    PowerWash Simulator is one of the best in its genre; despite this, it continually gets better. Although the PC version with a mouse and keyboard offers more precision, the Switch version takes the pressure of finishing an entire job in one sitting off players. If you’ve always been curious about PowerWash Simulator but don’t have a PC (or the time to devote several hours to a single job), the Switch version of PowerWash Simulator cleans up nicely.

    One thing that is sorely missing, however, is gyro aiming. I don’t think we can stress enough what a match made in heaven gyro would be in a game like this, but it’s made doubly disappointing by the stiffness that the standard dual analogue setup. It’s not a dealbreaker, and there’s still a roaring good time to be had here, but oh how we ached to wave our controller around and have it actually do something in-game.

    Let me preface this by saying this game is not for everyone. If you need nonstop action or lengthy cutscenes, some kind of story, characters,Let me preface this by saying this game is not for everyone. If you need nonstop action or lengthy cutscenes, some kind of story, characters, then why even look at this game? This game seems innocuous. How could it possibly be fun? Even when you play the first hour you might find yourself bored or frustrated thinking this game is overhyped. Then you get to the garden level. You start cleaning the garden, zone out, look up at the time....3 hours have passed. This game is like a time machine.
    Here are some tips to get the most out of this game.
    Put on your favorite music or an audio book.
    Upgrade the power washer whenever possible.
    You don't really ever need soap.
    Smaller nozzles remove stains better
    Look under thing to find hidden stains.
    Blast the seams of objects to find hidden dirt.
    Use the highlighter to show dirt you can't see.
    If you press start, you can see a list of everything you have to clean. By clicking one it will glow in the environment.
    This game is an unexpected masterpiece and I genuinely feel sorry for people who can't find enjoyment in this meditative experience.    … Full Review »
