PowerWash Simulator 2 is a strong sequel that expands on the original with a full campaign of 38 enjoyable, stress-relieving levels and some fun interactive surprises. The game adds personality by letting you run your own business, earn miniature rewards, and decorate your office, though this feature isn’t always flawless. Visuals, tools, and mechanics have all been noticeably improved, including better soap functionality and reduced reliance on ladders. Co-op play now includes partial progression and split-screen, making it a must-play for fans of the original.
I have a handful of gripes about PowerWash Simulator 2, but they hardly bring down the experience. It feels like a love letter to all of the fans and the things they’ve asked for over the years, and we end up getting a really neat collection of structures to clean up beside it. If the first PowerWash Simulator was any indicator, we can likely look forward to loads of post-launch content as well. If you’re not into these games, I doubt PowerWash Simulator 2 is going to win you over. But if you hanker for more high-PSI water cleaning, this sequel provides a fantastic set of features and improvements to make it about as enjoyable as can be.
So I have over 100 hours in the original game, loved it so much i bought it on Steam as well as having played it on Game Pass! And WOW this sequel is amazing. Classic Ding sound is back, dirtier dirt, far better soap mechanics and all new tools to mess around with! Also has 3 pettable cats. 10/10!
Personally, with PowerWash Simulator 2, I am excited about the future of the PowerWash franchise. If you look at their freshly released 2025/2026 roadmap you can be excited to see 3 paid IP DLC, 3 free Caldera Chronicle Jobs, and what they claim will be a bucket full of other planned additions coming. They are really giving us more of the game we all fell in love with, and I hope they continue to listen to their community. I highly recommend purchasing this installment if you enjoyed the first game, it will be well worth the investment. Go on, let’s go gnome hunting in PowerWash Simulator 2. If you like cozy, comforting games, it’s one of the best.
Power Washer simulator 2 builds on the first game's addictive simplicity, offering a more polished and visually appealing experience. It takes all the core mechanics and layers on larger, more complex levels that add depth without losing accessibility. Ultimately, it remains a relaxing escape and something that transcends the gaming experience to become something more: an outlet for frustration and your worries.
The result is about the most straightforward but successful sequel you could ask for. It takes the core gameplay of the first game, makes a few additions without changing anything of what people liked, and then just goes about making everything bigger and better. If you liked the first game, this is exactly the sequel you wanted, giving you more of the same while making the experience smoother in the process. You could argue that there was more of an opportunity to innovate, but I’d argue that if fresh ideas are what you’re after, PowerWash Simulator 2 isn’t the place you should be looking – unless you count the fresh smell of soapy water, of course.
PowerWash Simulator 2 takes everything good about its predecessor and makes it shinier. New gameplay, equipment, environments, coop play and a home base dynamic will delight fans of the original.
PowerWash Sim originally owed a lot of its success to the pandemic. It was an awesome hangout game at a time when everyone was just sort of... hanging out. PowerWash Sim 2 arrives in a different world than its predecessor, though the gameplay at the heart of the series is essentially timeless; it's a lot of fun even without a pandemic forcing us into taking fake jobs for fake money. Before the end of the game, I was looking to change careers, but there will surely be times in the future when I'm itching to get back to it, too. Maybe PowerWash Simulator 2 is best approached as a game where you're your own boss, working on your own schedule. If you can avoid burnout and work as a team with a few friends, it's a good gig.
