Hope it runs on the deck. It’s where I played the first one. It’s a game that’s great to play on the go as it’s no problem to stop playing at any point and just resume at a later stage.
Interesting. I wonder what new mechanics the sequel will have? To be honest, a graphical improvement and more types of hose attachments would probably be enough to justify a sequel - but I wonder if they’re going to do more story stuff this time around? The original game had a fairly funny story, albeit entirely text-based.
Edit: found some more info
From the discord
We’re excited to announce the next chapter for PowerWash Simulator! Introducing…
✨ PowerWash Simulator 2! ✨
New Career
PowerWash Simulator 2 will feature a full 38 level career set across Muckingham, taking you to places old and new. From Lubri City to Pumpton, and everywhere in between!
Home(base) is where the heart is
There’s no place like home, and you’ll now have a base of operations. Somewhere to relax solo, or gather the team before you venture out to tackle the grime!
Split Screen has entered the chat!
PowerWash Simulator 2 will be getting some co-op updates, including split screen & shared online progression. Sit back and unwind with your partner in grime, or jump online and play with other washers to hose down the town.
Soap-erior Washing
The soap system has also been reworked for PowerWash Simulator 2, allowing your cleaning experience to feel more satisfying than ever. Foam up any dirty surface and easily wash it away with a smooth swipe of your washer.
PowerWash Simulator 2 will be coming to Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Windows Store, PlayStation 5 | Pro & Epic Games
Even the one I enjoyed the least (mgs iv) still had several fantastic moments and would still gladly pay for full price for. I will gladly pre-order things from a fair number of devs personally
It’s an exceptional game, IF you can stomach the gameplay loop. Some might describe it as a walking simulator, a beautiful one, but a walking simulator nonetheless.
It also has some great story telling, but the gameplay loop won’t change, so if you find that too boring, it might not be a game for you.
I’m gonna be that guy and say that death stranding isnt a walking simulator by definition, walking simulators as a genre are more like visual novels meanwhile death stranding id more call a hiking simulator about the logistics of going from A to B.
I’d say death stranding is more like euro truck simulator on foot than it is stanley parable.
Other than that pretty much my thoughts on the game.
I LOVE that description, and I completely agree. What I’ve noticed though, with people that do not enjoy the game, that they’ve all labeled it as a walking simulator.
Mildly surprised to see another installment in this series after all these years, but I’m pretty excited.
For those who don’t know, Styx is a AA stealth game where you play as a goblin assassin (the titular Styx). It spawned as a spin off of another fantasy game (Of orcs and men) where you played as both the goblin and an orc warrior, which was unfortunately a bit too janky for my tastes.
The focus on stealth of the following installments really benefitted the series, imo. While they still carry a bit of janky-ness (as many AA titles do), they are nevertheless a lot of fun! The story in the first one was very good as well. I still haven’t finished the second one, so I can’t comment much on it.
The first two games are also currently discounted on Steam and GoG ($2 for the first one and $3 for the second), and I think they are very much worth that much.

Edit: Not the actual list, it’s someone else’s top 15 apparently.
I do not agree that the second is better than the first after playing one after another, but that might be because the way the store evolved made the bosses less interesting to me on the second game.
Yeah, that’s why I like it. It is a well-informed list that still communicates good information. Presumably a lot of people who would find themselves watching this video already would know that Celeste is good.
This is a better list than the actual list probably 😅 Not having hollow knight or cuphead on the actual list is pretty insane and it is much more of a “non-mainstream best indie games” list
Thanks to AAA companies (also AAAA one) being shit, we live in the golden age of indies. So many great and niche games out there. I would definitely put Obra Dinn in this list.
The main idea is that Styx is smaller than humans, so direct combat is never an option. Stealth takedowns, traps and such are the tools here. The enemies are delightfully stupid: sure, once you’ve been spotted they give you a chase and smack you about, but they also go back to their patrols if you manage to escape and hide for a bit. The usual “huh, must have been the wind” thing.
Gameplay can be a bit quicksave/quickload if that’s how you want to play it. Levels are generally huge, but end up somewhat being obstacle courses with few routes which zigzag around the direct path through them.
The games are a bit “eurojank”, sure, but imo, very enjoyable. But I am the kind of gamer who takes hours per level just so they can knock out EVERYBODY in the level, without raising alarms, just because that’s fun to me, so I might be a bit biased. :P
All in all, since you already got them, give them a whirl? The first levels tell you pretty fast if you like the gameplay or not.
