Be My Guest - Landlord Sim

There are frequent ads. My device dims, making me think it’s malfunctioning or something, but it’s only an ad. There are only 3 streets. Once you’ve built all your houses, furnish them and hire your staff, you just collect rent. I went from trying to meet the goals they give you to suddenly not having any goals! It’s been nice to get some of the VIPs. Wish I’d read the reviews and known you only got 3 streets of houses! I would have bought more expensive furniture and stretched the game out . All I get to do now is to watch videos to gain more staff on some streets and collect rent. At least I’ll have plenty of $ when they add more streets, I guess. Nice concept. I agree with others.. the ability to swap out for more expensive furniture would be nice. It’s nice to have a variety of tenants to rent to, but stinks when you have to choose the best possible of 4 that you’d rather not have. Thanks and have a great day!

It’s a short game. Once you move into the third city and fill up all the houses with furniture there is really nothing else to do but continue in a renting loop, which isn’t really fun. It almost seems like the creator(s) isn’t done yet with the game and plans on adding more cities in the future. The game is somewhat gross. Every time you rent a house and the bathroom is used it becomes “dirty.” There are green and brown fumes emanating from the toilet signaling that it needs to be cleaned or repaired. There’s also a bit of a potty talk from the renters. I’m not a fan of that. Also, it’s impossible to get a better renter’s star rating than 3.8. The people who rent leave reviews in stars, but their reviews are pretty random and not based on your performance. Sometimes they leave a one star review with a message that says, “I just didn’t like you.” Considering that it is stars what catapult you to the next level, this is a big deal. It’s easy to go from one level to the next at the beginning of the game. It becomes increasingly harder and boring as you move up. Aside from that, the gamer’s creator(s) make money from ads, which are pushed every 3 minutes. Though you’re forced to watch only about 15 seconds because there’s the option to close them before they end. The ads to get free assistants are much longer. Overall, I didn’t like the game, but the idea has potential to turn into something better if worked on.

I managed to fill out every house with the mystery box included and get all player upgrades on top of that with the money I had leftover. It’s a fun little game for what it is. My gripes: I had a tenant get stuck on the fountain which spawns in the bottom left house in the snow area. I never got them unstuck. Dialogue and character names are limited. No idea how to get tickets or what purpose they served. Gems seemed to also serve limited purpose (cosmetics). Catching thieves is unwieldy, especially with speed upgrades. No idea how to control ratings. I ended the game between 3.7-3.8 stars, which stunk since I couldn’t get any of the better VIPs. It would be nice to swap out furniture. I ended up going with the most expensive furniture with what I could afford at that moment, so I had a mishmash of cheap and expensive furniture in each house. That’s all. The game’s good for wasting a few hours if you really want to, but there’s not much else to it.
