The first thing I noticed about Job Simulator was its graphic quality. The details of the objects themselves were relatively simple, but their rendering and lighting is what made them impressive.
The level designs are a big step up from a lot of VR games I’ve played in the past. While most VR games have you going through extremely narrow hallways to get from point A to B, Job Simulator does not subject you to this at all. In fact, finding your way around isn’t even necessary as there is no real objective besides playing around with the different items and challenges that appear before you such as microwaving an egg or sorting files into filing cabinets!
I believe that it would be interesting if future updates for this game included more options for social interactions as right now the only person you can interact with is a robot who does not really provide any sort of immersive experience.
Job Simulator is a VR game for the Oculus Quest and other VR systems. It gives you a humorous and immersive environment to complete various jobs such as being a short-order cook, an office worker filing papers, or even just cleaning up objects in your house. The exhibition that I played it at was very busy so playing multiple rounds wasn’t possible but from what I experienced, this game was one of my favorites. Although it can be fun to play by yourself, making someone else wear the headset too opens up more possibilities such as competing against each other in races or seeing who can stack up objects better. A few improvements they could make is adding a more detailed interface with instructions on how to use the different objects or adding more social interaction with other people who are going through the same events as you. However, I do believe that this game provides a very strong foundation to build on and has plenty of room for improvement in the future.
Overall, Job Simulator is an immersive game that can be enjoyed by everyone. While it may lack in certain areas when played alone when someone else wears the headset too you open up more possibilities such as social interactions or seeing who can stack items better. With that being said, if you are looking for something fun to pass the time with your friends or family I would recommend trying out Job Simulator!

In general, Job Simulator excels in its graphic quality and level design but falls flat on social interactions. I would give this game a 7/10 because I think it could be improved in a few ways.
