Goblin Cleanup Review โ Cute Chaos Meets Viscera-Style Cleaning
I spent hours as a goblin maid mopping blood, repairing traps and feeding friends to a mimic. Charming tools and co-op mayhem meet awkward bugs and some unfair later levels โ great concept, rough edges.
Goblin Cleanup flips the usual dungeon fantasy: instead of adventuring you tidy up the mess after one. If you liked Viscera Cleanup Detail, this will hit a similar sweet spot โ with goblins, slimes and more chaos. Itโs delightful in bursts, but early access bugs and some design choices sting.

You play as a goblin cleaner who mops blood with a slimop, feeds chunks to a mimic and refills chests, repairs traps and respawns creatures so the next party can wreck the place again. The core loop is satisfyingly tactile: pick up a vase, slot it back into place, squirt slime, press buttons. Tools like the slime dispenser, mimic and crystal-dragon helper feel clever and fit the fantasy-cleaner vibe. Levels mix tidy puzzles with environmental hazards โ some maps feel like cozy puzzles, others shift into platforming and survival (watch out for the Frozen Dragon). Multiplayer for up to four turns accidental betrayals into the best kind of nonsense. That variety is a strength, but the difficulty curve sometimes swings from chill to punishing, and persistent bugs (hit registration, stuck items, odd lava/dragon hitboxes) break the flow. Cosmetic rewards and challenges add replay, though earning them can feel grindy given the current amount of content. Overall itโs a smart, silly premise executed with heart, just still a little raw in places.

Goblin Cleanup is a clever, often hilarious cleanup sim with strong co-op bones โ currently held back by bugs and inconsistent level design. Pick it up on sale if you want chaotic goblin mayhem; otherwise wait for more polish.














Pros
- Inventive, fantasy-themed cleaning tools (slimop, mimic, slime dispenser).
- Great co-op chaos: hilarious moments when friends become literal chunks of meat.
- Strong early-game pacing and satisfying placement/cleanup mechanics.
Cons
- Later levels get unfair or tedious โ hidden objectives and awkward platforming.
- Early Access bugs: hitboxes, soft-locks and multiplayer desyncs hamper experience.
Player Opinion
Players love the quirky tools, cozy concepts and the hilarity of 4-player shenanigans โ many call it a must-play with friends. The common complaints are repeated: buggy later maps (Frozen Dragon, Volcano), inconsistent hit registration and a grindy cosmetic system that asks a lot for little content. If you want relaxed cleaning and puzzles youโll enjoy early levels; if you prefer polished, fair challenges or solo grind you might get frustrated.
