    A genius idea guaranteed to amuse, Job Simulator offers incredible short term thrills. Alas, unfulfilled potential means you'll hand in your notice quicker than is ideal. [Dec 2016, p.95]

    Despite its lack of content, Job Simulator is one of the most exciting and fun PlayStation VR experiences.

    Job Simulator is great, colorful and charming fun, turning even the most ordinary task into a creative and interesting VR experience. It does however grow to be slightly monotonous after a while with each job, and there are some problems here that weren't as apparent on the HTC Vive.

    Job Simulator is not best played on PSVR, but Owlchemy Labs still did an incredible job translating the game to PS4. They managed to retain the core of the experience which means folks are still set to have fun playing. It’s just a shame that the technology currently paired with PSVR (Move controller and single camera) do not allow for the complete fidelity of play required to truly make Job Simulator an amazing virtual reality experience.

    It might not be a groundbreaking game, but it really achieves what it wants: entertain and even amuse with some simple mechanics.

    Probably the most funny and easy experience in VR that you can show to all the non-players you know.

    Job Simulator is a really fun game that shows off 4 typical human jobs in a year 2050 setting. Fulfilling assignments is satisfying however the game is guiding you way too much to keep it interesting. But the humor keeps you attached and going.

    The silly simulation gag has long outstayed its welcome, but Job Simulator's biting writing and intuitive gameplay means that the punchline plays one last time. Owlchemy Labs' launch title won't keep you occupied like real labour, but if work was always this entertaining then we'd never pull a sickie ever again.

    Instead of a real game, Job Simulator is a collection of interactive three-dimensional spaces, probably designed to represent a "first contact" with the world of virtual reality.

    Job Simulator is a good VR experience, but not a real game sadly. Very fun for a few minutes, the game get very boring after a short time with it's limited content and no real objective.

    We found this version to be glitchy and often a little frustrating. [Issue#180, p.47]

    The premise is there and the concept is weirdly intriguing. But in the end, this is an overpriced game with short length, various PS Move tracking issues and frigidly bad humor that is just not enough to satisfy you for more than a few hours.

    I just LOVE Job Simulator but it's pretty short game. I purchased it in sale for 15$ but i would say that for 20$ it's kinda overpricedI just LOVE Job Simulator but it's pretty short game. I purchased it in sale for 15$ but i would say that for 20$ it's kinda overpriced because there's only 4 jobs and you will complete it in like 3 hours. But still a great game.… Full Review »
