Review Vacation Simulator - It's a Jolly Holiday with You, Bot
Trip Ad-visor
We're sure the irony of taking a fake holiday within the confines of virtual reality isn't lost on Owlchemy Labs, a studio that revels in the absurdity of what it's making.

Rest and relaxation
There’s something tactile about virtual reality that Job Simulator tapped in to.

Stack those shelves
Shortlived it may be, but Job Simulator's still one of the best virtual reality experiences you can buy on PlayStation VR. Not only does the title take full advantage of the medium, but its tongue-in-cheek humour is on-point from start-to-finish, and it's a must-own if you happen to pick up Sony's futuristic facemask.

All work and no pay
As short-lived girl group The Saturdays once warbled, put your boots on baby and get to work. Some reviewers like to start their reviews by recycling the words of Charles Dickens; here at Push Square we prefer to borrow from the surprisingly short range of Ms. Mollie King. It's the kind of irreverence that we like to think Job...
Video Job Simulator's Some of the Dumbest Fun You'll Find on PS4
Working out
The simulator gag has gotten stale, but Job Simulator brings enough laughs to the novelty genre to land a new punchline.
