But despite this being a great game that I've really enjoyed, the money part/soap limitation is pretty unbalanced and confusing in it's current state.' PowerWash Simulator,' (exactly what it sounds like) is the latest example of life's mundane tasks becoming sensational when turned into a video game. I obviously have since gone on and blasted everything manually with a 0 degree tip and gotten it all 100% clean. So now, I'm sitting on a pile of money with no real purpose as I cannot buy any more equipment or enough soap to get the job done, making the money pretty pointless. Speaking for myself, I rarely used soap in the earlier levels and have only really used it were there were large areas or tough rust & the like. Also, as a simulation, if you were going to try to restrict the use of soap, wouldn't it be more realistic/make more sense if money wasn't so easy to get? And like real life, if you blow all of your money on something early (soap on everything) and you don't have money for other things that you need later (better/more powerful equipment), then you will suffer the consequences of having to work harder (doing everything manually with your lesser equipment). I've always been a big fan of letting players play a game however they want, within the limitations of the game itself. I agree that many players will respond similarly to you 'why is this limited?' so I'm not a big fan of the current state of things, but it's easy to imagine some reasons why this was implemented.

Third, if soap is very easily acquirable, players (like the OP), may not realize that soap is optional. Second, If the soap is cheap and plentiful, then it may not feel like a meaningful boost to consider when to use. Since there's a finite amount of funds in the campaign, that would be a sad outcome. I'm not sure I love the soap system, but I can see some possible reasons for the limit.įirst, if we can spend as much money as we want on the soap, players might spend too much money on soap and cramp their ability to buy upgrades.

BTW, I ran out of metal cleaner on that level after only 2 bottles.

So, what's the point in being able to only buy a certain amount of cleaner? If you earned the money, you should be able to spend it.
