For me it's a winding down thing. I like to play Power Wash and watch old sitcoms when I get home at night. I'm a full-time college student and between school and work, it's nice to come home, relax and do something satisfying. I actually think that's the appeal of these games- the satisfaction. At least with Power Wash and Lawn Mowing.
Not sure if you'll read this but I picked up powerwash simulator because of this reccomendation. Or at least researched it and decided I liked the idea. Idk what it is about this game. But man is it much more fun and addictive than it has any business being lol.
I even catch myself while playing it being like "why is this so cathartic" it should be mundane but even menacing tasks like an entire playground just go mellow.
My best way of describing it is its truly like painting or art. But instead of painting. You are removing grime from something already painted. Its just rewarding seeing things get clean again!
Either way. Thanks for commenting this. I truly am enjoying it. Gonna get the spongebob dlc next
