This game has been perfectly calibrated to soothe my OCD. There is something strangely satisfying in cleaning buildings and vehicles with a power washer. The single player story is weird and goofy, but the core of cleaning keeps me coming back. There's a lot of free bonus content, too, apart from the paid DLCs.

My main criticism are the upgrade system is pretty shallow and could have been left out, and the different nozzles don't play as much of a role as you'd expect. Very much recommended as a "chill out" game.

Early Access Review
DISCLAIMER: I have done some of the art used in the game.

If you're looking for a solid Solitaire game that recalls the days of endlessly playing the included Solitaire with older versions of Windows, I think you'll really enjoy Solitaire Expeditions. Its free play mode not only includes the "classic" Klondike variant many people think of as Solitaire, but dozens of others, including ones you actually have a decent chance of winning! Try Thumb and Pouch if you want to play Klondike with a relaxed set of rules--or Zendike!

The campaign ("expedition") mode is a fun way to expose yourself to new variants while racking up achievements and the game taps into that "one more time" quality by having card backs, decks and backgrounds as unlocks. Every time that progress bar advances, I feel the urge to just immediately play again. Must unlock everything!

But whether you try to unlock everything or not, the game itself is fully-featured and completely playable even in Early Access. Bugs are squashed promptly and any reasonable feature requests are considered and if possible, implemented! This is not one of those "push out a first game, leave it to gather dust" projects.

If you want a simple, gimmick-free Solitaire game with a bunch of variants to play or if you're good with just Klondike, Solitaire Expeditions is easy to recommend. My art is already in the game--I don't have to keep playing. But I do!

(The art is getting improved over time, too.)
