If it was truly a simulation, you’d die after stinging something, which would make for a rather short game.
BEE SIMULATOR PS4 SIMULATOR
The first thing to know about this game is that it’s not as much of a simulator as the title would lead you to believe, which is not a bad thing. There are some humans here and there, but they don’t feel like they’ve been fully implemented, as they aren’t really doing anything other than being close to their food, which is never a good thing. The game features some nice visuals powered by the Unreal Engine, with a somewhat large semi-open world where you can go pretty much anywhere you want to explore. Other times you’ll be fighting others, which is done by pressing the Square button to block or the Triangle button to attack with a timed bar, pretty much like you would have to press the correct button sequence in a Rock Band game, but on a more basic level. Some will involve you communicating with other bees by doing a bee dance, for which you need to use the left analog stick to make the same moves as the bee in front of you. Some will be races where you have to go through several rings, all while avoiding obstacles such as spider webs or gusts of wind. Whether it’s as part of story missions or in optional challenges, you’ll be taking on different challenges. The other option for gaining Beetro will be to land on some human sweets like cupcakes to charge it up. Collecting multiple flowers of the same quality in a row will slowly fill up your Beetro, which basically acts as a speed boost that you can activate with the R1 button. This mode allows you to see the world in a different way, with only the flowers varying in color. To be able to see which quality you’re collecting, you’ll be able to enter Bee Vision mode with the R3 button. The flowers you collect pollen from have different qualities: common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary.

As you collect pollen, your honey pot in the bottom left will fill up, and once it’s full, you’ll have to go back to the hive to deposit the pollen.


Collecting pollen is obviously part of your job, and you’ll be doing so by flying through golden orbs that appear over flowers. Speaking of the basics, you’ll be moving your bee around with the left analog joystick, with the possibility of moving vertically with the L2 and R2 buttons. After learning the basics, you’ll be granted an audience with the Queen to learn about your new assignments. After that, you’re introduced to the honey bee you’ll be controlling throughout the game, which you can choose to name however you want, although that doesn’t change anything in the game. It also has an impact on pollination because they can’t do it as efficiently as before, causing issues that will impact us on many levels. The game starts with a little intro explaining the dangers bees are currently facing around the world, with all the pesticides being used, which are weakening the bees.
