Another pseudosimulator designed for virtual reality sets. The production takes players to the universe of the Job Simulator game - after the main character of the game has found out what work is, he can now experience a rest in a tropical resort, playing carefree with robots and preparing delicious meals.
Vacation Simulator is another pseudo-simulator developed by the independent studio Owlchemy Labs, similar to the previous work of this team, i.e. Job Simulator.
The action of Vacation Simulator takes place in a universe created for the needs of the aforementioned Job Simulator. The game takes us on a journey to 2050, when machines took over most of the responsibilities from people. After the protagonist of the latter game learned what work is, now is the time to find out what it is like to rest in a tropical resort.
In Vacation Simulator we observe the action from FPP. Due to the fact that the game requires virtual reality sets to work, we can freely look around by moving our heads, and by using motion controllers we control the hands of the protagonist.
The game consists of playing with robots (such as carefree bouncing the ball), as well as interacting with objects - for example, we can prepare a meal like a hamburger (meat must be baked on a grill beforehand) or a hot dog (which must be abundantly sprinkled with sauce).
Vacation Simulator is powered by the technology prepared for the needs of the previous work of the studio. The three-dimensional visuals of this production adopt a cartoonish style and rich colors, which fit well with the idyllic atmosphere accompanying the game.

Game Ratings for Vacation Simulator Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Jim Hargreaves
Vacation Simulator goes well beyond what we originally expected from this sequel. It cleverly expands on just about everything from the original game while bursting with the same lighthearted humour and the kind of immersive interactivity other VR devs could only dream of achieving. It's a lot cheaper than a real holiday too, and involves less time sharing sweaty metal tubes with other humans, which definitely helps.
The Digital Fix: 9 / 10 by Seb Hawden
Vacation Simulator is without a doubt an amazing follow up to Job Simulator. It brings fresh ideas to the table along with the series trademark humour. Its very fun to play and even more fun to mess around in its varied environments. If you loved the previous game you will love this. Both me and my family were glued to this game the whole time we played it, its a joy to play.
Nerdburglars: 7 / 10 by Dan Hastings
Vacation simulator does a great job as a sandbox that shows all of the cool little things you can do with VR. If you have just bought a VR headset and are looking for games to play, this one is well worth picking up. Much like the narrative, this game feels like more of an experiment than an actual game. You won’t sink a lot of hours into it, but in the 5 or 6 hours you spend playing it, you will encounter a huge amount of the cool gameplay elements that make up VR games.
