Amazing game

I love this game it’s awesome the second I downloaded it. I played with my brother. It’s good on mobile. It’s fair it’s randomized. It’s hard and you need good strategy but overall, it’s an equally balanced game. you can’t pay to win, and the only stuff that you can pay for is maps and cosmetics. I seriously think that this is a good game. it doesn’t take up too much storage and is fun to play. Overall, it’s a good game, but there is one thing that I have to complain about the fact that you cannot lose money when using action, I’ve played for two days now, but it won’t let me lose money while doing action in the first game. Sometimes you would have to pay the bank or you would get a cinema and you would have to pay the bank not in this game in this game. You stay with so much money that it’s starting to lose its flare compared to the first game which is worth five dollars well, this one is worth three. I would definitely like it if they could make it possible to lose money while on action.

I love this game so much, it gives me a nostalgic feeling while playing. After reading other reviews I see I am not the only person who feels the game needs to be more versatile and spontaneous. This game is fun but almost every game feels the same. The job choices are always the same, I wish I could pick from a wider selection besides, pop start, robot designer and astronomer. Also it doesn’t feel like it matters what paths I choose when it comes to family or education. I hardly ever get the option to choose housing or families. When I do get to pick a family it’s not fun because I can’t pick twins or get a spontaneous tile that says “you had triplets”. It just feels like I’m constantly playing to get the little icons which isn’t a very interactive experience. I don’t mind how short the games are because they shouldn’t be that long but at the same time, I paid for the app and yet I don’t have any options to play different maps. The options for the different maps if you are going to make me pay for them, should just be separate games. This game would be so much more fun if the puzzle pieces I collected would lead to me unlocking other maps. I understand that the company needs to make money but I still think it’s ridiculous that I pay for the game and there isn’t any actual progress I can make in the game.

I really enjoy the original game Life 1, and based off the reviews for this new Life 2, I was a bit apprehensive . I have to say that the earning of puzzle pieces, gives an incentive and feel of accomplishment when the game ends, rather then in the original game, if I won, there was no real feel of victory and felt anticlimactic. There is still non stop action in this new version , just like the original , however, the one MAJOR flaw and disappointment I have is they did away with ALL the “player vs player “ competitive games that were such a big and more importantly , FUN component in the original version.How and why they would take out those mini player on player games, I’ll never understand. Those were a major part of the game. Now it’s just spinning the spinner. Really shot themselves In the foot making what could have been a Awesome new game into a decent game. Although, I can’t say I like it more or less, it’s just a coin toss at this point. If they added the competition games to version 2, then that game would have everything I wanted from day 1 in the first game. I always said they should keep score on players to add incentive to want to keep playing, and the puzzle pieces do it. Hope they add the side games to the second version, and I’m a 40 year old female saying this and I love playing. Just sayin.

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to write us such detailed feedback! As a long time fan, your suggestions are doubly appreciated as they come from an understanding of what The Game of Life is all about.The minigames in The Game of Life (1) have always received very mixed reactions - half of the players hated them while the other half loved them. For this reason, we decided to leave them out of The Game of Life 2 for the time being, until we can figure out a way to make them less obtrusive and immersion-breaking. We want all of our players to enjoy them and not feel like playing through them is a chore.If you have any suggestions regarding specific minigames that you would like to see in The Game of Life 2 please do not hesitate to share them with us!We will continue to improve The Game of Life 2 with every update, to ensure that we are providing our players with the best Game of Life board-game experience possible.

In the description of the app, it describes how everything is available upon purchase and that access to more content can be purchased with a season pass. That’s what I expected. What I didn’t expect was the game to be so wanting. I remember enjoying the first Life app. I was excited for its sequel especially since they seemed to have added other ways of winning besides having the most money. During the game, players try to gain investment points, career points, and happiness points on top of money. The entire board is literally made up of spaces you can land on to increase any of one of these. The only spaces that are different are action spaces and tax spaces.. On action spaces you spin for any one of these (including the possibility of getting taxed/losing money). So… there really isn’t that much to the game as it claims. That’s it.. that’s literally it to the game. Plus, I think the app might be a little buggy? At one point when I got the marriage event my partner choices wouldn’t disappear from the screen. So I had to continue playing with 3 large squares blocking me from seeing anything. I couldn’t close out of the app because then it would’ve ended the game for everyone. It was really distracting and made this game even less enjoyable.
