Bee Simulator Reviews
Providing you’re not expecting too much from Bee Simulator, you’ll have a good time with the game.
As a game though, Bee Simulator needs a little more meat on its bones. It's not a full on simulator like other simulators; it's an open-world arcade-like experience. It would be nice if we could actually land on a flower to collect pollen, for instance, rather than flying through a gamified light ring.
Bee Simulator is a somewhat enjoyable game but suffers greatly from horrible flight controls and overly sensitive inputs. Younger children may find it to be an enjoyable game and be able to ignore the overacting of the voice actors. However, it is a game that is educational in teaching players about the world of the honeybee and their importance to nature.
Good educational product but short and trivial game with low content and poor gameplay. At least there is split-screen multiplayer with four bees.

Blending together elements of flying games, exploration, some mini game action, and perhaps a bit of overly-aggressive environmentalist themes Bee Simulator is a unique experience...
Bee Simulator could've been something special if it had more variety in the missions and a world that didn't feel so empty. With a lack of both the game just feels a bit boring at times. The game is beautiful though and plays well so you might want to give it a chance when it's on sale.

Through a direct handling of a honey bee, Varsav proposes us a funny and very nice adventure, inside a realistic world full of humans and other animals. The Bee Simulator is a special experience. To the beehive, to our Queen and her 2500 eggs daily!

Whether it’s in respect to the repetitive gameplay structure, unsatisfying flight controls, or deflating brevity, there’s really no reason to see what the buzz is about. Bee Simulator is a well-meaning edutainment game but its honeymoon period is gone at breakneck speed. You’ve bee-n warned, and I’ve run out of puns.
Bee Simulator is a massive disappointment. I was charmed and intrigued by the trailer but the gameplay is extremely repetitive. As nice as the world is the developers haven’t managed to make traversing it feel fun. A child might find some wonder and limited educational value but otherwise I would strongly recommend you steer clear. I give Bee Simulator the Thumb Culture Bronze award.
Magnificient music and quite nice gameplay. First of all, a great educational game for children, but also older players can have fun.

This is a good game for curious kids who want to learn about nature. Adults will get bored after a while.
Overall, I had a pleasantly surprising experience with Bee Simulator. I enjoyed the tone of the game, the art style and the depth to the level design. I liked being able to explore a world from a different perspective, investigating all the different nooks and crannies this game has to offer.
Bee Simulator delivers a fairly lengthy, and generally well done game that aims to provide educational elements to your journey.
The best part about Bee Simulator is just how unique of a concept it is. The game has a definite sense of style and by that I mean, it feels like the player is truly in the world we know but so much smaller. Running around and popping balloons with my stinger gave me the best sort of smile every time. The game also teaches players about bee’s and other interesting facts making this a game for the entire family. I don’t think Bee Simulator is going to blow anyways away, but at the same time I can see a lot of families and kids really enjoying this one. It’s just a simple, smile inducing title that stands out unique enough to give players something different to experience.
Despite not technically being a ‘simulation’ game, Bee Simulator is a fun edutainment title which was enjoyable to play through. Although there are many side-quests to complete once you’ve finished the main story, there are only a few mini-game formats included, meaning you’ll quickly grow tired of them unless you really like the games they offer. Visually I thought the game looked okay, for a ‘simulator’, but some of the assets are a little basic and the game is deprived of life – it’s like you’re within a theme park full of models or animatronics. If you have a few kids, the multiplayer mode will entertain them for a while as up to four players can play at the same time – which is a welcomed addition.
Bee Simulator is a very valuable and important game for the younger audience as it offers a crucial lesson in life. Learning more about the life of the honeybee offers a fun interactive learning experience and thanks to the variation in gameplay, it's fun to play until the end. It's a bit of a shame the game suffers from technical issues because those are really holding it back from being incredible.
Only children are likely to find Bee Simulator an enjoyable experience as it offers very little value for money with its short campaign, lack of stimulating challenges, and repetitive gameplay.
