PowerWash Simulator 2 Review

When starting PowerWash Simulator 2, players will only have an empty base and a handful of power washers.

One’s objective in PowerWash Simulator 2? Get to work and earn some cash.

Luckily for you, there is a filthy moving truck right outside one’s new base.

Leave it up to the player to rise up and clean it…

As its name implies, PowerWash Simulator 2 lets players use said power washer to clean.

Jobs are pretty easy – at least out of the gate. An early job had us soaping up a truck, switching to the titular power washer to finish the job. It all sounds so simple, but there is a satisfaction that keeps one coming back for more.

Covering grime with white soap and following that with the wide sprayer to clear dirt feels good – each and every time.

That being said, one does not have to use soap in PowerWash Simulator 2, but it goes a lot slower that way.

Why would you do that?!

As one cleans a section, a select bar goes down. Once the dirt is gone, players get paid.

Finish the whole job in PowerWash Simulator 2, and one nets the entire paycheck.

When you first start a job, you can just spray wherever and clean all the huge spots of dirt. Once you widdle the mud and grime down, you can then press a button to guide you to the nearest spot you have missed. Sometimes it even means going prone and crawling under a truck to get the underside of a bumper.

As it turns out, some of PowerWash Simulator 2’s jobs are massive – truly massive.

Players will be tasked with a whole building to clean, requiring scissor lifts and ladders to move around the premises.

It’s a little too much for one person, but bringing in a couple of friends in the mix for co-op will balance everything out.

That being said, those flying solo should expect a longer runtime for PowerWash Simulator 2…

As one earns cash in PowerWash Simulator 2, they’ll be able to purchase shiny and new power washing equipment, along with better nozzles, more powerful guns, and other special equipment.

Seeing a new player in PowerWash Simulator 2 use their washer – versus my level three version – was a striking comparison, so say the least.

PowerWash Simulator 2’s gameplay loop is simple: Do a job, get paid, buy upgrades (if you can), and repeat.

For those looking for the ultimate flex, PowerWash Simulator 2 also lets players spend cash on furniture for one’s base for the ultimate pad.

After clearing a job, PowerWash Simulator 2 will get players new stuff to buy and put in one’s base.

Purchasible goods run the gamut from couches, chairs, tables, lights, and other cool stuff as one progresses.

Do note that items in PowerWash Simulator 2 comes dirty, so one needs to give it a good washing before placement.

While the placement system is a little clunky in PowerWash Simulator 2, it works well enough to be enjoyable nonetheless.

Unfortunately, PowerWash Simulator 2’s scissor lifts are less than enjoyable.

One’s lift goes up and down, letting you get to higher levels – but one should be able to drive the lift for proper positioning.

In the case of PowerWash Simulator 2, one will need to pick the whole lift up and move it, resetting its height.

This, in turn, simply makes the whole process tedious.

Thankfully, PowerWash Simulator 2 lets players run and jump onto most roofs in their own way…and its bug-free to boot.

While greatly enjoyable on its own, PowerWash Simulator 2 is one of those games that is better together with friends. If you have a buddy in tow, don’t hesitate to get washing!
