#HOUSE FLIPPER PC GAME REVIEW FULL VERSION#

The furniture catalog is also something that has been hurt by the move away from a keyboard, as trying to search for a specific item now brings up the Switch’s on screen keyboard to type with. Moving the first person camera feels incredibly sensitive with an analog stick, and while there is a look sensitivity slider in the options menu I was never quite able to find a setting that totally worked for me. While the move from PC to console has been surprisingly smooth, there are a few complaints I found myself unable to fully get over.

But it does get better as upgrades are acquired rather quickly just by playing the game normally. As somebody who had already put around 30 hours into the PC version I had forgotten just how slow the game moves before these upgrades build up, and this potentially might turn off new players. Painting a certain amount of walls lets you level up and use less paint or paint multiple sections at once, knocking down a certain amount of walls will give you access to better tools, completing jobs will allow you to unlock higher pay for those jobs, etc. You can repaint walls, knock down walls, build new walls, place new flooring, furnish the home, and then finally sell that house for a tidy profit.Įverything in House Flipper starts a bit slow, but as you perform activities you’ll begin to unlock perks that will cause you to work far more efficiently. Once you’ve done enough of these jobs you should then have enough money to buy your first house, and from there what you do is up to you. Each of these jobs has its own list of things you have to do, and once you pass a certain threshold you are allowed to call it done and accept payment, but the closer you get to 100% complete the higher your payment will be. You may have to paint their walls a new color or clean up trash and dirt that has been strewn about. To start you will have to take some jobs going into other people’s homes and doing things. In House Flipper you do exactly as it says on the tin: you flip and sell houses. While a couple issues, both new and old, do show themselves when playing this game on the Switch, House Flipper seems to be a surprisingly competent port all things considered. Upon its original release it blew up among streamers and people just looking to wind down and kill time, and it’s easy to see why.

#HOUSE FLIPPER PC GAME REVIEW PORTABLE#
No game exemplifies this better than House Flipper, a game originally released on PC in 2018 that has finally become portable as of hitting the Switch.

It lets you shut your brain off, veg out, forget your troubles and just paint a wall. There is a certain satisfaction to doing a mundane task for long periods of time, at least for some people.
