That’s such a shame.House Flipper received 'mixed or average reviews' according to review aggregator Metacritic, with multiple reviewers commenting that fixing up the homes is satisfying while questioning its long-term playability. Even more disappointing, you can’t plant trees or make sidewalks or build decks there’s no landscaping whatsoever. You can’t customize countertops, get fancy with tile work, or do a heck of a lot with exterior siding. For instance, there’s one type of shower.

I don’t mind the basic click-centric gameplay - in fact, I find it rather calming and meditative - but there’s a clear lack of variety and substance in the decor and appliances. It’s a podcast game.Īside from inconsistent performance on my more-than-capable PC, the biggest issue with House Flipper is a lack of customization options.

There’s not much of a reason to continue playing after that point, but I still find myself popping back in from time to time. There’s a finite amount of jobs available (though you can replay them), and you only need to flip a handful of houses before you have more money than you know what to do with. These are all geared toward improving your all-around efficiency ( time is money!), allowing you to see every stain on your minimap, build walls that come pre-painted, or negotiate with buyers among other more basic speed boosts for routine manual labor.Ĭertain buyers will have specific likes and dislikes - I love the dude who can’t comprehend the need for a kitchen - and half the fun is trying to sell to all of the game’s potential buyers. For better and for worse, its take on renovation is all very simplified and streamlined.Įach time you perform an action, you get a tiny bit closer to earning a skill point for character upgrades that will make your life a little easier. Installing showers, toilets, radiators, and sinks is slightly more hands-on - you have to manually click and hold your mouse on individual components to assemble them bit by bit - but that’s as complicated as House Flipper ever gets. Among other micro-tasks, you’ll pick up trash, vacuum cockroaches, stab your mop at stains, scrub windows, plaster holes, and replace burnt-out electrical outlets. It’s on you to make things look squeaky clean (or at least get everything to an adequate-enough state so you can turn a profit).
