Vacation Simulator | PS4 Review

Much like it’s 2016 predecessor, Vacation Simulator is a great pick up and play VR title. I have always been a huge fan of the graphical style Owlchemy Labs use. It always reminds me of The Simpsons which evokes great childhood memories. Don’t confuse a cartoon art style for a lack of detail though, as that is far from the case. Each of the three vacation spots in the game as well as the hub world are in there own way some of the most visually impressive locations on PSVR.

Move tracking has also been overhauled and I am happy to report that while there are still limitations due to the hardware (PS Move sticks were initially released in 2010) you will encounter far less frustration than you likely did in Job Simulator. The locations included a beach, forest and mountain area. All three spots are unlocked from the start and house a slew of mini games for you to complete to earn memories which are added to your wristwatch.

Some games require a certain amount of memories to unlock so you need to work your way around the locations completing tasks like replicating diagrams of sand castles, cooking and delivering food, catching fish, treadmill skiing and much more. Each challenge is started by waving at a bot, which will initiate them explaining what the task involves. There really is something here for everyone and it results in some great fun.

Trophy wise this is a tougher platinum than the incredibly easy Job Simulator. There is nothing massively difficult about it, but I do find a few of the challenges, well, challenging. I had initially played on one of my sub accounts as I wasn’t sure how do-able the platinum was, but I now feel confident enough to take on the challenge in my main account.

Overall Vacation Simulator is a great mishmash of humour and fun tasks that will keep you busy for a good few hours. There is no story to keep you gripped throughout but the variation in challenges always leaves you with something to tackle and the improved tracking minimises the frustration along the way. So sack off that clichéd trip to Madrid, get the headset on and have yourself a good time!

Will play almost anything, although particularly partial to anything involving stealth and silenced pistols. Football game enthusiast. RIP PES.
