The best kind of mess!

User Rating: 7 | Viscera Cleanup Detail PC

Viscera Cleanup Detail is a game that may not immediately appeal to you. Why on Earth would I want to spend my gaming time cleaning a virtual environment? That was a thought I had when I first saw that this was a thing.

And then I played it for myself, and found I was rather engaged with the act of trying to clean an area up. There is something appealing about being able to actually see the difference you are making in an area. Whereas other games would have you complete quests to clear out a set of goblins, only to have them respawn, VCD let's you visibly see your progress through the level.

This game is a great way to waste time when you're feeling too worn out for anything else. It will not challenge you if you don't want it to. It will give you a chuckle with some of it's flavourful collectables. It lets you finish the level whenever you want, so you can choose to only clean up the guts and body parts and then leave the barrels all over the place. Or you can go 100% and get all of the barrels lined up neatly, all of the blood stains taken care of, the bullet holes welded shut and all of the casings incinerated.

It's just as fun with friends to clean up an area, especially when you decide to say "Botherance to this" and fire of the welding gun to leave scorch marks on every surface.

It can chug sometimes, and it is a repetitive game. But if something to just chill with some music/podcasts is your jam, then I highly recommend this one.
