About Goblin Cleanup
Goblin Cleanup is a co-op simulator where you play as a goblin tasked with cleaning up messes left by adventurers in a dungeon. Made by Crisalu Games and published by Team17, it launched in September 2025 for PC. The game mixes frantic cleaning mechanics with time pressure, as you race against incoming waves of adventurers who will trash the dungeon again. It supports single player but shines in co-op, with up to four players working together to scrub floors, haul trash, and reorganize loot. Think of it like a reverse tower defense game where your goal isn’t to fight intruders but to tidy up after them.
Gameplay
Each session starts with you scrambling to clean spilled oil, broken furniture, and scattered debris. You use a broom, mop, or a novelty hoover to sweep and scrub, while teammates handle trash bins or reset furniture. The dungeon’s layout changes slightly each round, forcing you to adapt to new obstacles. Controls are simple but require coordination, your left hand mops while your right hand drags a table back into place. Time pressure ramps up as adventurers approach, signaled by a countdown and their footsteps echoing. Matches last 10-15 minutes, blending chaos with brief moments of calm when the room resets. Multiplayer adds hilarious miscommunication, especially when someone accidentally kicks a bucket instead of picking it up.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 89%, while critics give it 84%. Average playtime is 7 hours, with only 12.4% completing all achievements. Community moods skew toward Frustrated (45%), Relieved (30%), and Amused (25%). Reviewers call it “chaotic but satisfying” and “a surprisingly deep cleaning simulator.” Some note it “doesn’t last long,” with 68% of players playing less than 10 hours. At $24.99, it’s budget-friendly, though 28 achievements (45% average completion) and 32% replay value mean it’s not a long-term investment. The co-op mode gets 92% positive ratings, but solo play drops to 76% due to repetitive tasks.
PlayPile's Take
Goblin Cleanup works best as a party game or a stress-relief session with friends. It’s not for fans of slow, methodical simulators, it thrives on frantic teamwork and shared laughter over mistakes. At its price point, it’s a solid pick for co-op enthusiasts who enjoy light, silly mechanics. If you’ve played games like Overcooked or Unturned’s cleaning mode, this is similar but shorter. Skip it if you prefer deep systems or solo play. The achievements and replay modes add some longevity, but don’t expect a marathon. Worth a try for the chaos alone.
