Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Emergency Cleanup
0:06
Company. I'm not nail mom, I am gaming.
0:09
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:17
the description below. And though it's
0:19
been a while since it's happened, thank
0:21
you to Small Room for giving me an early
0:24
access key. Let the reviewing begin.
0:28
Pros: Mini map for messes. I don't think
0:31
I really bothered to look at the mini
0:33
map all that much until I couldn't find
0:35
a certain dirty area to clean for my
0:37
100% completion. But just know,
0:40
depending on the equipment you're
0:41
currently using to clean, that's the
0:43
mess that's going to be shown on the
0:45
mini map, which means it's not going to
0:47
be completely overrun with trash
0:49
clusters of all types, even though
0:51
sometimes it looks that way given how
0:53
much throwaway garbage and glass stains
0:55
there might be around you.
0:58
Multiple ways to clean.
1:00
This isn't a game where you're just
1:02
going to go around picking up trash,
1:04
though that's the vast majority of it.
1:06
Instead, you are given various equipment
1:08
to deal with different tasks, such as
1:10
sponge for cleaning surface stains, a
1:12
vacuum, yes, that includes Roombas, and
1:16
a steam cleaner. You're cleaning a
1:18
variety of areas for different reasons,
1:20
so it's good to have different choices
1:22
for different messes.
1:24
You can sling the trash bags. Yes, you
1:27
can throw the trash bags toward the
1:29
trash can and hope you can slam dunk
1:31
them in or at least get close to it. I
1:34
love this because it means you don't
1:35
have to run from one messy area back to
1:37
the trash can and back again. You can
1:40
just toss the trash close enough to the
1:42
can and walk back over there to place
1:43
them in all at once to save a whole lot
1:49
Not a whole lot of places. You get three
1:52
places to choose to clean up whenever
1:54
you finish with a former cleanup job,
1:56
which is all well and good since you can
1:58
decide for yourself where you want to go
2:00
next. But after enough times, the places
2:03
start to repeat. And there are two
2:05
different movie theaters with slightly
2:07
different layouts, which I found a
2:08
little odd. If you're going to do
2:10
cleanup for two different places for
2:12
people to watch movies, why not make one
2:14
an indoor theater and another one like
2:16
those outdoor drive-thru theaters where
2:18
you watch a screen from your car? I'm
2:21
sure those places need a good cleaning
2:22
as well. And even if the theaters are
2:25
slightly different, just going to the
2:27
same house or the same beach after
2:28
having completed it becomes a bit dull
2:30
and loses that feel good feeling of
2:32
cleaning the environment since, you
2:34
know, you've already cleaned it before.
2:38
Payment seems kind of low. Let's take
2:40
the house that took a beating from a
2:42
house party. The email is that it's
2:44
very, very urgent because it's a
2:46
lastminute cleanup job. And even though
2:49
you'll be getting paid 400 Florence,
2:51
that equals out to around 222 USD. And
2:55
even though that still sounds pretty
2:56
good, understand that this place is a
2:59
mess. It takes a while to clean. It
3:02
takes several trash bags to clean and
3:03
uses our equipment multiple times. And
3:06
let's not forget that this is a rush
3:07
job. They need this house cleaned before
3:09
the parents come back, which would only
3:11
jack up the price even higher than it
3:13
already is. I don't know. It's a
3:16
delicate process trying to put a price
3:18
on cleaning and buying things, but some
3:20
of the places are a little crazy low for
3:22
payments. Being a rookie, I get it. But
3:25
as we clean, we should be able to get
3:26
more of a reputation and receive a
3:28
higher pay because of it. Maybe that's
3:31
something they'll implement later.
3:34
Upgrades are only available after
3:35
certain jobs. I had enough money to pay
3:38
for equipment that was past the next one
3:40
in the list, and I couldn't get it. The
3:42
shop gatekeeps the equipment and will
3:44
allow you to buy things out of order,
3:46
which is more than a little annoying.
3:48
You're telling me I have to pay for
3:50
something that's not as good as the
3:51
thing that's a lot better that I have
3:53
the money for at the moment? I don't
3:55
understand the logic of it. And that's
3:58
the end of our pros and cons review of
4:00
Emergency Cleanup Company.
4:03
Thanks for watching, everyone. And don't
4:04
get in too much trouble when you say,
4:06
"Not now, Mom. I'm gaming.
