60 of 139 · most liked firstI hate not being able to recommend this, because I love the concept. I love games where you get to put the world to rights - Powerwash Simulator et al. - but in Monuments Flipper this ends up being tedium more than anything. The amount of time I spent assembling scaffolding may have added realism, but it also adds nothing to the game experience. The graphics live somewhere between "wow, that sure does look like a wooden beam" and "dear god those naked arms are horrifying why are they attached…

"I want you, a Creature of Destruction, to restorate very expensive Monuments?" "Huh? Restoration? Normally i destroy those things!" "Indeed and thats what didn´t want you to do. I want to change you." "You want... WHAT?" "To change your Mind and the will to destroy everything, Mr. Wyvern." "Thats a joke, isn´t it?" "No, i´m sure, if you restorate them,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not very fun. A lot of busywork that feels like I'm doing a job not playing a game. For example your tasks include picking up garbage, cleaning tiles, placing 153 (literally 153) tiles one at a time to assemble a roof, cleaning 30 tiles, by hand, with a cloth, one at a time.... Slowly. If that run on sentence was exhausting you have some kind of impression of what playing this game is like. If your dream in life was to be a glorified janitor this might be for you but personally I didn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of potential. However, I cannot recommend what would be an otherwise fun game for the following reasons: 1: The tutorial is a broken mess. The instructions for some of it are complete nonsense and some are completely wrong. Until they fix this tutorial level that you cannot skip, avoid it. I don't know who made the tutorial, but I hope they were not paid very much if anything. Without any hyperbole, I can state as fact that I could make a cheap power point presentation in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off, I really love these low-budget "simulator" games, but I really cannot give this game a recommendation, because it is just too rough, at least for the time being. The overall quality (especially the visual quality) of the game is very poor, even for the budget-simulator genre and the game is very short: you can finish all missions to 100% in less than 5 hours and then there is nothing left to do anymore. However, what bothers me most is that there is actually very little variation in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is rare to find high-quality games that simulate the restoration of antiquities. Excellent image quality, intuitive controls and many historical buildings. Archaeologists and people with knowledge of history will be especially interested! Recommend 10\10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the game is nice, it's not worth the price. The mechanic a laggy, the office and money are useless, you have no control over the order in which to do tasks... Overall I'm disapointed and it's only a 6h game and you are done...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A relaxing game where you rebuild historic structures in France without worrying about time constraints or budget. The entire game has a laid-back tone. When you select an objective, a waypoint will direct you there. Pick a rock and you’ll see exactly where to place it. It’s constant hand-holding that you grow to cherish when you realize that finding tiny pieces of artifact would’ve been impossible without this feature. You start with an old village house where you earn your first points in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The 3rd site from the end is very finicky to start, the last mission at machu pichu has a statue that will NOT come clean at the spray step. It stays stuck at 98% and even setting up an auto click mouse and slowly moving over every pixel of the surface from as many angles as possible for over an hour doesn't get it to move. Very frustrating being so close to finishing the job and not being able to. These 2 bugs are unacceptable. Don't waste your money!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished the game, and most of the times I was frustrated while playing. There are many things in this game that I feel like were not complete for a release, or where the devs said "that's good enough" but it wasn't. Just to name a few things that ruined the game for me or left me confused: - The menu design looks really bad... - During the tutorial I thought the game was unplayable because the game wouldn't take my commands (had to press alt three times to activate/deactivate the AR…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a trash game. Controls are terrible, this game was probably not tested by anyone before the release. The tutorial explaining things you never use anywhere in game and to be honest, understand tutorial is the hardest part of whole game. I wanted to uninstall it after 5 minutes. Developers have no idea how people play games. How can you ask money for such stupid and frustrating product? Also I upgraded the tools for money, and then I couldn't finish the map, because it requires money. What…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is, genuinely, not fun. Controls are bad. The tutorials explaining the controls are bad. 'X' skips the current tutorial steps, so if you misclick, sucks for you. Interesting concept, but terrible execution.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was enjoying this game so much for the 2 hours that i got to play it. Concept of cleaning and restoring is so satisfactory. However everything is ruined by game breaking bugs. 2 hours in the game and it suddenly crashes as i start my 4th map. I restart and i find that i have completed the game? I restart again and find that my save is gone and i have to start from the beginning. All in all. you can get past most of the clunky gameplay but game breaking bugs are rough.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was enjoying the game, Slow paced game to play when my brain is fried from work and I just want to relax. The controls are a bit stiff and janky but not that bad, Sadly I was about a third of the way thru the game and my save seems to have just disappeared. The account was there but the progress reset. I may go back and do it all again but it is very disheartening that I have to start over. I do recommend the game for what it is but just be warned a glitch may make you pull out your hair. