Introduction

Imagine a world where you're not just cleaning your room, but are actually hired to remove the evidence of some seriously shady dealings. Welcome to *Serial Cleaners*, a delightful mix of humor, stealth, and more blood than a butcher's shop. In this fun follow-up to *Serial Cleaner*, you'll be diving back into the underbelly of crime—just trying to make a living, one body bag at a time.

Gameplay

Set in the tantalizingly nostalgic 90s, *Serial Cleaners* plays out from a cheeky isometric perspective. You control a ragtag team of crime scene cleaners, each with their quirky special abilities that make you wonder just how exactly they got this job. Want to drag a body without leaving a bloody trail? Bob's your guy! Got a penchant for dismembering? Psycho's got you covered (and apparently a healthy relationship with his therapist). The goal? Scoot around levels, snatch up evidence, and dodge police patrols like you’re trying to sneak an extra slice of pizza in your parents’ kitchen. Each level is packed with pop culture references that scream 90s, and you'll find yourself humming a nostalgic tune or two while frantically hiding behind furniture as a cop waltzes by. Just a tip—if you get caught, it’s level restart time, so don’t think about giving your best impression of a deer in headlights! While part of your job is literally cleaning up the mess of murderers, the dialogue between characters adds a surprising amount of depth. It’s like a sitcom set against the backdrop of total chaos. Think “Friends” meets “CSI: Miami.” You’ll be thrilled to discover that crime does pay—if you're willing to do the dirty work.

Graphics

Visually, *Serial Cleaners* pops with a stylish art style that oozes personality. The colors are vibrant, and the environments have that perfect mix of cartoonish charm and grungy realism that screams ‘yes, I really should not be here.’ Each level is a glimpse into a time when fashion statements often included bizarre hairstyles and overly baggy jeans. So while you might be knee-deep in gore, at least it’s eye-catching! The graphics on the PS5 take advantage of the hardware, delivering smooth animations that make dodging cops and cleaning up look easy—almost too easy, but we’ll get to that in a second.

Conclusion

*Serial Cleaners* is like that unexpected sequel you didn’t know you needed—and honestly, it’s quite okay to admit you giggled a little while dodging the police. While some reviews lean towards pointing out the repetitive nature of missions, the mix of humor, chaotic narratives, and slightly absurd gameplay keeps the blood (and fun) flowing. If you can look past the occasional AI hiccup and embrace the light-hearted absurdity of it all, you’re in for a wildly entertaining ride. So grab your mop, and get ready to sweep up after some of the most hilariously inept criminals you’ll ever meet. All in all, it’s an 8 out of 10 for this cleaning crew; just don’t forget to wear gloves!
