My Little Life is a life simulation game developed by the independent British studio 9Finger Games. It uses mechanics reminiscent of the Rusty's Retirement game from the similar genre.

Gameplay

Playing "on the fly"

My Little Life does not run in full screen, but in a fragment of it (bottom or side of the screen), which allows us to play during breaks from doing other things. The mechanics have also been adapted to devote attention to this title only occasionally, as most processes have been automated. Moreover, there is no point in looking for events requiring immediate reaction or pop-up windows and loud notifications here.

Pleasant and prosperous life

Watching the action from the side, we take control of one of the little characters in the game. The choices we make shape their personal and professional life, setting the path they will follow. There is nothing to prevent us from going with our protagonist (male or female) from being unemployed to being a lucky person leading a prosperous life as a streamer, farmer or even a hacker.

The main cons of the game

  • Limited Content and Replayability: Many users feel that the game is relatively short and lacks depth, leading to a sense of completion after a few hours of play. Some players expressed disappointment in the limited variety of tasks and interactions available.
  • UI and Scaling Issues: Several reviewers mentioned that the user interface is too small, especially on larger monitors, making it difficult to interact with the game comfortably. The lack of flexible resizing options is also a common complaint.
  • Zone System Limitations: The zoning mechanics can be frustrating, as characters cannot interact with items outside their designated areas, leading to unnecessary duplication of items and inefficient gameplay.
  • Lack of Character Customization: Users expressed a desire for more options to customize characters, such as appearance and clothing, rather than relying on pre-generated characters.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • More Customization Options: Players want the ability to customize characters beyond just renaming them, including options for their appearance and clothing.
  • Expanded Content: Suggestions for more careers, quests, and interactive elements to keep the gameplay engaging over a longer period were frequently mentioned.
  • Improved UI and Inventory Management: Users requested clearer item descriptions and the ability to manage items more efficiently, such as moving or stacking multiple objects without having to sell and repurchase them.
  • Shared Zones and Amenities: Many players hope for a rework of the zone system to allow for overlapping zones or shared items among characters, reducing the need to create duplicate facilities in their living spaces.

Summary

  • Overall, while "My Little Life" has received positive feedback for its relaxing gameplay and charming visuals, there are notable areas for improvement that could enhance the player experience and longevity of the game.
