“These ducks truly were placid and plastic, and I enjoyed simulating every moment of it. There's no real inputs to influence the movement of the ducks (aside from things in the map you can interact with) but I think…”
“In a single word, Ducks. This is a chill idle game of collecting rubber ducks of all sorts of designs and you can name each and everyone of them. That's all this game is and we all like it. Either that or people believe…”
“ducks, quack quack. it's an idle game where you literally just watch ducks, i enjoyed getting the achievements and watching ducks, meow.”

“This may seem like a boring game but it's so chill and just so amazing. There are so many cool ducks to collect and a lot of cool things to see like a plane flying and ducks out in the middle of the ocean. Even without…”
“If you want an idle game where you can walk away and collect ducks, this is it. Literally all you do is sit and watch ducks spawn. There are little secrets to unlock but some of the puzzles are SO difficult to figure…”

“It was a cute idea but it's just turned into an achievement scam with multiple dlcs every year with more achievements tied to it.”
“I love this master piece off a game the graphics are absolutely spectacular and the attention to detail is insane. This is a must play and trust me you will never get off of it.”
“Somehow very entertaining even though you technically do nothing except stare at ducks, the ducks are just that great. Also the duck interactions are cool one time one of my ducks got set on fire by a different duck and…”

“It's alright. I think it ran a little poorly on my computer, but maybe that's just because of all of the names I put on the ducks. It was relaxing and the music on the radio was very nice. My favorite duck was probably…”
“I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! I do understand this game is not for everyone. Patients and a love of weird is needed. There is barely any traditional game play. I personally am enjoying it though. I will put it on while doing…”
“This game far exceeds expectations. I was blown away by the graphics, the details, and the surprising mini-activities in the DLC. The tunes on the radio are fantastic and I am looking forward to putting a lot more hours…”

“This game is so entertaining. I recommend the $6 Pack. This is not sarcasm. If you love Coconut simulator I would 100% reccomended. This is probably one of the best games ever made.”

“Personally I don't get the hype. Its pretty ducks in a pretty setting. That's it. Sometimes there's stuff in the background you can interact with. But hey, I paid like a $1.50 CAD for this and I ussually spend more on a…”

“Placid Plastic Duck Simulator… where do I even start? This game is honestly something else. I don’t even fully know why I ended up putting so many hours into it... but I think it’s the small details and little activities that make it so addictive. At first glance, it looks…”
— a player, Steam review · 95 hrs played“Placid Plastic Duck Simulator is a fun 'no thoughts required' game. An absolute masterpiece of minimalist relaxation. Good for idling and destressing; no objectives, no timers, no high scores. It is purely about watching high-fidelity rubber ducks float in a pool! The ambient…”

You're bored and have nothing better to do, so you watch the DVD logo bounce around the screen. You just sit there waiting for it…”
