Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream?

9/10. With a few improvements it could easily reach a 10, but time will tell if updates will happen

I would give it an 8, pending updates. My only real complaint so far is that I wish Miis asked for help just a little more often. Helps move the game along and unlock things faster.

That said, I don't get a lot of the reviews that said you'd see everything after about 10 hours. I've played for about 15 hours so far, and I still feel like I'm just scratching the surface. Certainly, at least, there is a lot more stuff for me to unlock still. Part of it might have to do with the amount of Miis I have added so far (I'm only at 15 atm), but I wonder if the reviewers couldn't do the game justice because of the time crunch to get the reviews published.

I thought I'd be giving the game a 10/10 but honestly, I'm thinking a 9/10 is better. I'm just not as invested into it as I thought I'd be.

@bransby yeah i thik you're right on the last part.. reviewing games is often binging them approaching deadlines.. and that is behaviour ,although understandable, that doesn'r fit Tomodachi at all...

7 out of 10. It takes many steps forward but it feels like it takes a few back. No Mii sharing, silly little restrictions that can be easily circumvented, fewer Miis are allowed than the previous game, no Compatibility Tester makes relationships completely unpredictable and makes it harder to get certain Miis to bond, the lack of minigames like the Concert Hall and Tomodachi Quest, and the game runs the risk of being an isolated affair without much sharing or multiplayer.

Still, it has many pros that obviously make it grander than the 3DS game. Creating Miis is better than ever, an impressive paint tool that exceeds expectations, it’s inclusive without forcing anything one way or the other, you can set a Mii to be related to another Mii, greater Mii interaction in general, and this is a perfect game to pop back in from time to time. It’s also worth mentioning that, unlike Animal Crossing, you can have an island for each save profile.

So while it’s a clear upgrade from the 3DS game, it’s “just” a good 7 for me. I’m enjoying it, but I can’t help but be slightly disappointed that the game held itself back from attaining true greatness. Even if I had the art skills and detailed online instructions, I simply don’t have the time to invest many more hours into drawing Mii faces and custom items. I’d rather spend that time on other games. It’s incredibly lame it has to be this way just so certain naughty people can have their dirty content. But despite the game not being that dreamy for me, I’m still having a good time even with simpler designs, and the gameplay loop is still good enough for a returning Tomodachi player. I’ll be playing for a long time!

It feels like a mobile game the way it functions. It is dumb fun though and a farm for stupid funny clips.

I just bought it Sunday afternoon so I only have about 3 hours (and 1 hour from the demo) but I am loving it! Too soon to give a score and I never played the original

its a 10/10 for me!

I've put in roughly 10 hours and I'm still unlocking new stuff (3-4 hours of my time were spent in the face paint and island builder lol). I feel like I need to play more to give my definitive thoughts but at the moment, I'd give it an 8. Every time I pop in expecting to only spend maybe 10-ish minutes to check on my miis, I end up spending 2 hours! There's always something that keeps me playing. Hopefully I don't get bored with it anytime soon.

@beltmenot I dunno how it’s a 10/10, no switch 2 edition, no mouse controls. Far from perfect honestly

@DominionGamma I said for me not overall. in my opinion its a 10/10 but for you it may not be and that's okay!

It's great and I love it, 8/10. I do miss the concert hall and disposable cameras, and some of the dialogue repeats too frequently, but that's my only complaint. I will definitely be logging in each day to check on my little guys and buy from the shops.
