I played both, and I really prefer the freedom of HF2. Yeah, we have a lot less furnitures without all the DLC atm, but on the other hand, the "create a style" tool that can be applied to anything improve things vastly. 2 kitchens with the exact same furnitures could look totally different with another set of wood/color/etc, so the variety brought by years of DLC is compensated by the personnalisation options. Also, I prefer VASTLY House Flipper 2 for the assembly. While the assembly was first the first 2 or 3 times, it becomes way too tedious in House Flipper, I hate instaling washing machines in that game. In HF2, they found the perfect compromise, you can assembly for an item, once, if you really want, you can ignore it totally if you don't, and then all the item you buy directly in game are already assembled. The discount is perhaps small for the small items, but anyway, the easy items are cheap anyway, but it grows with complexity, and 6% on bigger items, without being gamebreaking, is still nice to have.
The only good thing that came out of House Flipper 2 is the sandbox mode. I've played the first games for a long time, and with all the DLC's i felt like the possibilities was endless. Modern house, old house, or even a japanese house, no problem. in the second game i feel very limited with my furniture options. I find myself spending more time making facades and other boring stuff in house flipper 2, where in the first game i spend way more time decorating my house inside. It's the small details that made the first game better in my opinion. They should've taken the first game, and added the sandbox mode, then it would've been perfect!
Enjoy them both but not so keen on the cartoon style graphics of HF2.Original also had more choice for lights,pictures etc.HF2 wins by a mile for allowing you to build your own house from scratch though.
I missed the before and after photos. Dev lame the game withtoo much unpacking which was so boring. They ripped off from Home. Great assessment by the way. Thanks
@clipstretch8147 that was my fear about HF2, after having been excited about House Flipper VR (anyone remember that one? the stepchild no one talks about) but was sorely disappointed by the cartoon graphics and deplorable mechanics. I've spent probably 2-3 hrs in the VR version whereas I'm currently up to 2300+ hours in HF1. I love the level of "realism" (such as it is, improved drastically by Workshop items) of HF1: I've created many houses that look quite realistic in HF1. There are some videos here on YT by Jellie and others that have realistic-looking houses in HF2, so I did buy the second game but as of this writing haven't started it yet. Already *not* looking forward to overgrown lawns ("gardens" as some call them) and the lack of a lawn mower, which was one of my favorite aspects of HF1 and should be included in the base game without question but wasn't. The devs learned nothing from HF1 in that respect, and it always makes me laugh when people say "The devs listen to their players" when clearly they don't. We're still waiting on bugs to be fixed that were reported at least 4 years ago...will the same be true for HF2? Okay, so I've ranted on enough, but suffice it to say I'm somewhat excited about HF2 but have some serious misgivings.
It's better it's just lacking in decorations such as the pictures the art that the first one has wish the second had, they should put all the things that are on the first one in the second house flipper, but everything else is alguds😊
6:43 The flamethrower was something I didn't think I'd ever really use, UNTIL there were certain things that didn't work right and only the flamethrower would get rid of them. Like when you move a door inside a house and suddenly you have grass growing up through the floor -- there is NO way to remove it other than the flamethrower. Also, when putting down gravel or bark, you can't get close enough to tree trunks and so you have all these poky bits sticking up and ruining the look. The flamethrower gets rid of the grass and you can then put down the gravel/bark as close as possible to get an aesthetic look. (I just did this for my "In the Woods" house, which has horrid *yellow* grass everywhere and I wanted a forest look with bark/mulch.)
pretty much endless. if you have the dlc s even more so. you can easily get lost spending hours working on a single house if you want and there's plenty if houses and smaller more linear jobs to choose from
I personally preffered house flipper 1 more. I loved assembling and now in house flipper 2 you can put a wshing machine wherever you want, and it feels like the sims. I loved to actually think where to put things, and when I didn't do that properly, I had to assemble from the start. Also I think tho theres much more options to customize your furnitures theres not a lot of them, especially lights where in house flipper 1 we had loads of them in various styles, like boho, loft, cottage etc. So yeah I'd recommend house flipper 1 for now as hf2 has some things improved, but theres not many features as for now. Oh and also theres no pictures before and after of each house after you repaired or whatever did with it in house flipper 2 so its a big minus
I enjoyed them both but the first one is much better. Had a more laid-back feel to it too

Great video Sara! A really comprehensive overview of the new game. I think I'll wait for a steam sale to buy it though 😂

Is different not Better ( for me Is Better)

I'd like to have HF2, my PC won't handle the graphics requierements but one can dream.
How many hours of content is in house flipper 1?
pretty much endless. if you have the dlc s even more so. you can easily get lost spending hours working on a single house if you want and there's plenty if houses and smaller more linear jobs to choose from
I’m upset I can’t even play HF2 because I have a Mac:(
Ah loov hawse flippur tew
What better games do you recommend?
House flipper 2 is like the mobile game I think
I love them both
So which one to buy as of now July 2024?
I personally preffered house flipper 1 more. I loved assembling and now in house flipper 2 you can put a wshing machine wherever you want, and it feels like the sims.

Great idea for a video
This is such a good video. You definitely earned my follow!!!❤️
This was the exact kind of review I needed as someone who is deciding which one to play for the first time! Thank you! I'm going with House Flipper 2
Doo doo dooo
What if i didnt play any of these
Why is this game popular? I don't understand
You rebuild, furnish and remodel houses. Sometimes it's boring, but if you are stressed or angry, this game'll help you. It's fun most of the time
@@charlespc I wish I could buy both games in a bundle in a 90% discount ;-)
@@TrueRandomization Yeah, but you can buy the first one with some DLC'S on sale at that discount quantity. It's very cheap and I recommend it.
@@TrueRandomization technically u can but only on xbox tho since xbox is region free
