…
    And all of this is actually a good thing in terms of this feeling like an actual simulation…
    However the mechanics and the gameplay are no good…
    The game is ugly... it has pop in issues…
    Items like bushes are solid while you can drive right through people and cars…
    solving the issues are slow…
    when you drive into water or run out of gas your shift auto ends and you lose all of your points you racked up…
    There are no epic rescues of people or even cats going on…
    Just a bunch of pointing and spraying if youre lucky.. Otherwise you’re doing sample collecting...
    There’s also a bit of a game breaking bug here because of the weird solid issue going on…
    My truck got stuck in the map.. I couldn’t back up... theres no way to reset your car...
    I thought maybe I’ll back into the menu... and to my surprise the game didn’t autosave so I lost all of my progress and that was it for me…
    So im not even sure if backing out and going back in would’ve fixed it…
    Fire Fighters The Simulation is pretty good for feeling like you’re doing a 9-5 job…
    But there was an extreme lack of effort to turn this into an actual modern day game
    I give Fire Fighters The Simulation
    a 4.5/10    … Expand

    An awful excuse for a game, ugly, badly designed, overpriced, this is possibly the worst game on the playstation console period. DONT buy this game, dont play this game even as a joke.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just a game that developers made for people to laugh. It's like some 5 year old kids created this game A REMARKBLE TERRIBLE GAME IN THE HISTORY.......… Expand

    Resembles a game from the PS2 era, except it was made for the PS4. Graphics are worse then was is available on IOS. Controls are janky. Even as a joke game this doesn’t even perform well.

    Fun for a few minutes. The game is bland and lacking in any direction. The tutorial is not a tutorial doesn’t prepare you for anything and the training missions rarely apply to the actual missions you’re tasked with. You have to wash your truck all the time and repair it, but I’m not sure when that’s actually supposed to be done so I just do it in between calls. Apparently that drawsFun for a few minutes.

Apparently that draws criticism from the chief because “firefighters don’t pump rides” or something. That’s despite the fact that every morning he tells you to make sure the inside and out of your vehicle is in working conditions....You’re the only person working at each call btw, it makes no sense. It routinely tasks you with using equipment you’ve never been introduced to or wouldn’t recognize and they can’t even put a name over the items. Could have been interesting. I’m giving it a 2 and that is being incredibly generous imo.… Expand

    Firefighters: The Simulation is a long way from being a great game, and in the state that its in now, I wouldn’t even call it a good game. But if you can look past its flaws, you’ll find a framework for something quite fascinating. I just hope that updates, or maybe a sequel, eventually do that framework justice. I’d love to see what a truly finished version of Firefighters: The Simulation would look like.

    Firefighters – The Simulation is a terrible game in every regard. Its laughable to call this game a simulation, in fact its laughable to call this a game. I experienced no enjoyment in playing this and I doubt anyone else would either.
