Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I have very mixed feelings, because on one hand the visuals are really pretty and the very first house was really enjoyable to decorate, but three rooms later and I found myself bored.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It does give you a reason to go back and improve the room, which is the upside of it(also in terms of replayability), but at the moment of building, for perfectionists this can be a major turn-off.

So making/matching certain vibes can be tricky at the time of writing, though I manage quite okay.

1st and most important is the optimization, GOD it is really bad.
