Another pseudosimulator designed for virtual reality sets. The production takes players to the universe of the Job Simulator game - after the main character of the game has found out what work is, he can now experience a rest in a tropical resort, playing carefree with robots and preparing delicious meals.
Vacation Simulator is another pseudo-simulator developed by the independent studio Owlchemy Labs, similar to the previous work of this team, i.e. Job Simulator.
The action of Vacation Simulator takes place in a universe created for the needs of the aforementioned Job Simulator. The game takes us on a journey to 2050, when machines took over most of the responsibilities from people. After the protagonist of the latter game learned what work is, now is the time to find out what it is like to rest in a tropical resort.
In Vacation Simulator we observe the action from FPP. Due to the fact that the game requires virtual reality sets to work, we can freely look around by moving our heads, and by using motion controllers we control the hands of the protagonist.
The game consists of playing with robots (such as carefree bouncing the ball), as well as interacting with objects - for example, we can prepare a meal like a hamburger (meat must be baked on a grill beforehand) or a hot dog (which must be abundantly sprinkled with sauce).
Vacation Simulator is powered by the technology prepared for the needs of the previous work of the studio. The three-dimensional visuals of this production adopt a cartoonish style and rich colors, which fit well with the idyllic atmosphere accompanying the game.

Game Ratings for Vacation Simulator Video Game.
GamingTrend: 90 / 100 by Ron Burke
I have a lot of VR games because I think they transcend barriers for non-gamers, and they are also a whole lot of fun. Job Simulator was a great way to break in new players, but I have to say that Vacation Simulator will be supplanting (or at least supplementing) their previous effort. While some of the minigames won't keep you coming back, there's enough here to keep you busy for quite a while. Owlchemy Labs has spent four years hard at work, but I'm gonna enjoy bit of my Vacation Simulation.
NookGaming: 6 / 10 by Thomas Knight
I did enjoy Vacation Simulator, but I will note that it is fairly expensive for the amount of time some people may get out of it. If this will be your go-to game for the kids and introducing people to VR, it’s a good investment. If you just want to play it through once yourself, it could be an idea to wait for a sale. It does feel like a pity to say that because of the quality of the game, but you can see most content within two hours.
Nerdburglars: 7 / 10 by Dan Hastings
Vacation simulator does a great job as a sandbox that shows all of the cool little things you can do with VR. If you have just bought a VR headset and are looking for games to play, this one is well worth picking up. Much like the narrative, this game feels like more of an experiment than an actual game. You won’t sink a lot of hours into it, but in the 5 or 6 hours you spend playing it, you will encounter a huge amount of the cool gameplay elements that make up VR games.
