    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.

    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

    I have played this game WITHOUT the garden DLC that some of my friends tell me adds soooo much to the game But, without it i    Score: 6.3

    I have played this game WITHOUT the garden DLC that some of my friends tell me adds soooo much to the game
    But, without it i can say taht the game is fun, but can get old fast
    And has A LOT OF PROBLEMS especially when we talk about the Auction mechanic
    I don't think it's right for us to have to do stupid **** just to try and sell a house to someone in specific, because the indications and hints between some of the people are soo similar, that it just makes impossible to try and get all achievments.

    Gameplay wise, is OK, could be better but if you just want to chill and decorate something for fun and spend like 2/3 hours without even noticing it... it's possible.

    I kinda recomend it, it's an ok game, but not a good game for me.    … Expand

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