Critiques & Mini-Views
PowerWash Simulator SpongeBob SquarePants Particular Pack ($7.99)
After reviewing and loving each PowerWash Simulator and the Midgar Particular Pack DLC, I used to be curious to see what Futurlab would carry subsequent to PowerWash Simulator. I didn’t anticipate a collaboration between PowerWash Simulator and SpongeBob SquarePants, however right here we’re. As the sport’s first paid DLC following two beneficiant free DLC packs, I needed to see what Futurlab had in retailer for me as a fan of the sport and SpongeBob Squarepants.
PowerWash Simulator SpongeBob SquarePants Particular Pack has a number of new places and fanservice from the world of SpongeBob SquarePants included. It sadly doesn’t carry a complete set of sound results and music from the model, however feels just like the Midgar DLC did, however for SpongeBob SquarePants. On paper that isn’t a nasty factor, however that is the sport’s first paid DLC pack, so I hoped to see extra on that entrance.
The degrees themselves are wonderful together with the automobiles, however I want the builders had included the insides of sure places right here. Not like prior DLC packs, the PowerWash Simulator SpongeBob SquarePants Particular Pack additionally consists of new achievements on supported platforms if that’s one thing you care about.
My overview of PowerWash Simulator SpongeBob SquarePants Particular Pack took a bit longer as a result of I used to be on vacation final week, however it’s the solely sport I performed on my Change whereas on vacation so that ought to let you know how a lot I prefer it as a fan of each properties. In the event you aren’t a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, you possibly can nonetheless discover some enjoyment right here with new ranges, however it actually is for followers. A variety of care went into it, and I can’t await the following DLC pack.
In the event you’re a fan of each PowerWash Simulator and SpongeBob SquarePants, the PowerWash Simulator SpongeBob SquarePants Particular Pack is a no brainer buy. It’s a bit costly for what it gives, however I’ve loved my time with it on Change and Steam Deck already. I’m now enjoying it on PS5 as effectively. In the event you, like me, get pleasure from PowerWash Simulator and wish to preserve supporting it whereas getting new ranges, this DLC is price grabbing. It’s only a disgrace that gyro assist is but to be added into the Nintendo Change and PS5 variations of the sport. -Mikhail Madnani
SwitchArcade Rating: 4.5/5
New Releases
Extremely Goodness ($4.99)
Tough Friday, all issues thought of. Anyway, right here’s Ratalaika with a port of Extremely Goodness, a top-down shooter with a weird theme. We have already got the second on the Change, so now you possibly can see how the saga started. If, , that’s a factor you care about. I think about most don’t. It’ll scratch your twin-stick shooter itch immediately with out breaking your financial institution, a minimum of.
Puzzle by Nikoli S Hitori ($4.99)
One other one in all these fascinating logic puzzlers from Hamster. As regular with these, it’s most likely simpler so that you can be taught the sport by enjoying it than by me attempting to clarify it. Basically it’s one other a kind of video games the place you need to fill in cells in response to specific guidelines, and whereas it takes a short time to click on, as soon as it does? You’ll have a good time working via its puzzles.
Hollenburg ‘Hell Citadel’ ($14.99)
It is a pretty clear homage to Castlevania, and if nothing else it actually appears to be an earnest effort. I’m unsure if it’s going to current an incredible worth for fifteen bucks, because the competitors for side-scrollers is sort of fierce on the Change. Could be price maintaining a tally of for a deep sale, although.
Summer time Get together Time ($9.50)
One other SAT-BOX minigame assortment supposed for group consumptions. As much as six gamers can get in on it regionally, and as much as 4 on-line. There are a handful of video games to play right here, together with racing, river rafting, swinging from vines, and so forth. I’m probably not positive what sort of theme it’s aiming for right here. Tropical island enjoyable? Let’s go together with that. In the event you just like the look of it, there’s a demo obtainable on the eShop you could strive.
Eroblast: Waifu Courting Sim ($14.99)
It’s bizarre that there are a handful of match-3 puzzler/lewd courting sim hybrids, however I assume if there’s an viewers then there might be a present. The stats that matter: 2 hundred puzzle levels to play, 13 girls to romance, thirty-plus routes for every, and greater than seventy risque footage to unlock. I’m positive you don’t want me to let you know if that is your type of factor or not. In the event you like what you get right here, there’s extra DLC that provides extra content material to the feedbag.

Race Boat Simulator – 3D Stunt Racing Driving Ship Ocean Motion Fly ($12.99)
Subway Simulator – Underground Practice Journey Station Final Driving Video games ($11.99)

Gross sales
(North American eShop, US Costs)
Some actually nice costs on Sq. Enix video games in the mean time. I’ve included what I felt had been the most effective ones, however there’s extra there if you happen to care to look. EA can also be doing a sale, and if you wish to seize the final FIFA sport on the Change, now could be the second. As for the remainder of it, Cassette Beasts and Mr. Solar’s Hatbox are having fun with their first post-launch gross sales. Might be price . Over within the outbox, Metropolis Connection’s newest sale is wrapping up. Now’s your probability to seize some Saturn video games, laggy shooters, and even some laggy Saturn shooters!
