Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a focused campaign without open-ended activities may find the shift between plot and free exploration a poor fit.
- Players who want crime to carry no immediate response may hit a wall when police pursue the character after bad acts.
- Players looking for a driving simulator centered on trucking routes may prefer a different focus.
- Players seeking a serious political strategy game may find the campaign framed as a sandbox adventure instead.
Our take on Dude Simulator 5
The clearest sticking point is the crime loop: robbery or attacks bring police pursuit, so players who want unrestricted troublemaking may hit resistance as soon as they act illegally. The campaign also shifts from escaping a mental hospital to earning money and voter support.
What is Dude Simulator 5?
Dude Simulator 5 is an open-world sandbox set in New Dudy City, where the goal is to become president.
After the mayor dismisses the campaign and the character ends up in a mental hospital, escaping starts a story about proving their worth to voters. The campaign involves earning money, talking to people, and taking different jobs; a monster fight also features along the way. Outside the plot mode, players can visit cities, find and spend money, drive cars, enter buildings, shop, and play jokes on people. The game also allows robbery and attacks on people. Police pursue the character after illegal activity.
