That’s right you can finally clean goop and muck off some of the most iconic items and locations in the Back to the Future franchise. You might think that there isn’t enough stuff worth cleaning in these movies, but you’d be surprised. Every new level brings you somewhere that makes you go “Oh yeah!” before rushing off to clean junk off of it.
In a break of tradition from the other 3 cross media DLC’s you’re not cleaning the objects in the world, but rather the props on the movie set for the trilogy. At first, this is a little disappointing, but as it goes it becomes very funny. You’ve been hired to clean everything by a PA who barely knows what the movies are about, telling you rumors they’ve heard while filming. It’s cute and endearing, and a nice twist on what’s come before.
The DLC does fall into a lot of the problems the main game and prior DLCs did, mainly some overly large levels that take a bit longer than you’d like, and intricate hard to reach machinery that feels like you can just never get clean. It’s also very short, about the length of a Back to the Future movie. You’d also hope for a little more references to the movies themselves, there’s a cute moment when you finish cleaning the Delorean, but that’s about it.
The Final Word
All in all it’s a fun way to spend a few hours, especially if you love Back to the Future and like Power Wash Simulator. Or vice versa!
