    great game! But the tracking of the headset is making the world move by its self when you standing still. The camera tracking is not good enough. but other than that, its really fun to play.

    What kind of game is it?

    Its a job simulator, the name is perfect. Was it fun? Out of all of the VR games, this is the best one I played. Are there any similar games? This is really tapping into a semi-new genre. There are other real world simulators but not quite like this. Would you play it again? Yea, I think there is some replayability. Any complaints? Its    What kind of game is it?

    Its simple, its works great but I couldn’t imagine playing this for 100+ hours.    … Expand

    demo was insanely fun so I had to buy the full game, found the full game just repeated the stuff I did in the demo, after I had completed all 4 jobs I really felt no reason to come back to this at all and honestly feel as though the 4 times I played the demo I pretty much exhausted most of the game. Also due to this game being designed for vr setups with multiple cameras the controls toodemo was insanely fun so I had to buy the full game, found the full game just repeated the stuff I did in the demo, after I had completed all 4 jobs I really felt no reason to come back to this at all and honestly feel as though the 4 times I played the demo I pretty much exhausted most of the game. Also due to this game being designed for vr setups with multiple cameras the controls too often didn't work well and a turning option would have saved me a lot of frustration.

    Pros - Fun to throw stuff around, rewarded for trying new things, good visuals, good demo for what VR is capable of

    Cons - each job is about 45 mins of enjoyment until your burnt out, vr issues due to the style of game requiring you stand exactly one distance from your camera opposed to calibrating to where you are like rec room does. overpriced.

    5/10 play the free demo a few times and save your money.    … Expand

    This game, much like Accounting + in the way that it is truly good for one play through is a hilarious entry into VR. I enjoyed the jobs although some felt long, the graphics and tongue-in-cheek narration had me rolling. Especially the mechanic job and Ramsay bot! I'd catch this game on sale, if you could and play it, if you haven't. Total play time about two hours.

    Fun game a bit pricey not much to say other than that "Get to work". People having trouble with tracking have issues with their camera placement. Get yourself a 2" Velcro strip and place 2x2" inch squares anywhere you want to set up your camera.

    Nettes Setting, aber ziemlich langweiliges Spiel, das schnell zu echter Arbeit wird. Anstatt ein richtiges Spiel daraus zu machen, wie es z.B. in in diversen Kochspielen funktioniert, muss man hier eine Sache nach der anderen abarbeiten.

    Viel schlimmer ist aber dass das Tracking der Move Controller oftmal, gerade im niedrigeren Bereich nicht sauber funktioniert.

    When you create sandbox worlds, it’s very easy to leave the player to “make their own fun”, but here the mixture of intuitive controls, player agency, and tongue-in-cheek humor makes Job Simulator a must-have. While it’s a little on the short side, Job Simulator is the easiest VR title to recommend. If you have a VR headset, this game needs to be in your library.

    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]

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