Hotel Renovator

Hotel Renovator is a game that should be handled with caution. While on one side it is a wholly unfinished glorified mesh of Unreal assets being priced on Steam at 24.99€, there are small signs of the game potentially becoming larger in future updates, or maybe even being fixed by its community's mods (something very telling of Two Horizon's intentions in game development). I am giving this game a very wishful six, with hopes of future patches improving on very clear flaws.

Hotel Renovator tries to convey the highs and lows of upscaling a hotel. However, anyone expecting it to be a luxury experience with chocolates left on their pillowcases will be sorely disappointed, as many minor issues lead to a subpar stay.

If you’re a fan of the sim/building/cleaning genres and games like House Flipper, you’ll probably enjoy Hotel Renovator, though it doesn’t exactly break new ground. The process of demolishing and refurbishing the rooms is relaxing and chill enough, as it should be. That’s probably enough, but I wish the controls and camera were a bit more responsive and the campaign a little less skip-worthy. In the end, Hotel Renovator was engaging enough to keep me away from actual cleaning around the house, so goal accomplished.
