Gameplay
PowerWash Simulator 2 retains the same basic gameplay loop as the original game, with players using power washing equipment to remove dirt and grime from the surfaces of objects until they are completely cleaned. While cleaning, players can switch between different nozzles, which affect the strength and diameter of the water spray, including a new adaptable nozzle which can be manually adjusted. [1] In the original game, players could use soap to instantly clean tougher stains, though they had limited quantities available and were required to purchase refills; in the sequel, soap is no longer limited, and when applied to grime will now stay visible for players to clean off, allowing them to target and clean tougher stains more effectively. [2] Players are also to obtain a circular surface cleaner, allowing them to clean flat surfaces more effectively due to its wider radius. [3] New mission-specific tools available to players include an adjustable scissor lift for cleaning areas at different heights, and abseiling equipment for moving along walls while cleaning. [4] An added "dirt finder" feature automatically highlights areas on the map with dirt remaining when the player has nearly completed a job. [5] Multiplayer options have been expanded, including the addition of split-screen local multiplayer, and support for shared campaign progression in online multiplayer. [5]
New to the sequel is the home base, which acts as a central hub that the player returns to between power washing jobs. There, the player can customize the building's appearance, select new jobs from a large map, or interact with their pet cats. [6] [7] While the original game was set almost entirely within the fictional town of Muckingham, the sequel expands the range of locations to other cities and towns within the surrounding Caldera County, such as Lubri City and Pumpton. [4] A total of 38 jobs are available in the base game. [6] Certain jobs feature multi-stage progression, requiring players to finish cleaning available objects before the next set are revealed, such as cleaning the exterior of a restroom before the interior becomes available. [8] Completing each job adds a memento to a shelf in the office, which can be selected to replay jobs. [9] Players will earn money and PowerWash Points through gameplay, which can be spent on new power washing equipment and upgrades, new cosmetics for the power washer, and pieces of furniture which can be cleaned and arranged inside the home base.
