Rating and Reviews (Monthly)

Here you can see House Builder's Steam rating and reviews between November 2021 and December 2023. Steam's rating is relatively stable, varying from 81.5% (November 2021) to 79.3% (December 2022).

The 1.8K reviews Top 10% suggest that House Builder might be an indie success or even a small AAA success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