Développé par FuturLab et publié initialement par Square Enix Collective, PowerWash Simulator s’était imposé en 2022 comme une véritable expérience zen. Son concept — nettoyer à haute pression voitures, maisons ou monuments pour les rendre étincelants — séduisait par sa simplicité et son côté apaisant. Pas de stress, pas d’ennemis, juste le plaisir hypnotique de voir la saleté disparaître. Le jeu, régulièrement enrichi de collaborations surprenantes (comme Final Fantasy ou SpongeBob), a su fédérer une communauté de joueurs en quête de relaxation. Trois ans plus ****, FuturLab remet les gants — et cette fois aussi le casque d’éditeur — avec PowerWash Simulator 2, sorti le 23 octobre 2025 sur PC, PS5, Xbox Series et Switch 2.Cette suite reprend l’essence du premier tout en la perfectionnant. Si le cœur du gameplay reste inchangé — pulvériser, rincer, recommencer —, plusieurs ajouts viennent renouveler la formule : de nouveaux outils comme le nettoyeur de surface circulaire, des environnements plus vastes, un hub central personnalisable et un mode coopération amélioré avec progression partagée. Le jeu corrige aussi plusieurs frustrations du passé : plus besoin d’acheter du savon spécifique pour chaque surface, ce qui simplifie l’expérience — et ce n’est pas plus mal quand on a passé des centaines d’heures sur le premier. Autre amélioration très appréciée, la recherche du dernier petit détail à 99 % n’est plus un cauchemar, grâce à un meilleur repérage visuel des zones manquantes. C’est un vrai gain de confort. On attend déjà les futurs DLC promettant de nouveaux lieux et objets issus d’autres univers, dans la lignée des collaborations passées. Et si vous n’avez joué à aucun des deux ? Commencez sans hésiter par le 2 ! Mais si vous pouvez dénicher les deux à bon prix, via le Game Pass ou dans une collection, profitez-en : ensemble, ils forment une expérience **** bout du compte, PowerWash Simulator 2 conserve l’âme du premier, son concept central et son ambiance apaisante, tout en apportant un véritable confort de jeu et en simplifiant des mécaniques autrefois frustrantes. C’est un jeu sans réelle concurrence, une expérience vraiment unique qu’aucun autre titre n’imite aujourd’hui. Qui fait pareil ? Personne. Il faut donc le juger comme tel : un jeu à part, zen, addictif et singulier. Reste à savoir ce que FuturLab pourra proposer dans un éventuel PowerWash Simulator 3 : plus de lieux, plus d’objets à nettoyer, encore plus de confort de jeu… ou pourquoi pas des véhicules de nettoyage et un véritable scénario ? Seul l’avenir nous le dira.
It's more powerwash, and that's always good. The criticism I could have are that there wasn't much gameplay evolution and that the performances are not that good for a game with nothing moving on screen. But pop a Youtube video or get some friends you want to talk to in multiplayer and enjoy a calm cart/house/barn washing activity on the side.
its too finicky about tiny little nooks and crannies, changing nozzles does not work in any rational way because pressing 1 2 or 3 only swaps between the 2 most recent options whereas mouse wheel can offer a bunch more settings. this is just not intuitive especially for a sequel, and we have decades of fps user interfaces to model a more ergonomic system. the game becomes a struggle to find that last tiny smudge of dirt that the level makes getting a good angle on impossible. its certainly addictive and can be satisfying, but it's not relaxing nor is it thoroughly playtested. most of the time it seems like they have just flipped some assets and then made the player deal with whatever aspects of them don't fit into the game, deciding that is an engaging difficulty setting. the power washer has an annoying habit of just turning off when you are too close to a surface, which makes any of these problematic little crevasses that much more frustrating. indicators to highlight dirt or tell you which parts arent fully clean yet are just not placed with care, they tend to be incredibly unclear. the majority of upgrades are 100% useless, drastically worse than the base options we start with. while it seems a lot of people enjoyed it, i just can't endorse the game because it seems like possibly the lowest effort asset flip with the highest ratings that ive ever seen. were it truly an indie title i might give it something closer to a 5, but this is a square enix game. it's just a lazy unoptimized cash grab designed to appeal to people who do not play games, and on top of this they have more paid DLC packs than i can count on both **** for metacritic: stop putting my ****** cursor at the end of the review while im in the middle of typing a word, and stop forcing me to change the score and then put it back again in order to make a small edit to my review. your platform is almost as bad as rotten tomatoes.
SummaryDust off your power washer and relax into pure feel-good fun. Blast away every last speck, smear and splatter of filth to restore Muckingham (and beyond) to gleaming glory. The jobs and water keep flowing in PowerWash Simulator 2. Play through a fresh new campaign, uncovering more of Muckingham’s mysteries. Plus, venture even further ...
