I initially started House Flipper with a lot of excitement, and I must say, I really enjoyed it. Despite typically leaning toward thriller, action, and horror games, I found this one to be a surprisingly relaxing escape after long days of university and work. The gameplay is simple, easy to grasp, and offers a variety of tasks and house-flipping options that kept me engaged for hours. In fact, I spent about 18 hours in the game.
The base game provides a decent selection of options for house renovation and decoration, and I appreciated the variety of challenges. However, there are some technical issues that slightly hinder the experience. I encountered a few bugs, such as tiles failing to load correctly when changing colors or when placing them on the wall. It's a minor annoyance, but it does detract from the overall immersion.
Another issue that stood out was the game's save system. Despite my computer being brand new with plenty of available storage, House Flipper randomly crashed and lost my progress multiple times. The first time, I lost my entire profile, and when I tried again, the game randomly started a new session and erased my new progress. It’s frustrating, especially after sinking so many hours into it, and it’s surprising that this issue hasn't been addressed considering the release of a new game by the developers. While no game is perfect, these problems really need attention.
Despite the technical glitches and save issues, I still found House Flipper to be enjoyable. It’s a great game for unwinding, and I would recommend it to those looking for a chill experience with a bit of creativity. Hopefully, the developers will address these bugs in future updates, as there’s a lot of potential in the game.
