Verdict (★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆)
With the increasing number of female-oriented mobile games, I’d say that Project Makeover didn’t offer anything new to the table, or rather, it was quite enjoyable when I played it in short sessions. Despite its stunning graphics, nothing else seems to be able to retain my attention (especially the emphasis on monetisation). It was quite a turn off really.
Just before I end it off, prepare yourselves for Project Makeover being an expensive game to invest in, but know that f2p players just gotta be patient! 💪🏻
