Quietly seize your mop bucket, choose your least squeaky cleaning soap, and convey an entire load of bin luggage, for quickly we’ll once more be known as on by the mob to wash up crime scenes earlier than cops get the proof. Serial Cleaners, introduced in the present day and coming subsequent yr, is a follow-up to 2017’s Serial Cleaner. I nonetheless just like the sound of the idea. I hope that its realisation is much less irritating this time.
An enormous blast of favor proper there.
Serial Cleaners will put us within the quiet sneakers of crime scene cleaners, people like The Wolf in Reservoir Dogs. But we’re known as in as soon as the cops are already on the scene, so making it a bit simpler to mop up blood, haul away our bodies, and so forth. This time, it’s set throughout the 90s and may have 4 totally different characters to select from on every mission, every with their very own method. Draw Distance, the devs previously know as iFun4all, say “Street smarts, brute force, cutting-edge tech skills or good old fashioned tricks of the trade: each will allow you to tackle a similar obstacle much differently.” It sounds good in concept. But so did the primary game, and in actuality was fairly irritating.
“Maybe some smart ideas just can’t survive translation into a full game, or maybe a smart idea cannot survive without equally smart design,” our former Alec (RPS in peace) stated in his Serial Cleaner review. “I think in this case it’s that Serial Cleaner’s levels need a stronger, more thought-out puzzle element rather than relying on this oxymoronic combination of randomness and repetition.”
Serial Cleaners is coming to Steam in 2021. Fingers crossed.
