Here’s my first game review of sorts. Recently, I’ve been playing with Tomodachi Life for the 3DS, a life simulation game of sorts that lets you play with various Miis in order to create a wacky, but lovable world. Instead of giving a straight-up review, though, I want to try something different and just give you 5 key impressions I had about the game. These can be things I liked, complaints, criticisms, expectations, and even hopes for the game. For now, though, since I quite enjoy the game, today’s entry is going to focus mostly on what I liked about the game.
Without further ado, here it is!
1. The Humor- This game has some genuinely funny moments that really made me laugh out loud. Some of my favorites came from just ordinary dialogue, but there’s a lot of quirky humor that you’ve probably seen advertised and talked about on other websites. There’s some weird stuff going on sometimes, but I love it. It really keeps the gameplay fresh and unique every day.
2. Collecting- Like most games, Tomodachi Life doesn’t give you everything right up front. A lot of items and collectibles (which there are a lot of) need to be earned and others just aren’t available right away. The stores on your island will change inventory every day meaning that you’ll need to come back a lot in order to find the items you need. Much like Animal Crossing, it’s mostly up to luck what you get, but it’s always fun to go see what’s available each time you start up the game.
