PowerWash Simulator was only as good as its co-op, in my experience. The strange satisfaction of erasing digital dirt only carried my interest so far. And eventually, this started to become Nap Simulator.

But when playing in co-op, it's a blast - the jobs move at a decent pace and it's a great place to just hang out with friends while performing monotonous chores. Unfortunately, the co-op is poorly implemented. The game limits the Campaign to a buddy system, simply making you a duplicate of the host. They likely implemented this to prevent an end-game player from carrying a newbie, which doesn't really make sense, as the end-game washers don't turn you into a power-washing God by any means.

The late levels jump the shark a bit and start to deviate from the core charm - which is getting in a rhythm and seeing that grime wash away. I'm hoping they just go bananas with it at this point and do some different things with the game engine - like arena combat or something.
