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.

Character creation

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.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has all the charm of the original Tomodachi Life. Thanks to the quality-of-life improvements and creative tools introduced, we have more control over our island than ever before. Unfortunately, the game also takes quite a few steps backwards, preventing it from reaching the full potential of the franchise. Although it left me slightly disappointed in places, the expansion of the core mechanics ultimately still makes it a better game than the original.

Cloud Dosage: 4.5 / 5 by Jon Scarr

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a brilliantly bizarre return to one of Nintendo’s most creative series. By giving you more hands-on tools like the Island Builder and Palette House Workshop, it transforms from a simple life simulator into a deeply personal soap opera simulator. While the removal of QR code sharing adds some manual work to Mii creation, the added inclusivity and refined humour more than make up for it. It’s an essential daily routine for anyone who enjoys watching digital absurdity unfold.
