PowerWash Simulator 2
PowerWash Simulator 2, développé et publié par FuturLab sur Unity, est sorti le 23 octobre 2025 sur PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S et Nintendo Switch 2. Ce jeu de simulation indépendant propose de transformer des environnements sales en scènes propres et sereines, seul ou accompagné, avec de nouveaux lieux, du matériel amélioré et des fonctionnalités telles que le nettoyage en écran partagé. La campagne emmène le joueur à Muckingham ainsi que dans les villes de Sponge Valley, Power Falls et Lubri City, et introduit des missions à zones multiples permettant de débloquer de nouvelles surfaces à nettoyer. Le titre comprend également une base personnalisable et la présence de chatons comme compagnons de détente. Commercialisé au prix de 24,99 euros, il affiche un score Metacritic de 82 et un score OpenCritic de 84. La presse a salué une suite solide et relaxante, comme le souligne Gameliner évoquant une campagne de 38 niveaux agréables, tandis que certains joueurs regrettent une répétitivité et une durée de vie limitée par rapport au premier opus, d'autres louant au contraire un jeu très satisfaisant où le temps passe sans s'en rendre compte.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« PowerWash Simulator 2 is a strong sequel that expands on the original with a full campaign of 38 enjoyable, stress-relieving levels and some fun interactive surprises. The game adds personality by letting you run your own business, earn miniature rewards, and decorate your office, though this feature isn’t always flawless. Visuals, tools, and mechanics have all been noticeably improved, including better soap functionality and reduced reliance on ladders. Co-op play now includes partial progression and split-screen, making it a must-play for fans of the original. »
« Powerwash Simulator 2 is an easy sell to those who have never tried the original, and an even easier sell to those who loved it. Relaxing and hypnotic, you’ll lose hours to this game every time you pick up the controller, and you’ll come back time after time for more. »
« PowerWash Simulator 2 is a sequel that tweaks or improves nearly every issue from the original game and provides another zen-like simulation experience that might just make your mind wander. »
« A great sequel, though if you didn’t like the first game there’s nothing here to change your mind. Except maybe the scissor lift. »
« If you didn’t enjoy PowerWash Simulator, then PowerWash Simulator 2 is unlikely to win you over. What I find relaxing, you may find laborious. But if you’re someone who enjoys the quiet and meditative experience that the PowerWash Simulator franchise has to offer, you’ll find endless satisfaction here. With the improved missions, streamlined graphics, and various new features, FuturLab has finally perfected its original vision, offering a wonderfully fun gameplay loop that you'll struggle to tear yourself away from. »
« PowerWash Simulator 2 is a refinement of a modern comfort classic. Every addition, from the home base to the abseiling harness, feels thoughtfully designed to deepen the relaxation loop rather than distract. It’s bigger and cleaner, but still surprisingly heartfelt. If the first game helped us survive the chaos of 2022, this one feels perfectly timed to help us slow down again in 2025. »
« I have a handful of gripes about PowerWash Simulator 2, but they hardly bring down the experience. It feels like a love letter to all of the fans and the things they’ve asked for over the years, and we end up getting a really neat collection of structures to clean up beside it. If the first PowerWash Simulator was any indicator, we can likely look forward to loads of post-launch content as well. If you’re not into these games, I doubt PowerWash Simulator 2 is going to win you over. But if you hanker for more high-PSI water cleaning, this sequel provides a fantastic set of features and improvements to make it about as enjoyable as can be. »
« It's hard to find a single real flaw in PowerWash Simulator 2's shining armor. It's the perfect lo-fi game to chill out after a hard day's work. While new mechanics are sparsely used, post-launch content will continue to bring on the good times, to be sure. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Senza infamia e senza lode, un gioco tanto semplice quanto anche bello da vedere che ti porta a spengere i pensieri, rilassare la mente e pulire ogni singolo angolo e spigolo di qualsiasi cosa. In pratica un libro di mandala da colorare fatto a videogioco »
« I love this game. It's a great way to relax while listening to music or watching something. There's a satisfying feeling when the set is completely clean and doing particular things for Steam successes is cool. The only detail is that sometimes the games is a little tricky with very tiny dart parts on edges or spots difficult to reach. Other than that it's perfect. We also need games like this, not only monster, beasts and dark worlds. »
