    So I played this on PC and gave it an 8 there because this is an oddly satisfying game and I enjoyed the creative levels and offbeat story (yep it's a thing). Obviously I enjoyed it enough to play it again on PS5. So why the lower score? I ran into performance issues. As the career mode continued there was a stuttering issue that got to the point where every 10 seconds or so it wouldSo I played this on PC and gave it an 8 there because this is an oddly satisfying game and I enjoyed the creative levels and offbeat story (yep it's a thing). Obviously I enjoyed it enough to play it again on PS5. So why the lower score? I ran into performance issues. As the career mode continued there was a stuttering issue that got to the point where every 10 seconds or so it would basically freeze a moment before continuing. I still beat career mode, but it definitely detracted from the experience.… Expand

    Powerwash Simulator does not try to hide its true nature. What might barely feel like a game is more of an expression of that part of the brain that just wants to feel some kind of satisfaction. Whether it’s watching a person peel a large part of dried glue off their hand, seeing a massive pimple being popped, or using a controller to wash off an unrealistically dirty suburban house, there’s an audience here. Those who have already played Powerwash Simulator won’t find anything particularly special about the PlayStation 5 version. Undoubtedly, there’s varying levels of reward here but if you’re looking to relax, this may just be the ticket.

    PowerWash Simulator is a relaxing game that brings out the cleanest in us. For anyone who carries their obsessive-compulsive inside, the game plunges us into a strange feeling of satisfaction when doing our job. It's a quiet game that will take us a long time to complete and that beyond that will make us feel like we're cleaning experts.

    PowerWash Simulator is a game that goes beyond its simple premise to be quite an entertaining and sometimes complex experience that can keep you hooked for hours.
