Excusing my motion sickness and the chase segments I did like it a little bit.

However it is a good children’s game (as long as they aren’t prone to motion sickness), and most would enjoy the post game free roaming. My opinion is, that, given the graphical quality and length, I do think it’s overpriced. There are a few side quests that you can’t do until you’ve beaten the game, some challenges and it would take a while to unlock everything. The story mode took me a couple of hours. I’m also fairly sure bees can’t talk to squirrels but who knows really? The educational aspect is a little under played, and some things are inaccurate for the sake of gameplay (especially the size of the bees). Writing in this game is pretty cute with some silly side quests and pop culture references. Either way you’ll definitely need to adjust the stick sensitivity. The camera swaying in battles and while dancing can be quite atrocious. Playing in handheld alleviated it enough that I could get through the game but I still needed breaks. As I managed to get motion sick during the tutorial. If you occasionally or often get motion sickness when playing games then I cannot recommend this. The environments that you traverse through are nicely built including a zoo, amusement park and a small lake. However it does look mostly the same in handheld. Seeming like they’re a from a couple of console generations ago. Bee Simulator’s actual graphics are a bit poor. There are motion like animated cutscenes and some beautiful loading screen illustrations with bee facts.

The game features full voice acting which is something I didn’t expect, but definitely appreciated. Here you can compete against each other in the different mini games.

There is a separate split screen mode for two players in enclosed maps. Feats can be achieved through various means such as story progression and balloon popping. Unlocking them gives you 3D models of the animals and some information in the glossary. In the hive there is a statue hall which you can also purchase with your knowledge points. With different skins based on bee species, little hats (including a Cowbee hat!) and different trails. These can be spent on a few things including customisation. When completing objectives and optional challenges you are rewarded with knowledge points. There are a few side quests as well, completing a couple of these will unlock different skins. You can find objectives through glowing beams, but you also have a radar which was useful. Which is helpful for long distance flying.

Doing this will fill up your veetro, allowing you to fly at a faster speed (though not inside). Not only will you play these mini games to get through the story you can also find optional challenges. Other than those there are a few other mini games that you might occasionally do. Dancing is how you communicate to other bees, it’s quite easy as you just need to repeat their actions using directional input. In Easy it’s almost like a rhythm game, while in Hard it’s more free form and you have directional inputs. Especially since it stops you from straying too far, and in night scenes it was extra hard to see.Ĭombat is where you’ll notice the difference between the Easy and Hard difficulty. It’s easily my least favourite aspect of the game. You often need to follow bees, which involves avoiding obstacles while flying through the marker rings. Gameplay outside of collecting is made up of a few mini games. The pollen builds up as you collect it and you’ll have to drop it off to the hive once your pockets are full. Flying through the rings over the flowers will collect it. Using your bee vision you can identify flowers that are colour coded by quality. You are a pollen collector, and you’ll learn to take flight and collect pollen. Bee Simulator is neither, instead it is a story based adventure with an educational angle. What you might expect from a Simulator titled game is either something silly, or an accurate simulation.
