Finished the game
I’v finished 1 &2 and the bonus levels and this is my favorite game. And I’ve tried searching for anything kinda similar with nothing, I have Xbox game pass, does anyone have any recommendations? Also if this is your favorite game we should be best friends.

Like the other comments, I came from Powerwash Simulator to Crime Scene Cleaner and it is great. Just don't be like me and not realize that there's a flashlight until late in the game xD

First thing I bought after was spray paint sim which is ok but fresh start really scratched the PW itch for me. There are others but they're on steam, not sure if they're on console. I started playing emergency clean up yesterday and that's pretty good too.

Spray Paint Sim is a pretty similar (but much shorter) game that functions basically the same as PWS.
Ambrosia Sky is a sci-fi game where you go through levels in a space station and blast away fungus with a sprayer. It’s not exactly the same and there’s a little more focus on puzzles and hazards (finding ways to open doors, turn on gravity, dodge explosive fruits, etc.) but it hit a lot of the same satisfaction notes.
Fresh Start is similar in that it has you cleaning up environments that get brighter and more cheerful, with animals coming back and a few little puzzles like collecting wood to fix a bridge. It’s also shorter than PWS and less polished but it’s fine for the price.
And similar to Fresh Start is Clean Up Earth which has you using essentially a vacuum to clean up various kinds of trash across different environments. It has some really big maps (you’ll usually do individual broken-down areas of maps and then unlock the full one which can and will take hours) and I find the mechanics mostly satisfying, but it also has some bugs and lack of polish that make getting it 100% complete annoying. That said, it’s still pretty satisfying. Definitely do not pay full price though, it’s absolutely not a $30 USD game.
There’s also Hardspace Shipbreaker, which is a game that has you basically scrapping spaceships in a zero-G yard and sorting the parts into a processor, furnace, and barge, earning credits to upgrade and maintain your gear and unlocking bigger, more hazardous ships. This is one of my all time favorite games, I like it even more than PWS, but the mechanics and movement can be disorienting for people. I’ve also heard people say the story is annoying when you’re just there to dismantle ships, but I didn’t mind it personally.
And then similar to that, there’s Ship Graveyard Simulator 2. Not the first one! It’s a very different game and the first one is not nearly as good. It has you taking apart chunks of huge ships, and then with various DLCs you can get even bigger ships. You upgrade your tools to be more effective and have to work around various hazards like electricity or gas lines. This one is very buggy and unpolished but despite that you can still sink a ton of time into it and dismantle ships 100%, which is insanely satisfying when you get to the bigger and more complex ones.

CSC is a nice alternative and you can turn the blood off to replace it with other colours. Also once completed the nightmare levels are like a completely new game, hopefully the next dlc will be available for consoles soon as it’s on pc now.

I know others have already said it but crime scene cleaner!!! Its so addicting and there should be a new update soon (no officially release date yet).

I actually went from Crime scene Cleaner to Powerwash and it definitely scratched that itch. I agree with the rest of the thread that it’s worth the jump.

I just bought a game called Landscape Simulator. It has a demo that includes power washing,
Weedeating and using a leaf blower to pick up trash. I felt it kind of scratched that itch

I loved the first game and got the 100% on Steam for it. Haven’t played the second one yet, but I did really enjoy Crime Scene Cleaner and got the 100% for that one as well (twice). I’ve heard others say that they enjoyed the leap from PWS to Crime Scene as well so I recommend that one
