    House Flipper is one of those titles that you just don't expect to be as good as it is. Seriously, play this videogame.

    It seems a little silly to gush about a video game that simulates housework but given the added amount of stress and anxiety that has crept into my life lately, House Flipper is a wonderful way to shut out the noise of the world for a little bit.

    This house-renovating simulator provides a satisfying sense of progression and realism. Its focus veers away from architectural and interior design, letting handiwork steal the spotlight.

    It is a niche title, but it can be a very fun game if you don't mind spending hours remaking houses and decorating them to your heart's content.

    House Flipper manages to scratch a specific itch, but it lacks long-term incentives and just generally feels like a missed opportunity. With more content, polish, interactivity, and customization, this could become a nice sleeper hit. It's serviceable as is, but it won't hold your attention for too long.

    Cleaning up a large house, painting the walls, and fixing the plumping is dull work for most people. For some bizarre reason, in House Flipper all that is fun. Being a sim title it's not for everyone of course, but those who enjoy the idea of buying, renovating, and reselling houses will actually get addicted with playing this, especially since its title that's incredibly easy to pick up and play. Sadly, it suffers a lot in terms of replay value. By the time you hit 10 hours or so, you've practically done everything twice, and all that's left is to simply experiment with new colours of paint, or different sets of furniture.

    House Flipper seems like a killer idea for a sim game, and while your first few sales deliver some of the before-and-after magic, the game fails to capture the larger remodeling fantasy. Empyrean has been delivering a steady stream of updates and improvements to House Flipper, but it’ll take a lot more elbow grease to get this fixer-upper ready for market.

    Also ich kann nur sagen mich hat es direkt in den Bann gezogen, das Renovieren und die Freiheiten bei der Gestaltung einfach grandios. Addons Sehr empfehlenswert, zumindest das Garten DLC.

    minimale abzüge in der Animation, Grafik ist grundsätzlich gut!
    Ein Koop Modus wäre noch wünschenswert :)

    This is quite an addictive game, you can lose track of time while playing it. I get so absorbed in it.
    I've always liked building and    This is quite an addictive game, you can lose track of time while playing it. I get so absorbed in it.
    I've always liked building and creating in games.
    However when you start buying and flipping houses a lot of the base game houses seem way too simular to each other with not much unique variety with only a few interesting houses at the upper more expensive end.
    I like to complete everything and the game does become repetitive and boring as there is not enough Decor and design choices in the base game.
    I like doing the structured jobs much better than buying and flipping houses as that gets very repetitive and feels so samey.

    There needs to be at least the ability to make your own paint shades as what there is, is limited. And you can only do walls in vertical strips and are not able to do horizontal strips. Which limits creativity as you can't do a lower half different than a top half of a wall.
    The game can be glitchy and buggy.
    I also think the DLC is overpriced and I would not buy any unless it's on sale for no more than $10AUD.
    I only have the pet DLC as my friend gave it to me as a Xmas gift as that was the only one with a small discount.

    Overall I really enjoyed playing the game. It's good if you are creative and like decorating or even just cleaning and making a house look better. Overall the game is very relaxing and fun, makes time go by so fast when I play it. It's good to play and return to when you feel like playing something relaxing.    … Expand

Do not expect to enjoy this game later down theThis is a good simulation game to get into especially at the beginning of your playthrough. Do not expect to enjoy this game later down the line though as it looses a lot of its magic with many similar house designs and the playthrough can also be relatively fast. More of the variety to this game is gained through its purchasable DLC. Overall solid 6 so slightly above average for a slightly above average game.… Expand

    This game is a joke. One of the worst games on the market with many bugs and dull gameplay.
