Discovering the Hidden Gems: Gaming Moments of 2023
Hey there, fellow gamers! We all know that sometimes life gets in the way and we miss out on playing the latest and greatest games the year they come out. But fear not, because today we’re diving into some hidden gems from the past year that are definitely worth your time. These games may not have made it onto our Game of the Year lists, but they certainly created some unforgettable gaming moments. So, let’s jump right in!
PowerWash Simulator: Unleashing Your Inner Clean Freak
If you’re like me, a responsible adult with a home to maintain, you might find it hard to justify enjoying a game like PowerWash Simulator. I mean, why spend time virtually cleaning when you could be out in the real world, taking care of your actual patio? Well, let me tell you why this game is more than just a time-waster.
Picture this: PowerWash Simulator is like an adult coloring book, but in reverse. Instead of adding color to blank pages, you’re removing grime and dirt from various objects. It’s oddly satisfying and surprisingly therapeutic. The sound of running water and the little chime that accompanies each cleaned object create a soothing ambiance that allows you to unwind and let your mind wander.
And here’s the cherry on top: PowerWash Simulator received a free DLC earlier this year, courtesy of Square Enix. This DLC lets you blast away the dirt from Croft Manor, the iconic mansion from the ’90s Tomb Raider games. Imagine power washing alongside Lara Croft herself, receiving friendly yet snobby texts from her. It’s an experience you won’t find while doing real-life chores, and it takes virtual cleaning to a whole new level. Maybe someday we’ll even get a housework app that turns cleaning into an epic adventure!
The Steam Deck: Unlocking the Power of Portability
Now, you might be wondering how I even discovered PowerWash Simulator in the first place. Well, I owe it all to the Steam Deck. This handheld gaming device became my go-to companion for aimless relaxation. I found myself playing PowerWash Simulator for hours on end while listening to podcasts or watching livestreams.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about casually power washing away grime while catching up on content you’ve been meaning to consume. It’s the perfect way to unwind and enjoy gaming on the go. The Steam Deck’s portability brought PowerWash Simulator to my attention, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
The Quest for the Game of the Year
Of course, as much as I love PowerWash Simulator, I had to put a pause on my cleaning adventures to make time for the other amazing games vying for the title of Game of the Year. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely be returning to PowerWash Simulator over the holidays. And who knows, maybe this time I’ll finally convince my Dad to give it a try. With the free DLC expanding to include not only Tomb Raider but also Final Fantasy and even a festive trip to the North Pole to pressure wash Santa’s workshop, it’s hard to resist the allure.
