TRULY AMAZING GAME with great mechanics, a little upgrade progression on tools and gear to help clean more efficiently, as well as some fun challenges and pleasing "Ding!" sounds when you finish cleaning an item or area. Terrible practice however by hiding 60% of the achievements behind a DLC paywall. I shouldn't have to buy $50 more on top of the base game in order to 100% the game's 'chieves, bud... As an …

I came here to clean. I stayed because this game emotionally reprogrammed me. At first glance, PowerWash Simulator looks like a humble little “spray dirt, watch number go up” situation. You think: Oh, this will be relaxing. A background game. Something to pass the time. Wrong. This game grabs you by the hose and whispers, “You will not stop until it’s 100%.” The dopamine? Immaculate. The satisfaction of watching …

IT'S DONE!!! After 72.5 hours of spraying literally everything in sight, I have finally 100%ed the game. I genuinely love this game. It has easily become one of my favorites, and even though I've finished everything, I know I would and WILL come back to it whenever I need a relaxing, no-think game to play. There's something so satisfying about watching something go from absolutely filthy to completely clean. It's …

This game is absolutely incredible and worth every penny of the full asking price. The detail level of each job is really impressive, and it's really satisfying to clean all the various objects they put in front of you. I would give the game itself a 10/10, best in class for a simulator game, however, I really do not like that they locked half of the achievements behind paid DLC. Even though I love the game and LOVE …

PowerWash Simulator is way more satisfying than it has any right to be. There's something incredibly relaxing about blasting away dirt and watching everything shine again. The sounds, the visuals, and the sense of progress all hit perfectly. It's the ultimate chill game perfect for unwinding or zoning out after a long day.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Cass Marshall of Polygon praised the game for its casual gameplay, writing that it "[captures] the most relaxing bits of home care with none of the hassle." Jordan Devore of Destructoid also praised the game for its "robust" gameplay, but noted that slight issues were present in the game's demo, including walking on slopes and finishing the last portion of levels. Gabriel Zamora of PCMag similarly gave praise to the satisfying gameplay loop, relaxing game feel, variety of items to clean, and "terrific" graphical style and presentation but took issue with the "poorly implemented" soap system, "unnatural" water and dirt simulation, "bland" sound, and "sluggish" character movement.

Probably not healthy to play it for too long though.
