My video review with footage captured on my Xbox Series X.

Back to the Future DLC for PowerWash Simulator adds 5 levels of content. These colourful and zany stages will appease fans of both franchises. Moreover, the action can be enjoyed alone or with others online.

This cleaning simulation add-on was developed by Futurlab Limited and published by Square Enix. Furthermore, it utilises every fantastic mechanic from the base game. Consequently, if you adore this series, you will jump right in with little guidance. However, if you are new to the game, you have little to worry about, as everything is well explained.

Back to the Future DLC is nostalgic. 

I’m old enough to remember the original film release. Accordingly, the Back to the Future DLC is a nostalgic treat. Each of the 5 levels and the crazy text narration captures the essence of the film. As such, it is tough to put down.

Though there is no plot, you will enjoy everything you see, nevertheless. You must clean Doc Brown’s van, the time machine, the Holomax theatre, Hill Valley Clocktower, and Doc’s time train. Each of these stages is deceptively complex. Subsequently, cleaning every ounce of dirt is no mean feat.

On top of this, it can be a challenge to identify each weirdly labelled part. Consequently, you must pay attention and work slowly if you wish to complete this add-on. 

This level takes time to complete.
So much to clean!

Back to the Future DLC looks great. 

PowerWash Simulator has always impressed me. The clean imagery and colourful backdrops are great to look at. Thankfully, Back to the Future DLC is no different! Each of the enormous structures has immense detail. Additionally, some of the stages have Easter Eggs to discover. This was fantastic, as it added some crazy moments to the OCD action.

The audio, however, drove me to distraction. The constant whoosh of water was torturous. Sadly, unless you turn the sound off, you have to put up with it. Though this annoyed me, the sound effects were accurate and realistic. Accordingly, I begrudgingly applaud the developers. 

Clean that train.
Choo choo.

Excellent controls. 

Thanks to the masterful tutorial and incredible button layout, Back to the Future DLC has excellent controls. Moreover, a controller template is shown at the start of each stage. Subsequently, you can refresh your memory if needed. 

5 levels may not seem a lot. However, it took me around 5-6 hours to complete this alone. On top of this, you can enjoy it with friends and this enhances replay value and longevity. 

The Back to the Future DLC made me smile. 

Every element of this DLC works wonderfully. The OCD nature of the gameplay is captivating and the colourful theme is alluring. Moreover, the complexity of each structure is spectacularly frustrating. My only concern, however, is the audio. Yet, that’s a personal issue that won’t impact many of you. Accordingly, this is a great add-on and I recommend that you buy it here! Don’t let dirt and grime stop you from getting back to the future.

You can also play a version of power wash online game here.
