Bee Simulator takes yet a different approach when it comes to "simulator" games. Some take the silly/comical approach (i.e. Goat Simulator), some of them the realistic approach (i.e. Euro Truck Simulator) but Bee Simulator takes a more educational approach on how important are bees and their function in the ecosystem combined with simple controls and animated characters that can talk to each other. This puts the game on a different and strange stance in terms of being a "simulator" game.

Graphics are serviceable for what the game is trying to convey, for the most part is comprised of colorful environments based in the open world (limited) park setting the game takes place. The game features a narrator and some voice acting to move the "story" along and teach the player quick facts about the importance of bees in nature either via audio and/or loading screens. Gameplay revolves in flying in the limited open world area of the game performing fetch quests, fighting sequences (via QTEs), partaking in sequence memorization mini-games, and collecting pollen. These gameplay elements are not very polished and feel very basic in how they were developed and become repetitive rather quickly.

It's hard placing a score for this game...on one hand as a proper game it doesn't offer anything special and gameplay becomes repetitive very quickly so I'd say it's probably below average. However, if we can take into account the educational aspect of the game and the easy-to-pick-up and-play controls along with the vibrant graphics and presentation, this is actually a decent 'learning' game for young ones.
