    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 startLet 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.    … Expand

    Whilst the joy of cleaning an item in PowerWash Simulator may not translate quite so well to real life (perhaps the sense of satisfaction once the job is done… but enjoying the process is easier in a virtual world), this is definitely a great game to just put on and relax to. It’s at a decent price too, so it’s a great title to add to your collection when you are stressed out with the fast paced, violent (mess making) games… fire up PowerWash Simulator and wash your cares away.

    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.

    PowerWash Simulator definitely lives up to its namesake, and while there’s something quite satisfying and calming about slowly spraying a concentrated beam of water at objects to rid them of dirt, the repetitiveness of its gameplay can’t be ignored. If you’re looking for a by-the-numbers time waster that feels a little like painting towards a set objective, then hop into your cleaning suit and equip your nozzle of choice (even better if you pair it with your favorite podcast). However, some will definitely find the power washing itself to be more of a chore than a blast, so splashing around with PowerWash Simulator is better left to anyone looking to zone out and clean to their heart’s content.
