Job Simulator
SCORE: 80
Out of all of the launch PS4 VR games there were the only one that actually interested me was Job Simulator. We don’t purchase digital downloadable games. We requested a reviewable copy from the developer and from Sony. Both failed us. I let the developer know if they released Job Simulator in the physical format we would buy a copy. I saw it at a local retailer recently and spent my own money on Job Simulator. The game cost thirty dollars before all of the massive city, county, state, and federal taxes.
There are four jobs to play in Job Simulator. They are office worker, gourmet chef, store clerk, and auto mechanic. We have done videos of all of the jobs in Job Simulator. The first one took between fifteen and twenty minutes to beat, the last three take thirty minutes each. We are talking under two hours of game play time in Job Simulator. In my opinion this game should sell for no more than twenty dollars brand new.
Families will need two PS Move controllers, the PS4, PS4 Eye, and PS4 VR to play Job Simulator. The graphics look really good, and it is easy to interact in this environment. Make sure you have enough free space around you. We have bumped other people and devices while playing Job Simulator. The audio is good, and the directions are in verbal, written, and picture formats.
Here are the issues I found in Job Simulator that can offend families. The first is the crude humor. We can eat rotten food and then our character will vomit. It disperses quickly. Check our Office Workers video of Job Simulator to see what I am talking about. There is also lottery tickets being sold and scratched in Job Simulator. There are also comments by certain robot characters that could offend your family. The E10+ rating is definitely accurate.
I had a lot of fun playing Job Simulator. The experience is a bit too short for my tastes. There are hidden things in Job Simulator. I loved the credits. I had small problems here or there grabbing something. I learned I had to wait for the door to change color before starting to open it. I tried to use the trash cans while playing Job Simulator. My aim is not always accurate though.
