    It's fun for a game or two, but when you realise how much less The Game of Life 2 costs on mobile you'll want to spin again.

    The Game of Life 2 is a fairly faithful adaption of the original board game – complete with a few minor tweaks – and is an okay distraction for a few rounds. However, minimal variety, content and a general lacking feel of excitement leave The Game of Life 2 far behind other board game offerings on Nintendo Switch right now.

    It feels like The Game of Life 2 is a missed opportunity. Some nice touches and features are included to modernize the gameplay and add some extra depth to a very familiar game, but the overall package is let down by the fact that there’s just not enough variety when it comes to The Game of Life 2 boards, a criticism that has even been thrown at games like Super Mario Party. But this game doesn’t have the excellent mini-games or unpredictability of the latter series to make amends, leaving it at the bottom of the pile when it comes to deciding which party game to break out at the next social gathering.

Wish they would have put a little bit more variety to the maps so it was actually a different course on a different map rather than the same one each time. Loved playing it with my siblings, something happened though so now there is no more private games (we all are adults and live in different states or places) lately the private games have been letting in random people and says the code is invalid when we send someone the code/game invite to them which is some straight up **** It was a rather “cheap” game 20 for the original map then 30 for the whole thing with the multiple maps. Just wish they could fix the bugs in it. Also doesn’t help that people are now getting invalid password reset requests on their switch after playing said game. Really took a great game and some family game night and throw it into the trash. I recommend only playing the game by yourself now.… Full Review »
