House Flipper 2 Review (ZedClampet)

It's complicated, but it's mostly about content. That's what most of the complaints seem to be about, so let's look at that.
First of all, there are probably 3 main types of House Flipper players. Type 1 is mostly interested in the handyman jobs. Type 2 likes flipping houses. Type 3 likes both.
Personally, I'm a Type 3. I've only flipped about 6 houses so far, but I've completed the jobs, and I even messed around in the creative mode for a few hours. As of now, I have 52.7 hours in the game, and I have a ton of houses left to flip and theoretically endless amounts of time in the creative building/decorating mode, so I don't really think an overall lack of content is a real thing. If you are super fast and do only the jobs, you might be a little disappointed, but that's not really the developer's fault, as there is a lot more to the campaign than just those jobs.
Another type of content people complain about is the lack of items for decorating as compared to the first game. This is kind of true, but not nearly to the extent that people claim. Here's an example of why. I don't know how many sofas are in the first game, but let's say there are 100 different sofas. Now let's guess that there are only 20 different sofas in the second game. What gives?
Well, there are actually two things at play here. Number one is that a lot of those sofas from the first game were added with later DLC, and this game hasn't had any DLC yet. But more than that, there are a whole lot more sofas in this game than first meets the eye due to the high level of customization.
I really should have counted all this stuff before writing this review, but with each sofa, you can choose what type of fabric it has and what the patterns are on the fabric. You can then choose what colors the patterns are. You can also choose what the wood portions of the sofas are (as you could in the old game, as well). But the fabric and colors are brand new to this game, and being able to control those makes any one couch have hundreds if not thousands of possibilities when you include the patterns and the colors. This also holds true for other things like beds and chairs. You can get everything exactly how you want it.
Moving on from the amount of content (I always want more, but think it's fine as is), there are just a ton of quality of life features that I can no longer imagine not having, like copying and pasting styles, duplicating items, etc. The ability to fine tune wood panels is also something that makes decorating a pleasure.
I don't know. Like everyone else, I wish we had a lot more content, some DLC stuff, etc. But I've really just enjoyed the game as is, so for me, I recommend it.
