What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Just has added game mechanics, and improved textures and lighting, so of course its not going to look like House Flipper 2.
Improved lighting systems, sharper textures, better environmental detail, and a redesigned user interface make every house feel more vibrant and immersive.
The jobs are still fun to do, and the added intros with characters add some more charm to the game.
The game excels at turning everyday renovation work into a relaxing and rewarding gameplay loop that encourages players to continue improving one room after another.
The UI isn't an improvement as they've stated, instead we now have 3 mini wheels which are confusing and make it less intuitive than it even was in the first game, this feels like an absolute cash grab and I say this as someone in love with the franchise with 150+ hours in both entry's and I guess it was my own fault to be optimistic that I believed a remaster would be something that would take the original concept and would make it better by using things from the newer entry that they know are better and adapting.
Despite what the name would imply, this is not a remaster. it is EXACTLY the the same as House flipper 1, albeit with slightly better lighting. (by that i mean that windows look better, everything else about the lighting is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) Sure, there IS some voice acting. however, its generally pretty bad. at some points I actually thought they might've used text to speech.
