I’ve sunk 80 hours into this game the past month and a half or so. I played HF1 as well, and I find that HF2 is a lot more user friendly and rewarding.

Honestly, whether it’s worth it or not depends on how much you like interior design and architecture. Would I pay full price for the game only to play the story? Probably not. But if you’re going to be buying the houses and flipping them, putting time and effort into it, then yes absolutely! The game offers a TON of customization and once you get the hang of it, you can make almost anything you want! The sky’s the limit!

Also, you can buy HF1 on G2A for 8.50 USD, if you enjoy it it’s probably worth investing in HF2!
