This review is probably biased, but I really love this game. This is a life simulation game, where you watch an island of Miis interact with each other. You solve their problems and get items or money to spend on items in return. At it's core, this is a game about keeping your Miis happy and collecting things. The game is not without problems however. The game can be a too bit simplistic, every problem can be solved within seconds. Also, Miis can't have **** relationships, which feels like a massive misstep, especially as the game encourages you to make the first Mii a lookalike of yourself. This means some people will not be able to play the game authentically. However, the game is so charming, it really makes up for this massive shortcoming in my eyes. I love that the Miis will show different emotions in response to things. They will be angry after a fight, sad after a rejection or breakup, happy after making a new friend etc. I think this game helped me manage my own emotions somewhat. Finally, I love the music and the general vibes of the game. I like that you can visit places like the beach, even when no-one is there and it will say "There seems to be nobody here now...". Most games would just grey out the option. Needless to say, I feel this game is overlooked. I hope they release a sequel someday.
Extremely charming and calm game. Quite similar to Animal Crossing, As a kid, I put so many hours into this game. The combination of just being a spectator, simultaneously customizing and arranging different things for the Miis on the island works really well. It’s like a fish tank of Miis, and you can customize them however you like, and just watch their fun personalities. Makes you revisit every day to see what they are up to. So cute snd charming. This game is gold. I really hope Nintendo will make one for the switch.
Tomodachi Life is the new life simulator game from Nintendo. But that doesn’t mean a boring 9-5 office simulator, it means more mad and crazy Japanese things to do with your Mii kinda game. Which, as far as anyone is concerned, equals awesome.
Tomodachi Life is not really a life simulator. If you were expecting a sort of Animal Crossing with Miis, you are going for a huge disappointment. As it is, Tomodachi Life is a fun game to play for a few minutes once in a while: it gets pointless and repetitive fast, but it's always fun to see Miis interact and do weird things.
A delightfully strange and often surprising piece of work; it’s more plaything than game, perhaps, but the smiles it generates will be broad and frequent.
Tomodachi Life does its best to cut through a lot of society's hateful garbage to produce an incredible island paradise of distraction and more often than not succeeds, but not without stumbling all over itself, revealing too many embarrassing inner thoughts.
Un juego divertido, no es para estar largas jornadas de juego, pero es un juego entretenido y poco más, no destaca nada, excepto el genial uso de los miis.
If you want to pick up a simulator game for Nintendo 3ds, consider picking up Animal Crossing New Leaf instead. This isn't from a biased standpoint either, as I actually experienced Tomodachi Life BEFORE ACNL.
In terms of anything you can actually do in this game, it's extremely limited. Yes, you can buy lots of clothing and food to feed your islanders. In fact, I appreciate this game for the amount of variety they put into the foods, including lots of foods from different countries and backgrounds, even some I never heard of! However, the set back is that there's not much control you have over the food other than to feed it to your characters. Whatever food your character likes is purely RNG and if your character doesn't like the food OR clothing you give it, your money goes down the drain.
The leveling system is quite weird, since there's basically no purpose for it once you figure out what you intend to get. The most useful thing you can get from leveling up is a song to sing, which you can edit your own lyrics. I do enjoy that part of the game, but the lead up to it feels meaningless. You feed your Mii a few foods that they like, and now they're a musical prodigy. Supposedly, if not everything was actually handed to you, and instead you had to actually do something it could have made the game more intriguing to play.
Other than that, I have no hard feelings towards Tomodachi Life. It's very unlikely it's ever going to be ported to Nintendo Switch.
It's the sort of game you're meant to check up on, but not really play.
It looked fun but I regret buying the game.. I put mine up for sale now, it got too annoying.
It's cute but there's no 'real' thing to do, no goals and you can't plan the way things are going, it's just like watching a Mii movie or something.
