Review: Tomodachi Life

For the past few weeks I've been frequently playing Tomodachi Life for the Nintendo 3ds. It's been out for almost a month now and every time I mention the game to someone they're like "WTF IS TOMODACHI LIFE?!?" and to be honest I still don't even think I have any idea. Haha. Imagine if The Sims and Animal Crossing had a baby, and that baby was on acid all of the time...that's Tomodachi Life!

Some weird-ass dream one of my characters had.

The main gameplay in Tomodachi Life involves populating an island with Mii characters that live in apartments while you check up on them occasionally. The characters will have "problems" which you will need to help solve. These problems include things such as being hungry, wanting an outfit change, asking for relationship advice, or sometimes all they want is to just tell you something completely random. When you help them out you get an item you can use in the game and the character levels up a bit.

My look-a-like!

Characters eventually develop relationships with each other and can even get married and have a kid.

Tomodachi Life is a very chill and casual game. There's nothing very hardcore about this game at all. It can get repetitive which sometimes makes it boring after you've been playing it for a while. There's not a lot of customization and you don't have complete control over your characters, you just guide them when they ask. But it is something fun to play when you just want to relax for a bit. Its entertaining to watch your characters hang out and interact with each other because you have no idea what is going to happen. It is completely random! I have laughed out loud many times because of something ridiculous someone did or say.

I give Tomodachi Life a 3 out 5 rating because even though there isn't a whole lot to do in the game, it's still funny and entertaining to watch your Mii characters. This is like an ultimate Tamogatchi!
