Bum Simulator

Bum Simulator offers a wildly crazy glimpse into the world of street life. In addition to a story straight out of a sci-fi movie, you get a small open world, fun side quests, the ability to build a base, beg for money, and engage in fierce battles with members of a rival gang. On top of all that, you have your pigeon shurikens to help you out in tough situations. The combination of visuals and audio, along with the gameplay and various mechanics, gives the game a pleasant, crazy, and entertaining vibe that’s sure to amuse and help you unwind. However, this is not a simulator, as the title suggests, but rather a pleasant, entertaining arcade game designed for relaxation and fun.

Bum Simulator could have simply offered vulgarities with no real purpose, but instead include a quite demential but nevertheless interesting story to follow, and a good crafting system. The world to explore is small, the combat system isn't enough complex and technically it could be way better, but in the end the formula works.

Even though Bum Simulator is short for an open-world game, I really enjoyed my time with it. It doesn’t take itself seriously, which is refreshing in an industry where every game has to be serious.
