House Flipper - Nintendo Switch

I am not a typical gamer, but I am LOVING this game! It's very easy-going and doesn't cause me anxiety like other high-stress games (racing, shooting, etc). It's really satisfying to clean things up, then be able to flip your own house. The first day it arrived, I played it for 3 hours straight until my console ran out of power. I definitely recommend this game :)

I had noticed this game during a sale to which it was 10-15 dollars off its original price, I had purchased two, 1 for a Christmas gift, and another for me to try. Upon opening the package it reveals two of the same house flipper games (as expected) to be revealed. While leaving one of them sealed I had popped mine, into my Animal Crossing Nintend Switch. The game is designed around any other renovating game, you work on side jobs to then earn money to which you use it on your owned properties to try to sell to a buyer as to double of what you had put in. The graphics are toned down then other console versions of this game, but is still enough to be pleasing to the average human eye. The button mechanics are mapped with the switch controls so the play mechanics are tweaked just so slightly to this version. The end result of this product could end in a result of recommendation, if so happens you don't enjoy the game, you can either give it to someone you know or return the product, but overall it's pleasing.

This game reminds me of the simpsons episode where kids were playing yard work simulator. There is something very relaxing and satisfying about cleaning up, painting and organizing virtual houses. This game takes you from one house to another with a different objective for each house. From clearing garbage, scrubbing dirt clean to painting walls, every activity is easy and satifying to perform. I will say the graphics aren't great and some of the controls take some getting used to but this is a great game for switch. Just don't let your wife see you doing virtual chores; she may want to increase your work load around your real house.

UPDATE!I changed my review from 1 to 4 stars because finally an update came out today that fixed my game crashing when loaded. I am back to playing and very happy! I gave it 4 because sometimes it is difficult to control the aim and it is frustrating that I am enjoying designing a bedroom and because of some of my furniture choices it changes it to a multipurpose room or office, thus making the house seem to have no bedrooms. That isn’t a HUGE deal, I still highly recommend this game. It is so much fun choosing various color schemes and design choices. Knocking down and building walls in order to customize the blueprint. A no pressure, take your time, just have fun game.OLD REVIEW I wish I could give it more stars but there are game crashing glitches which make the game unplayable at a certain point. I contacted the developers last year and they claimed they were working on a patch but nothing so far. The game as the date of this review is broken so I do not recommend getting it at all. It is a shame because I really was enjoying the game. If they fix the crash issue I will update this review.

I am in love with this game! Its so fun and relaxing while playing. There have been a couple little glitchy moments while playing, but nothing that would make me not recommend this to others. At first when you start, your skill level is lower so things like painting and such take quite a bit of time. But once you get your skills updated it is much quicker and not as time consuming. I still haven't bought a house to flip yet, but even just doing the odds and ends jobs to build up your budget is really fun.

I’ll give it three stars because I do like the game. However the digital version is the same price AND has more. More tasks you do, as far as light yard work. AND more houses to flip. This version has 19. My friend has the digital version and it has 27.Mine says it’s up to date, yet hers a higher numbered version. And shows as a different maker. If you have this hard copy, the other dlc packs are not compatible so you’d have to purchase the digital version anyways if you ever wanted them as well.I did have an issue where it glitched and I found out the hard way that it doesn’t autosave anything. I was hours in and had almost all the upgrades and had to restart.

I have attempted to play through this game five times now, and each time I can only get through about 75% before there’s a game-stopping glitch. The glitch is that there will be an error message when attempting to close the software, and once you get that error message, the game will no longer save your progress, it will keep defaulting back to the save game as of when it glitched. At first it seemed to happen when I would try to build new walls in the ironically named “Unfortunate Effect” house, so I tried again and skipped that house but that didn’t help; all the houses after that one will also glitch if you build walls. You can build walls in the tutorial lessons just fine, the bug is in the main game.So then I tried playing the game again this time deliberately not knocking down or building any walls, and this time about 80% into the game it crashed when I tried to assemble a curtain rod. So then I tried playing the game again this time not building walls and not doing curtains, and everything seemed fine and when I went to close the software I got the error message again, this time for no discernible reason.The game has many other design and control problems as well, plus other minor glitches (in one game even the tutorial broke) so at best this was going to be a two-star review, but since the game glitches this badly and this consistently and is apparently incapable of being completed all the way through, I have to give it only one star and warn you DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT ALL.

Keeps freezing when playing.
