    While I’ll eventually grow bored with this title, it hasn’t happened yet, even with 50-plus hours combined between my wife and I playing. I still have perks to unlock and properties to fix and sell. House Flipper is much better than expected and will keep you busy for a long while, even longer once the game is updated.

    Overall House Flipper is a great game to kill time with, and also the perfect game if you find that you need to be able to shut your brain off and just do something for a little while. It’s not perfect and it is definitely not for everybody, especially if you’re actually in the market for something more exciting, but those who enjoy sitting down to slam out a mundane task should strongly consider this game on Switch. While some of the decisions they made in terms of controls were a bit strange to me, I eventually got used to them and found myself enjoying the process just as much as I did on PC. So get in there and paint those rooms the ugliest colors you can find, and put down a chair for good measure, House Flipper is the place to be if you’re just looking to relax.

    Despite numerous issues, House Flipper is a slow burn that will frustrate and comfort you, making it a decent game to add to your Switch collection.

    House Flipper is a simulation game where you purchase and do up houses to sell for profit to do it all over again. It is mindless and monotonous, but there is catharsis in cleaning things up and returning them to some semblance of order.

    I don't understand the appeal of cleaning and renovating in a video game, especially when it's as boring as it is in House Flipper.

    House Flipper is emblematic of why every game doesn’t need to be on Switch. Its nauseating performance, terrible controls, and laggy menus combine to make an overall awful experience. The game itself, while relaxing at times, seems to want to waste your time in any way it possibly can.

    There’s truly so little fun to be found in House Flipper, where ugly graphics, awful controls and some tedious UI all combine to create something far too dull to recommend. You’re better off watching paint dry.

    Poor performance and ugly. Bad porting. Pc version is much better. I hope dev can fix performance.

    I played this on Xbox one first and wanted it so bad on the switch. Now I have and it is NOTHING as good as on console. Super limited onI played this on Xbox one first and wanted it so bad on the switch. Now I have and it is NOTHING as good as on console. Super limited on choices. Ugh. Waste of money. Maybe if they gave an update... until then I wouldn't recommend. Full Review »

    As others have mentioned the Switch version of this game is awful. I don't have a gaming PC and the Switch is my only console at the momentAs others have mentioned the Switch version of this game is awful. I don't have a gaming PC and the Switch is my only console at the moment due to funds. I made me mistake of purchasing the Switch version of House Flipper without looking it up first because it was on sale. I didn't imagine it being such a poorly ported edition of the game but it is. Please don't waste your money no matter how low the price is. The frustration and annoyance that builds when trying to play on a Switch outweighs any fun that could be had. It's really sad that there seems to have been no updates along with the fact that none will ever come because the the Switch edition has been abandoned by those who ported it. Full Review »
