10 Insanely Hard Achievements Hidden Inside Easy Games
8. Gold Standard - PowerWash Simulator
PowerWash Simulator is a peaceful game where you get to experience the satisfaction of using a PowerWasher without doing any of the pesky manual labor.
Or cleaning up any actual dirt, but hey! Feeling productive is almost as good as being productive.
Although the game features levels and objectives, there isn't really any challenge to it, as you get no time limit on finishing a job.
However, the game does come with an additional challenge mode, and if you want to get the "Gold Standard" achievement, you'll have to treat it as an actual challenge instead of an optional test of your abilities.
The achievement in question asks you to get five gold medals in challenge mode, and this isn't a simple task. The mode consists of washing all sorts of hard-to-clean objects under a time limit, and the exact frame of time you need to fit into to get a gold medal is extremely low.
The number of players who have struggled to obtain all five gold medals is so high that there are multiple tutorials on the internet detailing how to do it.
Huh, it turns out operating a make-believe PowerWasher can be as hard as the real deal.
