The Game of Life 2 Reviews

Its fun asf reminds me of Mario party with the luck aspect but still very enjoyable. tho game length varies.

It's alright and scratches that itch, but some very low grade dlc. Just buy the base game on special and leave it at that. The rest of the dlc basically only changes the scenery. All board positions are exactly the same.

I mean, get it when it's on sale. Retail price for their expansions isn't worth it. But it's the Life board game digitized. They could have actually made different boards for the expansions but they seemingly just have different decorations but same board.

Fun with friends, buy on sale. You only get one map. Buy the DLC's on sale too if you want them, they're just recoloured versions of the same map + some different cosmetics - won't really recommend unless you want the skins and it's on sale a good amount.

Its a solid version of the board game to play with people online.

This game is a severely dumbed down version of the original board game. It's not really a game so much as a platform for cosmetic micro-transactions. Thumbs way down.

Pros of the game - Get to spend time with friends Cons of the game - Feels incredibly dumbed down compared to the actual board game - The spinner doesn't work unless you turn your DPI to 30K then it sometimes works if it feels like it - The game auto plays you if you're unable to spin the spinner basically making it so there's no point in you even being there Conclusion This game isn't something that you should ever spend money on. The fact that you have to pay money for something this janky should be a crime. But if you don't mind things not working as long as you're with friends then get the first game since its cheaper.

W game; DLC's Don't add new board spaces but re-skin the map, sound effects, & job titles. Playing more unlocks new skins, achievements are easy & AI takes over to do your turns for your so you don't have to wait on strangers to finish turn.

I have been playing the classic board for a while and got the starter bundle a bit after and then the ultimate collection. I can recommend this game it is a nice party game to play with your friends and you can use remote play to invite them ( they don't need to have the game ) same applies when you as a the host has the ultimate collection / all DLC's and only your friends will be needing the "base" game and you can still play the new boards as a host with your friends ( they changed this recently apparently, before your friends would be needing the DLC's too apparently... good thing they change that) The new collection is nice that has been released recently ( 2/6/2025) and a nice sale right away too It is nice that within the collection, we get new maps and new jobs / characters / outfits / vehicles but all the actions you will see during the game as in gaining the attributes ( happiness / knowledge / wealth ) are sadly still the same, it would be nice if they just add a few new ones specific for that map style / theme. And next to that it would be nice to have some unique points (locations on the board ) on the board for each unique level / map of the board that any of the another boards ( map / levels ) don't have. Like the lunar age board go to the moon trip or sweet heaven board, get a lifetime supply of candy and sell at the finish ( i am just naming a few things / ideas ) Since the whole board is exactly the same it would be nice to have some unique traits / objective / actions you can only get at that specific themed board ( map / level ) So after a while you will know at what point you will be landing or be getting since the layout of the board game is all the same in all the levels and same applies for the actions. I still recommend to get this one since you can play with your friensd and it is nice to see different style of board and new jobs / outfits and such but the rest is sadly still the same. I hope they will think of adding new actions and unique things to each theme of the boards they have.

They took The Game of Life, which is already a simple game with limited options (I love it though), and made the board 10x shorter with such limited options that you're basically not even playing a game. Still going to play it because I hate myself or something