« Everything great about the first one except bigger and better. The world feels more fleshed out. »
« its too finicky about tiny little nooks and crannies, changing nozzles does not work in any rational way because pressing 1 2 or 3 only swaps between the 2 most recent options whereas mouse wheel can offer a bunch more settings. this is just not intuitive especially for a sequel, and we have decades of fps user interfaces to model a more ergonomic system. the game becomes a struggle to find that last tiny smudge of dirt that the level makes getting a good angle on impossible. its certainly addictive and can be satisfying, but it's not relaxing nor is it thoroughly playtested. most of the time it seems like they have just flipped some assets and then made the player deal with whatever aspects of them don't fit into the game, deciding that is an engaging difficulty setting. the power washer has an annoying habit of just turning off when you are too close to a surface, which makes any of these problematic little crevasses that much more frustrating. indicators to highlight dirt or tell you which parts arent fully clean yet are just not placed with care, they tend to be incredibly unclear. the majority of upgrades are 100% useless, drastically worse than the base options we start with. while it seems a lot of people enjoyed it, i just can't endorse the game because it seems like possibly the lowest effort asset flip with the highest ratings that ive ever seen. were it truly an indie title i might give it something closer to a 5, but this is a square enix game. it's just a lazy unoptimized cash grab designed to appeal to people who do not play games, and on top of this they have more paid DLC packs than i can count on both hands. as for metacritic: stop putting my cursor at the end of the review while im in the middle of typing a word, and stop forcing me to change the score and then put it back again in order to make a small edit to my review. »

« They could make more Powerwash Simulator for 50 years and I'd still never get tired of it. »
« плохая игра, трата времени, никому не советую в такое играть, компания эта должна закрыться »
« Développé par FuturLab et publié initialement par Square Enix Collective, PowerWash Simulator s’était imposé en 2022 comme une véritable expérience zen. Son concept — nettoyer à haute pression voitures, maisons ou monuments pour les rendre étincelants — séduisait par sa simplicité et son côté apaisant. Pas de stress, pas d’ennemis, juste le plaisir hypnotique de voir la saleté disparaître. Le jeu, régulièrement enrichi de collaborations surprenantes (comme Final Fantasy ou SpongeBob), a su fédérer une communauté de joueurs en quête de relaxation. Trois ans plus ****, FuturLab remet les gants — et cette fois aussi le casque d’éditeur — avec PowerWash Simulator 2, sorti le 23 octobre 2025 sur PC, PS5, Xbox Series et Switch 2.Cette suite reprend l’essence du premier tout en la perfectionnant. Si le cœur du gameplay reste inchangé — pulvériser, rincer, recommencer —, plusieurs ajouts viennent renouveler la formule : de nouveaux outils comme le nettoyeur de surface circulaire, des environnements plus vastes, un hub central personnalisable et un mode coopération amélioré avec progression partagée. Le jeu corrige aussi plusieurs frustrations du passé : plus besoin d’acheter du savon spécifique pour chaque surface, ce qui simplifie l’expérience — et ce n’est pas plus mal quand on a passé des centaines d’heures sur le premier. Autre amélioration très appréciée, la recherche du dernier petit détail à 99 % n’est plus un cauchemar, grâce à un meilleur repérage visuel des zones manquantes. C’est un vrai gain de confort. On attend déjà les futurs DLC promettant de nouveaux lieux et objets issus d’autres univers, dans la lignée des collaborations passées. Et si vous n’avez joué à aucun des deux ? Commencez sans hésiter par le 2 ! Mais si vous pouvez dénicher les deux à bon prix, via le Game Pass ou dans une collection, profitez-en : ensemble, ils forment une expérience **** bout du compte, PowerWash Simulator 2 conserve l’âme du premier, son concept central et son ambiance apaisante, tout en apportant un véritable confort de jeu et en simplifiant des mécaniques autrefois frustrantes. C’est un jeu sans réelle concurrence, une expérience vraiment unique qu’aucun autre titre n’imite aujourd’hui. Qui fait pareil ? Personne. Il faut donc le juger comme tel : un jeu à part, zen, addictif et singulier. Reste à savoir ce que FuturLab pourra proposer dans un éventuel PowerWash Simulator 3 : plus de lieux, plus d’objets à nettoyer, encore plus de confort de jeu… ou pourquoi pas des véhicules de nettoyage et un véritable scénario ? Seul l’avenir nous le dira. »