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outstanding flipper game when you compare it with others. They have love to detail here and you can play it on a rainy afternoon for this price. The historical details are also nice to know! I was at least bound to it and encountered no bugs. The only thing that was annoying after 7 hours of playing it in one sitting, was always the same song. Looking forward for more maps. Good job devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyed this game a lot, just needs some quality of life improvements and minor bug fixes to be a great simulator game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WW2 Rebuilder does everything this game does but better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As the game is right now, i'd describe it more as Monuments Restoration instead of Monuments Flipping. Now with that said, the games still great!! The focus is just on the restoration, there is no selling or buying its just restoring different monuments. The level designs are great, and i'm excited to see what else they can do. I'd say its worth the price, I was able to finish what they have already in my playtime but it looks like they're planning to add many more. Gameplay -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yikes, avoid. Consitently buggy, with terrible UI. Far better games in the same vein as this, not even worth the price heavily discounted. There is no joy here, only sad jank and frustration.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've never seen a game both so satisfying and so frustrating at the same time. Satisfying because you clean and put in order but frustrating because it is so stiff and rigid it makes it unfun to do so. For example, when you get to clean a spot, like erase some tags on a monument, the game will automatically put away your tool, even if you have more of those to do a few meters to the left, and it does that with *every* tool, *every* time to clean a spot of something. This is so counter-intuitive…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game. And, to be fair, I don't hate it nor would I say it is a bad game. It's just not a good game. If there was another option between thumbs up or down, I would have chosen something in the middle. One of the big issues that I had with the game is the size of text in it. I'm sorry, but not everyone has 20/20 vision. The font is so small that it is difficult to read. And, by the time that you can really focus on it to decipher what it is saying, the text…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of the worst simulator games I have ever played. Tutorial is unclear what to do. When you search stuff the bubble pop doesn't pop up so you don't know what to search for; only fix is when you go to the office and load the map again. Never play this, don't waste your money and time like I did.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to this game, but was disappointed. The controls are clunky, and you can see a lot of things that need to be done, but you can't do them. I watched a YouTube walkthrough and I'm definitely not seeing what I should. Too bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Monuments Flipper a game about the restoration of monuments in France. We are not only restoring the exhibit itself, but also the interior. And all this with beautiful graphics and fascinating music. I liked the role of the restorer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a funny idea and a good implementation of it in the form of a restorer and cleaner of architectural structures. I will never visit in reality those places that are in this game, I don’t know how they actually look, but I can embellish them, I hope the developer carefully recreated the places.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY FULL PRICE, BUT STILL BUY It's a very close recommendation but that's for sales only. Still a buggy mess with some tasks requiring a magic pixel moment of hovering your mouse at just the right place to be able to continue. With that said, it IS playable, BUT... you do have to keep the AR for scaffolding in mind so I just leave it on 9/10. Overall, a quick time killer if you get it on sale where once you finish, you forget you ever bought it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is quite chill and fun to do. Controls are a bit janky. Had all achievements, they've decided to add more. Unfortunately the content needed to complete these achievements are not available. When reaching out to devs to get a reply it was bare minimum (acknowledged there was a question but no help).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its was fun but not really that long!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, so. I was kinda looking forward to the game. Decided to grab it on current sale (writing on 8th of January) However... I don't feel the game is worth the price just yet, even with the sale on. There's too much handholding on some parts, some mechanics of the Gameplay feel really rough around the edges, and in general, I think there could've been a few QoL things in it, like a wheelburrow to carry heavy things around without having to walk slow as heck. And I get that it's an early access…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Monuments Flipper had a great idea and potential. However the excecution of the game was poor. This game basically holds your hand with whatever you are doing. It lacks a challenge in all possible ways. It's basically a point and click game. The levels are bland, the mechanics frustrating (holding an item while climbing scaffolding is your worst nightmare) and overall there are bugs.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just turn your brain off for a bit and flip some of France's monuments.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Monuments Flipper is to rebuilding & repair historical monuments find and restore historical antiquities learning about the history on the builds you renovate See Monuments from around the world such as Notre Dame or the Eiffel Tower and others looking forward to more mission sites will be added in the future
