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.

But Why Tho?: 7.5 / 10 by Matt Sowinski

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a chaotic breath of fresh air, even if it doesn’t offer a ton of things to do.

Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Alana Hagues

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is the strangest thing you'll play from Nintendo, bringing with it laughs and creativity in abundance. But even with improvements over the 3DS game, it follows a familiar structure that isn't always enthralling or hilarious.Tomodachi fans will certainly be living the dream with this new entry, but I'm not desperate to keep coming back to my island. A little more variety would've been welcome, but the customisation, and the thought of my cat being best friends with DMC's Dante, will have me peep in every so often for a little pick-me-up.

VGC: 4 / 5 by Chris Scullion

Like its predecessors, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is an entertaining collection of ridiculously random set-pieces, tied together in an easy-to-play life sim. It does start getting repetitive after a few weeks, but the exceptionally localised dialogue and the scope for heavy customisation makes it a game the entire family can enjoy regardless.
