In One Man’s Trash, the junkyard isn’t just a heap of discarded relics; it’s a labyrinth of lost dreams, hidden treasures, and satirical secrets waiting to be unearthed. Armed with a souped-up vacuum cleaner, players plunge into a pit of chaos where every discarded console, cursed cartridge, and relic of pop culture tells a story. This isn’t just about digging; it’s about obsession, fortune, and the absurd pursuit of a hard drive worth millions. Step inside the pit and discover whether fortune truly lies in the refuse.

One Man’s Trash Review Pros

• Decent graphics. 
• 1016.23MB download size. 
• Steam achievements. 
• Controller support. 
• Video settings – display mode, frame rate limit, v-sync, resolution scale, foliage quality, anti-aliasing, effects quality, motion blur, and bloom. 
• Audio sliders for – vacuum, SFX, music, and master volume. 
• You can remap the controls for both the controller and the keyboard. 
• Game settings – Invert axis for the controller and/or the mouse, toggle vacuum, and skip intro toggle. 
• Three playstyle difficulties – Cosy, Classic, and Abyss. These affect how much time pressure you get and how and when you can spend coupons. 
• If you want a more chilled, less stressful experience, then Cosy is the difficulty for you. 
• Dig your way to the bottom of the game world gameplay, but with a hoover, so I guess suck yourself to the bottom. That sounds a bit wrong. 
• Tutorial pop-ups as you play. 
• Vacuum up items and sell them for cash on Junkbay. 
• Dirt is the earth of the game, and you suck that up to dig your way down, yes or suck yourself further down. 
• Spend cash on Junkazon to upgrade stats – strength, size, capacity, range, inventory space, lamps, rope, and scanner. 
• A full 3D game world, and you play in first person with 360-degree camera control. 
• The Hoover can suck and blow, so you get the best of both worlds. 
• Play how you want, and actually, that’s the whole point of the game. 
• You will see parts of items and then have to suck them out of the dirt. 
• The depth gauge shows at all times, so you know how much you sucked. 
• Up above ground, you can run around and explore, find a shelf and storage for upgrades, use the laptop, etc. 
• The health bar system, and you buy health from Junkazon. 
• Easy to learn controls. 
• Anything you collect will give you a pop-up text description. 
• As you buy upgrades, you fill your membership level, and then once full, you pay an upgrade membership fee. 
• The rope will be in the middle of the map at all times, and you just pay to lengthen the rope. 
• Unlock new skins by playing the game, and don’t worry, you get notifications. 
• So you have a carry limit of items, which is your inventory, and then you have a bar that fills up with dirt and dust, which is the vacuum level. If this gets full, the hoover will overheat and explode. Going topside will empty the bag. 
• The Hud shows the depth, cash, health, inventory amount, and vacuum dust capacity bar. 
• A shed will show trophies, and each piece of trash you have found will have a trophy so you can admire it. 
• Find rare treasures, tunnels, hidden rooms, and so much more. 
• I like how you can find huge things like a car, and it will take ages to uncover and retrieve. 
• The game is one where you can just switch your brain off and work your way through it all. 
• Find usable items like coffee for super speed temporarily, and coupons to sell items for more money. 
• It is a game that can easily destroy your free time as you lose track of everything from time to eating. 
• I do like how the story is mixed in, and it gives it all purpose and adds more depth to the genre. 

One Man’s Trash Review Cons

• The game doesn’t say it supports the controller, but it does and has settings in-game for it. 
• It takes way too long to discover new items and get a bit of variety. 
• Early game is bad; it takes so long to get a sense of actual progression. 
• The graphics settings are not as in-depth as you would like, like resolution, etc. 
• No Colourblind or accessibility options. 
• I would get weird graphical issues as I go further down. 
• At times, I got stuck and couldn’t get out of the hole, more so in the early game, as there are ways to limit the chances, but it does happen.
