    Not even the picturesque world nor the functional elements can save the game from its boring content. You would need stronger motivation to keep playing this game and after a while it fades quickly.

    I really wish The Good Life wasn’t a constant tug of war match. A series of steps forward, and equal steps back. I frequently would find myself loving the richness and detail of the setting, only to be taken out of it by an annoying gameplay mechanic. It overstays its welcome, and rides what it does well out thin. If you can get it on sale or on Game Pass, I’d say you might as well give it a shot. It’s not devoid of positives, but it ends up being painfully average at best. While I hope Swery’s supposed collaboration with Suda51 will be good, I don’t think I will be returning to Rainy Woods.

    The Good Life is a game with all the credentials to attract the attention of lovers of games like Animal Crossing or real life simulators. In reality, all the potential remains imprisoned in an unfortunately inadequate gameplay realization.
