Don’t faucet
If the word “simulator” inPowerWash Simulatorputs you off, like don’t let it.
Instead, you wash things with power: you power wash. You wash,powerfully.
Then once it’s in good nick, you arrive at gardens.
Joy stems from how you make the game’s spaces glisten, which encompasses many different things.
Of course, the art of cutting away grime with different powerwasher attachments lies at its core.
The 25 degree nozzle is my favourite, as it strikes a midground between coverage and strength.
Different hoses let you tackle mud from a greater distance or improve close range punch.
All of the nozzles are easily popped on using a radial menu, eliminating needless faff.
A quick button press lies between you and customising your powerwasher, too.
And aside from visual cues, progress bars let you know when you’re nearing pristine.
It’s a slick operation.
In five minutes it unironically became… everything?
Complete jobs in career mode and you’ll earn money, which can be spent on upgrading your powerwasher.
Free Play lets you replay jobs you’ve already completed, which is a nice bonus.
Here I am testing out my new powerwasher, the Urban X.
According to its stats, it’s better in every way than my old one.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to test this out, but hey, everything’s better with friends.
Despite all my gushing, the game wont be for everyone.
You might not take to what’s in the grand scheme of things a quiet, mundane job.
But issues with the game are small in comparison with the true satisfaction and serene spaces it provides.
