Tomodachi Life is a life simulation that was released in 2014 (in the West, and in 2013 in Japan) for the Nintendo 3DS console. Years later, Nintendo decided to prepare its sequel, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, described here.
The gameplay in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream may bring to mind the scheme developed for The Sims series . We start the game by creating Mii characters, which we either invent from scratch or model on members of our family, friends or even celebrities. The title allows us to decide on their gender and appearance, as well as dress them as we wish. In addition, we can customize their personalities and voices.
The actual game takes place on the island where the Mii lead their lives. The protagonists interact with other characters and spend their time in a variety of ways. The range of the latter depends on their characters or the opportunities they have at hand. The friendships they make play an important role; our head in this is to ensure that their relationships with other Mii are nurtured.
We can learn about the needs of our charges, as well as the problems they face, by peeking into their thoughts and looking at their statistics. If, on the other hand, we want a character to be in a different location, we just need to grab it and move it to the location we want.
The graphic design of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is kept in a low poly style. Both Mii and elements of the environment were made using a relatively small number of polygons.

Loot Level Chill: 8 / 10 by Adam Cook
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is an inclusive, funny time that, while repetitive, is lovely to dip in and out of over and over again.
Cubed3: 8 / 10 by Jorge Ba-oh
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream feels like the return of a very Nintendo kind of magic, and a difficult concept to explain without giving it a go. This is the Japanese gaming gurus at their most expressive and charming, with a sequel that still embraces the absurdity. Expanded customisation and Mii gender/relationship options are a welcome change, as is the ability to have more direct interactions to keep the chaos flowing. However, the lack of content sharing and some 3DS modes are a notable miss, something that Nintendo should consider including as a future update. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is an experience that is truly its own thing - ridiculously bonkers, unpredictable and uncensored. Try the demo if unsure.
WellPlayed: 7.5 / 10
Easily the game with the highest meme potential of 2026, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream's combination of zany (if repetitive) writing and player input makes for a memorable time. The open-ended play is balanced with a steady flow of bite-sized activities for structure, and while the game could have used a bit more substance, it's surprisingly addictive nonetheless.
