Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a large crew or team-management systems may hit the one-person setup immediately.
- Players who want a tightly prescribed sequence of steps may hit a wall when jobs leave the method of completion open.
- Players seeking combat or survival systems may find the focus on customer repairs and cleaning too narrow.
Our take on Handyman
The likely bounce point is the open-ended job approach: customers set the task, but the player chooses the method. Anyone who expects step-by-step repair instructions may stall when deciding how to tackle a job, especially when renovations can include removing or building walls.
What is Handyman?
Handyman puts a one-person repair and cleaning operation in charge of customer-requested jobs.
The objectives come from customers, while the methods are left to the player. Completing work earns money that can be spent on later orders, allowing tasks that were initially out of reach, such as installing a chandelier rather than changing a bulb. Work can range from cosmetic repairs to knocking down walls and building partitions. The available tools include a paint roller, hammer, mop, hose, lawn mower, spatula, bricks, shovel, and a tablet for buying objects. Players can also carry items and choose how to approach each job. The work centers on hands-on repairs, cleaning, and changes to customer properties.
