PowerWash Simulator Conquers Steam
This game has more than 95 percent positive reviews and is conquering Steam. PowerWash Simulator - an unusual idea that rworks - has turned out to be a hit.
PowerWash Simulator has emerged from its early access phase and checked into the list of of Steam's bestsellers. This FPS (first person soaker) has us use high-pressure water to clean practically everything in our path, which needs a decent refresh. Sound uninteresting and without flair? Well, it turns out that gamers beg to differ.
100% satisfaction
You'll ask why Square Enix decided to release something like PowerWash Simulator? That's something we don't quite know, but the simulator's release proved that sometimes you need a relaxing break from all the action games in your life. The game is collecting overwhelmingly positive reviews and according to SteamDB it has a good activity record - holding at around 9,000 players per day. Turns out, we didn't even realize how much we needed such a simulator.
Our task in the game is simply to clean everything - from cars to houses or entire skateparks. PowerWash Simulator offers dozens of varied, story-driven levels. You can clean both solo, as well as in co-op. "Weapons" with which we perform tasks can be customized according to our own whims. Water can gush with a larger stream, which will help clean dirty surfaces faster. The smaller the stream, the more precision and control we have. If someone needs to realize their artistic poassion, no problem. One can create various patterns or inscriptions on dirty objects.
"This is my favorite FPS"
The success PowerWash Simulator was therefore not influenced by any complex mechanics. However, cleaning is such a satisfying experience that it is even addictive, according to some players. Here are a few examples of reviews from Steam:
"This game should have a warning. I will admit that the game made me addicted. (...) I want everyone to play this game at my funeral. Praise PowerWash Simulator."
"If you have any self-preservation instinct or simply value your life, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME, YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT."
One of the highest rated reviews on Steam states that this is the kind of thing you like to do in a game, but would be too lazy to do in "real life." Another gamer states:
"This is my favorite FPS."
PowerWash Simulator is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PCs. Game Pass subscribers can play the game as part of their subscription.
