House Flipper 2’s sandbox mode lets you live the Millenial dream (when your real wallet won’t allow it)

House Flipper was a viral smash. You only need to look at how it crept up on everyone via Xbox Game Pass to see that – it was a high point in a slew of simulation games that took the mundane and made it excellent. There’s something pleasing about acting the handyman and tightening screws and fixing up window frames that feels like a good, honest day’s work. And House Flipper really understood that sensation.
But House Flipper strayed a little too close to reality in some aspects; it mimicked the horrible late-stage capitalism grind of having to earn your way to the top (boo!) and forced you to ride the wheel of capital until you had enough cash in your coffers to buy a place of your own. That’s all well and good as far as in-game objectives go, but it never let you free. It never let you dare to dream. That’s where House Flipper 2 comes in.
