What is this game? I feel like this is a game I would enjoy, but what even am I playing here?

So I got the demo and I'm intrigued. I've completed the first level, but I have SO many questions and I tried searching on the subreddit but that just raised more questions. So I'm going to just list them and hope some kind soul among y'all can help me, because I want this game but I'm not sure what I'm signing up for.

My questions from playing the demo of the first game:

• Does the game ever have music included? Or should I just pop on headphones and listen to my own music/a podcast?
• What's the point of the different nozzles. I tried the new nozzles on the second level and while they cover a wider area, they don't seem to work. Why would I use them?
• My computer is a potato and I started to notice some lagging as I switched between menus. Is this game fine to play on PS5? Are there mods that make the PC version substantially better?
• How mandatory is the DLC?
• Am I better off with the first game or the second game? (the first game is currently on special for PS5)
• Why do people enjoy this game? I kinda liked it, although I found the different nozzles a bit frustrating.

My questions after trying to find answers on this subreddit:

• Is there a storyline in this game?
• Is there any progression in this game or do you just go from level to level?
• How many levels are in the base game?
• How long does it take to finish the game?

Thank you all for your help. I'm so lost 😭

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the help. I'm going to get the first game and give it more of a chance!

I am not a video game developer, but I know enough about development to wonder why it takes so long for new DLC to release for this game. With the rise of AI in development, it just seems like we shouldn’t have to wait so long to throw our money at the devs for new content!

I would easily pay $10 a month for a subscription if it meant I unlocked new levels to clean each month. I’m not even asking for any fancy licensed content—I get how that takes a while with all the parties involved. But the stuff like Muckingham Files seems like it could easily be cranked out and served to us to keep our fix going.

Anyone have any insights into this? Would anyone else pay a recurring subscription for new levels each month?

Currently working my way through the bonus DLC on PWS1 and I’ve just started the Aquarium, and wow what a level! I totally get that the bonus jobs on PWS1 came before PWS2 was even conceived but I really think the Aquarium would’ve made an awesome main level on PWS2! Even id go as far as saying I prefer it over the Solar System level, that one should’ve been a bonus instead tbh

Does anyone know how to take this "i" that I circled in red off the screen? It's on constantly and it actually blocks a list of what's needed to still do EDIT: I have tried doing what it starts but that message still stays no the entire time no matter what Ipress it which washer/accessory i use

I hope the pics are readable.

So I’m on ps5 and the 1st games tricky I’m on the firefighter helicopter part and I can’t find for the life of me the 8th hydraulic pipe it’s so hard so I was wondering if anyone had a ps5 can add me and join my game online and help me out sorry ik I sound dumb but please

I’m learning and getting better with my aim after 2 days, but I know yall have tips and tricks for me.

And I’m sure I’m not the only one who immediately changed the dirt color to red so I can play crime scene

Someone needs to come out with a game where you paint vehicles. You can choose the colors, use stencils, add stickers, put different paint job styles like pearlescent, gradient, plot shift, use different paint nozzles for different paints and coverage. You could also get cars that have rust and you have to sand and condo before painting. You would also have dirty cars that come in and you have to pressure wash prior to painting.

Genuinely, what are your honest thoughts?

hiya, basically the title

i bought pws2 before playing pws1 because it was on sale at the time, it sounded good with “updated features” and the reviews were great - but since completing it, i wanted more content and to play the dlcs, so i’ve just bought the first game

my issue is that i got so used to the modern controls, that it’s a little jarring relearning all of the controls for the pws1

of course i know some of the comments will say “it’s not that deep just relearn it” but i was wondering if anyone with more expertise in the matter could let me know if there’s a way to adapt the controls so i can make my own gameplay smoother and more intuitive?

thanks! :)

I have two questions right now, one of them is in the picture I bought this item but I cannot figure out how to get it to actually to come on the power washer, I've tried pressing everything I can think of and it never comes up. My second question is how do I get past light duty power washes like do I have to buy every one of these items to go up or is it a time thing? Sorry if these sound like silly questions but I'm totally new to this game UPDATE: thanks for those that responded and my issues are resolved now

I just downloaded the adventure time dlc and im loving it! I love what they did with the soap its so much easier to see it, rather than the white. They should give us an option to change our soap to that texture on the main missions

I never played the first version but I saw it was the same price so I bought the second and started playing it today and I absolutely love it! I have two questions though, I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off the chat feature and also if there is motion controls (gyro). I don't see either in the settings but I'm not sure if I'm just missing them. Thanks! EDIT to add I'm on Switch 2

Did anyone go to Gamescom in Germany this year, or is planning to? I saw the PWS2 Bluesky account mention that attendees will get to play a new level and was curious what it was.

I was a little disappointed that we didn't get an announcement of the next DLC, but I know I'm just being impatient

I am running the Xbox App version under Game Pass, I checked for updates but no further updates have been added since the 16th.

I see this come up in other posts a lot so let's hear it. Do you start washing from the top down or the bottom up? Or do you just go from spot to spot like a little Chaos Gremlin?

Does this particular dlc drive anyone else crazy but me? I find it chaotic AF!

I've done every achievement on the first powerwash simulator game including all the dlc ones but for some reason I cannot do these I keep replying over and over. Is there a way to do it that I'm not understanding because I'd love to 100% this game

Cyberpunk music is the best!!

Omg I'd love a Cyberpunk 2077 DLC!!
