It’s no secret that I love House Flipper 2. There’s something so brilliant about tidying and renovating a tired old space, and forget doing that stuff in real life. I’m far too tired for that sort of thing. I’ve put hours into House Flipper 2 and its predecessor, and I have very few complaints to make about either of them. Apart from one thing: once you’ve renovated, there’s no way to see a “before-after” comparison. Until now.
It’s almost like developer Frozen District has been rooting through my brain, picking out my silent thoughts, because the latest update to House Flipper 2 comes with a brand new before-after mechanic. Oh yes: players can now enjoy a side-by-side comparison of their renovations before and after. Such a simple addition, but one that’s been sorely needed.
This isn’t the only new thing coming to House Flipper 2, of course. Dubbed the Fairytale Update, it also adds a brand new house to renovate — none other than Red Riding Hood’s grandmother’s house. You’ll need to fix up claw marks, clean away remnants of wolf fur and repair the interior to be as cozy and idyllic as it once was.
There are also 190 new items coming to the game, including new wallpaper patterns, garden accessories and various bits of indoor decor. Gameplay has been improved in numerous ways, too, such as better HUD hiding, simplified wall and floor repairs and a recalibrated vacuum cleaner.
It all sounds great, but of course, I’m most excited about being able to see that all-important before and after. Finally!
The House Flipper 2 Fairytale Update will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Watch the new trailer below:
Co-owner and editor-in-chief
Kim’s been into video games since playing Dizzy on her brother’s Commodore 64 as a nipper. She’ll give just about anything a go, but she’s got a particular soft spot for indie adventures, roguelikes and puzzle games. If she’s not gaming, she’s building Lego or watching Friends reruns for the 96th time. You’ll also find her work on That Brick Site and Space.com.
Launching later this year, Gabby’s Dollhouse: Ready to Party will let players explore the titular dollhouse and engage in fun activities.
Return to Silent Hill, the film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, finally has a cinema release date. Well, in the US at least.
Capcom has announced a Spotlight event for next week, which will offer more information on the likes of Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake finally has a PC and Switch release date. It’ll come at a later date on other consoles, apparently.
There’s bad news if you enjoy playing Beat Saber on PS4 or PS5, as support for the title on those formats is coming to an end.
Adventure game fans rejoice! Simon the Sorcerer is making a return this year, with Simon the Sorcerer Origins hitting PC and consoles.