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really nice game. The mechanics are being worked on but it doesn't take away from the game itself. I rarely find a game that teaches me something, but this game did. I also did some research when I learned some from the game. The developers seem to be highly involved in the game and I am looking forward to more content! Great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very interesting simulation game in which we protect France heritage by renovating monuments. It's so relaxing. There're many possibilities to add other monuments not only in France, but worldwide. Great idea to release this game on early access.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Monuments Renovator is a first-person simulation game that turns historical preservation into a hands-on profession, giving players responsibility for repairing structures that have deteriorated over time. Developed by Games Incubator and North Wind and published by Games Incubator and PlayWay S.A., the game approaches renovation from a different perspective than typical construction simulators. Instead of designing buildings from scratch, the objective is to preserve existing monuments,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't even call this AI Slop since AI would 100% do a better job than this mess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alors comment dire... Je suis un sucker de première pour ce genre de trucs. Le problème ? Le problème c'est que finir la première tâche du premier niveau... est impossible. La tâche en question ? ... ... ... REGARDER DEUX PUTAINS DE MAISONS, ET MÊME ÇA ÇA FOIRE. Autre chose ? Refund. Parce qu'il y a un peu des limites. Là on est même pas dans de l'early access, on est dans du foetus fini à la pisse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the download glitches the first couple seconds that make it were you cant progress further
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →full of bugs and cant go above 60fps, the biggest money ive wasted this year purchasing this crap
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game can be a little jank at times, but I had a lot of fun and it was really satisfying.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really nice game! While the mechanics are still being worked on, it doesn’t take away from the overall experience. I rarely come across a game that actually teaches me something, but this one did—and it even encouraged me to do some research on my own! The developers seem highly involved and committed to improving the game, which makes me excited for future content. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game for playing while shooting the ♥♥♥♥ with friends, I love tidying and being told what to do the tutorial level is a bit ♥♥♥♥, and the music is unlistenable

unlabelledView post →Great game that is exactly what this type of simulation should be.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very short (I hope they add more in the future. Loads of options), but it's relaxing enough. There's definitely room for improvement, but I don't regret buying it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just paid for the full version after playing the Demo and enjoying it. I like this game. It's different and interesting. My only sad thing is after playing 5 hours I got zero achievements which I find really odd since I finished a few locations. But other than that I had fun playing and will play more later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHAT A BIG MESS! Super low quality game. UI is awful, graphics are meh and gameplay is stupid. The game is short as well. DO NOT BUY!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it is a good game to start with, but with the early access, I already finished it. and dont think you can costumize anything. it is just a step for step game. if that is your gig, then this is your game, if not, beter play house flipper. hopefully they will expand the game more in the future, with more maps. there are a lot of monuments to go to. think about the colloseum, the statue of liberty, maybe a dutch windmill. and what about the arc the triumph, or maybe even the sagrada familia.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Some spoilers included* Since this is an EA game, and it's literally it's second EA day, I am putting a thumbs up tentatively, because I like the game and there aren't any deal-breakers yet for me. But the game needs some serious polishing and doesn't yet have that finished, fleshy look. There are also quite a few things that while, as I said, not deal-breakers, they are rather annoying. - The biggest one for me is that there is absolutely zero challenge in the game. The game itself…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I see the Developers are replying to reviews with "We are going for realism". Which would be great if the game was FUN to play but its not. Its tedious and boring. Games are meant to be fun and make you want to play them. This feels like a unpaid second job which you hate.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On the one hand, it was a very relaxing experience. On the other... Okay, look. While the game initially seems to have more to it than other ___ Renovator games, it stands as another example that I don't know how to spend money responsibly. Run up to thing. Click thing. Repeat. It does have a few aspects that go beyond JUST that, but restoration in general just feels samey. Everything works the same as everything else and the only thing that really changes is what you have to click on. By the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →finally, I found something fresh and new among the games, the game immediately sucked me in, I won't be surprised if the game becomes a bestseller or just popular. I advise those who just want to relax or kill time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simulators have been gaining popularity lately. This time it is a simulator of a restovrator. An interesting idea. At least this game can bring real benefits. A lot of interesting mechanics and details. 10/10 burning Notre-Dame de Paris

I am like WTF, how am I supposed to fix the door when their door turned into the invisible man . Another problem is that the game has no mouse sensitivity option, for some reason, I cannot move my cursor…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I AM ENJOYING THE GAME.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you know why the achievement completion rate in the Notre-Dame and Great Wall chapters dropped by 15%? Because in the current version, the Great Wall level simply won't launch at all. On top of that, completing some quests requires spending coins, forcing you to replay chapters over and over. All of this makes the gameplay experience pretty miserable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too many bugs, and the game is poorly designed and made, which makes it much less relaxing than it should be. The game is also not very well optimized. Way too many recycled mechanics. I know it's just a simulator, so I wasn't expecting much, but it's the worst one I've ever played.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, I like it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are better games in this genre, but if you like this kind of simulator, buy it – especially if Monuments Renovator is on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Last job was the most annoying and bug filled mess.
