Crime Scene Cleaner Review (Amjara)
This game is like Powerwash Simulator but with lots of blood, collectables and hidden secrets. Did I mention the blood?
Gameplay & Features
I have played a lot of simulation games, some good ones and a lot of bad. This one deserves all the positive reviews you read. It is engaging, visually appealing, has some great dark humor and is fun.
The game settings are generous. You can turn the blood up for the full effect or tone it down in “safe” mode. You can turn off head bob (thankfully) for those of us who do experience nausea in these types of games. And you can change mouse sensitivity and field of view. There are lots of graphics settings you can tweak to suit your system. Audio controls, streamer mode, and the keyboard (not mouse) is able to be rebound.
The movement is fluid, you can run, walk, crouch and jump. The game feels polished and I experienced no crashes or game breaking bugs.
You can loot the crime scene for your own personal gain to make some cash to spend on your skill point trees. Collect evidence and dispose of the bodies and the garbage. Rearrange the furniture to make the scene look normal before leaving and make sure, using your special vision, that you’ve cleaned up all the blood and collected all the evidence. You can also replay the missions at any time.
I do not think I need to give trigger warnings for this one. I mean if dead bodies, blood and scenes of violence upset you then this game is not for you. You can tone down the blood but that is the extent.
The Visuals & Audio
Visually this game looks great for a simulator. I played with the blood fully cranked up. And it is a mess. Killers have no respect for those of us that have to come after and clean up.
Also the environments are gorgeous and I loved the mini cutscenes before each new job.
No timer…take your time
Just to confirm that the police presence and timer was taken out of the game after the demo. So you don’t have to feel rushed. The achievement for going undetected was probably added during the demo when there were those elements.
Important Tips
* Use your skill points before going into a job-you cannot spec once you've started a mission.
* Once a job is taken and you're in-map you cannot abandon it. You are stuck finishing it.
* You can replay any job you have finished fully the first time. And how often you wish, in order to find missing items or gain more skill points.
* At the end of a mission you will see secrets represented by question marks. How many question marks indicated how many hidden secrets were in the map. If they are BLUE they are complete, red means you missed one.
* Need that last globe item on the Italian Restaurant job? Look behind the office door (your welcome).
* No fall damage, you can’t die unlike all the rest of the people in the game
* Skill points are earned at the end of each job and they are generous so in just a couple jobs at the start you can start upgrading your gear and getting buffs to make you more efficient at cleaning.
⭐ For the museum (Job is called Modern Art). Need that exhibition piece (ball type) and can't find it? Oh it took me hours but I found that little s**t. Check the basketball hoops in the mirror room! Hope I saved some of you some time.
Overall Experience
I will come out and say it, I loved this game. If you love the relaxation of Powerwash and don’t mind the blood and death scenes this game will give you that same vibe. You clean, you loot, you find some pretty cool hidden secrets and you hunt collectables. 🩸
