    It was a great game to begin with, loved the fact you can buy the whole game so you can get all the different maps. 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 adultsIt was a great game to begin with, loved the fact you can buy the whole game so you can get all the different maps. 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.… Expand

    Boring and disappointing. All you do is spin, then pick a card. On the Fairy Tale board, the Actions it gave me to choose from were 'Bowling Duel' and 'Get a Gigantic TV!". Like... come on. They have all these boards but not a full set of specialized cards for each of them.

    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.

    Even more than Monopoly, The Game of Life is a board game from a bygone era. Once upon a time, the nice, meandering journey through suburban life and expectations thereof that the game depicted was considered a representation of a happy, wholesome life experience, but in 2021 lionising that seems incredibly passe. Sticking a "2" next to the title while not doing much to address this dissonance doesn't paper over the fact that very few people actually want to play The Game of Life these days.

    If you can get The Game of Life 2 on sale, it may just be worth it. Again, your enjoyment of it will likely be proportional to how many people you have to play the game with, but as board game ports go, this one isn’t too bad.
