I am a big fan of the original Bee Simulator game. I’ve played it a couple of times on my PlayStation. There’s no doubt this game is a really good way of combining gaming with educational elements without feeling like you’re learning something. When I heard there was going to be a new release with new features, I was really really excited! But in all honesty, Bee Simulator: The Hive didn’t need to be a full release. Whilst it adds some really fun elements, they’re only accessible post-main game and it doesn’t really add all that much. It’s quite difficult to figure out what rating to give it. If you’ve played this game before then realistically I don’t think you’ll be massively impressed. If you’re a brand new player I think it does definitely add something to the base game. The bees keep buzzing and this continues to be a good game, ultimately I just don’t think it’s worth buying the game over again. With that I’ve given Bee Simulator: The Hive the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Bee Simulator: The Hive is absolutely the definitive version of the game. The only hesitation is for those who already played the original Bee Simulator; whether it’s worth double-dipping depends entirely on how much you loved it the first time. But for newcomers, this is undoubtedly the version to get. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly experience with educational touches, a sweet atmosphere, and just enough variety to keep things light and pleasant. It’s not deeply challenging, but an additional hard mode is optional. It’s simply a cosy game about being a bee, exploring a park, and caring for a hive. I enjoyed my time with it far more than expected, and for families, younger players, or anyone looking for something warm and low-stress, it’s easy to recommend.
