    Getting tired of all the boring franchise cookie cutter games i thought I'd try this. The story is drawn out, the voice acting, which doesn't happen too often, happens enough that i turned the volume off. It was a miserable game i just had to delete.

    don't even bother with this. it's a game that needs to be really played with a controller but most things require you to dash and OH right DASH DOESN'T WORK WITH A CONTROLLER!!

    The developers seem to revel in their weak game design as if saying, “Yes, we know that our quests are atrocious, enjoy!” No interesting conversations, no stories, just emptiness decorated with mediocre puns and overly dumb situations. The same emptiness permeates the main storyline, which riffs on age-old cliches featuring UFOs, Nazis, Sherlock Holmes and medieval poems. There is no thought behind this madness, and all these quirky characters don’t come off as actual people.

    I enjoyed my time in Rainy Woods, but I wish The Good Life would have given me more reasons to stick around longer. It’s a refreshing experience that encourages you to slow down for a minute and take the time to smell whatever it is that grows out there. And for SWERY fans, The Good Life feels like his most polished effort to date and probably a greater realization of what he had attempted to do with Deadly Premonition, at least in terms of free, exploratory gameplay.

    The Good Life unfortunately isn’t very good. It’s a thoroughly average game supported by a few good storylines and the personality of its author.
