Customer Ratings & Reviews

The game is extremely funny and creative!! First of all, the item was preordered and delivered on the day of release, the package came perfectly intact. As for the game it is full of possibilities, every little mechanic in it is fun to explore, character customization is fun to do there are so many option and you can even add face paint and make custom faces for the miis! The houses they live in also have many options for decorations and items within the game that is fun to play with! Not to mention the furniture and objects in the game are eye-catching, there are plenty of interesting interactions between the characters and I had fun discovering the game while playing. Overall great and excellent choice!! Can’t get bored while playing!! Worth the price!

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is really fun. It’s meant to be a cozy game, so enjoying it at a slow pace is highly recommended, and makes the experience better in my opinion. This game has gotten me to draw more since it came out than I have in years, just to make my Miis into characters I like. The artistic aspect is a fun addition to the game. You can draw on Miis to personalize them more, create your own objects, treasures, roads, buildings, clothing, and more. It’s got a lot to do if you enjoy being creative. You have more freedom in this game to design your island the way you want, whereas in past entries, you weren’t able to design much of anything. It’s sort of like having an island full of people you have to take care of, and you can watch their relationships grow or diminish on their own with little involvement. It’s really up to you how you want to play. The dialogue can be pretty funny, although it’ll get repetitive when you get into the later hours of the game. I don’t personally feel that it ruins the experience, but others might feel differently. Much of the game experience is repetition. Check on your Miis, feed them, give them things, create things, design the island, rinse and repeat. It’s an extremely relaxed game and it’s got some pretty silly scenarios and dialogue between your Miis. Overall, I really enjoy this game after playing it for almost a month at my own pace. There are a few things I wish they kept from the previous game, like the concert hall, but the creative aspect keeps me engaged, personally.

[Employee of bestbuy] This game is simple and hilarious. You create up to 70(!!) Miis, each with their own personalities. It is your job to sculpt their island, decorate their homes, design their clothes and bring them closer together. You’re acting as their God. They come to you with problems and you solve them, or you let it play out and see where it goes without your intervention. I, for instance, have an island of characters solely from HBO shows. So my island has people Tony Soprano, Rue Bennett and Dr. Manhattan. There’s no limitations or filters on who you can make or their interests. Your Miis can be as cute or as twisted as you want, please give it a shot! It’s so fun.

One of the weirdest and funniest games Nintendo has made in years. The expanded customization, hilarious Mii interactions, and chaotic island moments make it feel like a giant meme generator in the best way possible. Creating friends, celebrities, and random characters and watching them form relationships or get into absurd situations never gets old — at least for a while!

I bought this game for my girlfriend actually but man oh man this game is amazing it’s so much better than the original tomadachi life and it’s just so fun to create and play with your miis. I use it on my Nintendo switch lite which runs beautifully I love the interactions and the way it just allows you to make any one and everyone

Tomodachi Life is a very particular kind of experience that certainly won't be for everyone, but for some the idea of essentially playing with dolls that have a mild amount of their own input into the proceedings will hit in a way that nothing else quite does. You absolutely will get out of this what you put in. If you aren't able or interested in engaging with the creation tools, you probably won't find much here to hold your attention. But when you do and you reach a critical mass of your strange creations all talking to and about and with each other, using the unhinged language you've taught them directly and indirectly, the payoff is entertaining in an extremely unique way. It's a shame about sharing tools being unavailable, but the tradeoff of being totally untethered and unrestricted when it comes to what you can say and make is absolutely worth it. This isn't so much a "game" like other life sims or even other God games as it is a uniquely interactive dollhouse for toys you're making yourself. If that sounds intriguing, you're in the right place.

This game is so much fun! I’ve laughed so hard at all the things that can happen! Wishes, customization, friendships, dreams, decorating…it has it all and more!

If you enjoy games focused on customization this is the one for you. You have the option to make your island look literally how ever you want through the pallet shop. I have seen some insane builds where people have made massive castles. I have a few undead characters on my island and I made each of their homes a headstone and its all completely functional. The face paint tool is great id you're trying to make your Miis look as accurate to real people as possible or do something really wild. My Miis had a baby and managed to get the father's facepaint and ended up looking like a fifty year old man. The cut scenes are fun but in my experience don't happen often enough. There are some issues with family relationships such as if you imput one Mii as the child of another it will only recognize this relationship once the Mii who is imput as the parent gets married. Siblings without a parent Mii on the island also don't recognize each other as siblings in my experience. I've had a hard time making Miis fall in love but I've seen others have it go really well so it could just be my island. Overall I really enjoy the game and see the issues with it being fixed in future updates since the game is so popular but if those issues with the mechanics bother you I would maybe wait a bit until a big update comes out that fixes a lot of the issues.

Would definitely recommend. I have been playing it every day since it came out and I'm having a blast. Any Mii you want to create you can. Definitely a cozy game to play for a couple hours a day.

Great new version of the older Toomodachi game, highly enjoyable and playable for hours. Highly recommended, very customizable for all ages.

Overall a really great game. I am so glad this series has made its return, especially with the extreme level of customization this game allows. Only drawback for me is there feels like there is less to do compared to the 3DS installation of the game, but still a really good game.

It's a fun game about creating Miis and making/watching island drama unfold! Miis can be of family, friends, even characters from movies, games, books, and more. With unlimitited creative freedom, anything you imagine can be made. It is a very light game, one that you can pick up whenever you have the ability to and you can have fun for the time you play. Plus with the ability to create phrases and topics for Miis to talk about, you'll never run out of funny moments.

Tomodachi life living the dream is a fun game with lots of drama involving you, your friends, your favorite, characters and celebrities! My girlfriend loves this game. I maintain our islands infrastructure, and my girlfriend makes the miis makes them all have a good time. The game is very much like a sice of life anime in that the pacing is rather slow but it is full of feel good vibes. Praise the game! You can make all sorts of cookie freak-a-deeks too!

Had extremely fun with this game, especially with its high customization features. Perfect for anyone from people wanting to include their friends and family to artists! It’s a kind of game that u can expand its contents by making your own for fun to show its true potential. (Screenshots from the Nintendo Switch 2)

It was in perfect condition when I got it, and the receipt stickers were on a plastic covering so it didn't damage the game case. Online pickup was very fast and ready in just an hour. The game is so fun and I genuinely can't put it down. I LOVE TOMODACHI LIFE!! Tysm best buy

Great life sim game with a crazy amount of customization available for Miis. My only complaint is that there's no built-in way to share creations online.

This game is the best for watching the most bizarre scenarios play out. Ya want Darth Maul dating Queen Elizabeth, Sephiroth and Palpatine fighting over cheese, maybe BBNo$ getting married to A2; this game has got all that covered and then some. 10/10 would recommend

Such a fun game. Could have more drama/fights, but the interactions are so funny and random. If you've played the 3DS one, you'll enjoy this. You can spend a lot of time creating the characters, items, designing houses and more. Up to 70 characters per island, too.

This game is really fun & addictive. Highly recommend. The little miis are very expressive & can be rather random. Quite a lot of customizable options as one is able to literally create their own clothing/ food/ treasure to give to the miis.
