best game i’ve ever played

I quite literally play this game every year. I just put it in my calendar so I can play it again next year I do that so I can forget some stuff and then relearn it all again

Good for maybe 3 play throughs.

The mechanics are difficult, there’s no clear path for careers. My biggest issue is actually with the characters. They feel stale, with most of them having only one or two traits. They’re also all exactly the same every life, so if you have Bobbie in one life, you can have the exact same one next life… looking the exact same. I would at least like actually random character looks side characters!

Like the game need more to do

I have had this game for a while now awaiting updates to things to do new storylines new careers. Please update the app and add more things to do. It’s a great app. Please do the same with Chinese parents. Both are great games

Exam mini game is unfair

The game is very fun if you like life simulators, the only problem is that I can get higher than a D in the exam minigame, and I’ve played through all the stories. It doesn’t matter what my readiness is, it’s always a D or an F

Great Game

It’s a great game, I play it a lot. I really like the different characters and that there are a lot of different things that can happen depending on what you choose. I had a slight issue with the game being frozen at the menu after the newest iPad update, but deleting and reinstalling the game fixed it completely.

Great game , just repeating loop is inconvenient!

Story lines are the best part of the game. The only thing i would say, dropped the rating is the fact we can’t do more. I would like to be able to do/choose more of what happens with my life especially when I strategize to perfect multiple things, (ex; when i complete fashion and bowling or all of the aquarium activities). The parents require alot but those are the best ones, because it gives you a quest to complete. I would also like for the clothes to matter and have more friends to make than just the basic two or three we see, going to college would be a great addition to the game as well.

Fun but uses a lot of battery

I had this game for a while and I really enjoy it. I like gameplay loop. My only problem is how this game is burning a hole in my couch (not literally). I know it’s not my phone cause it new and has a lot of space right now. I don’t know if there is a way to fix that but it the only reason why I wouldn’t give it five stars.

Need more stuff to do

You start off the game as a baby and work your way up to becoming an adult. Wait a minute nope you are only able to play until you turn 18. Is it worth the price ? I mean I guess you can play it endlessly, but it just gets repetitive after the first 3 play throughs. If you are looking for a simulator…. Then I guess? Not a very FUN one. The parents dialogue is only to give you tasks never just dialogue in the game. You meet people, make friends, and you do get into conversations with them. I just wish that was the same way for the parents. Does that make sense ?

Love this!

I haven’t been playing for long, but I’ve already finished so many lives, and I’m utterly addicted. This game relaxes me not to the point of sleep, but just simply feeling calm. Once I got the hang of it, I’ve begun to strategize how I was going to grow up and be successful, and still have yet to not work at a radio shack… but I’ll get there eventually once I find the right method. Every character I’ve pursued romantically/ or befriended is so sweet in their own way. Romance or not, each character has something to look forward to. This game overall has so much to offer, and every choice you make truly has a different outcome that are important later on. I would recommend this game to anyone looking to buy it, it’s for sure 10/10. I’ll definitely be disappointed when I finally meet all the characters and experience the cutscenes with them, so that’s all the reason more to savor every last moment. Keep up the good work devs!

Amazing game BUTTT

This game is amazing and the stories are genuinely interesting and are fun to play!! BUT it needs more. It needs more stories and more storylines, like after you finish the main like 3 or four stories, it kinda gets repetitive. BUT if the creators put the effort in the game could literally be perfect.

If you love RPGs where your choices matter, this is the perfect game! There are no additional payments once you buy the game and you can replay the game to meet different characters, make different choices and get different endings! Hope another one gets released!

Love

I love this game so so much. There’s a few things I’m hopeful that will be added or improved upon in a second installment. I’m desperate for more (bisexual) love interests. On one hand, I respect the game for having exclusive options, but on the other hand I like being able to romance who I want regardless of the sex I play as. (Think Stardew.) I’d also want the ability to choose pronouns, sexuality, the ability to randomize these… more clothing and hairstyles… maybe makeup options? Another review suggested pets, I agree with them! Bring on the pets!! Maybe there could be a chance your parents could surprise you with a pet? (Think the goldfish event but… good ending :p)

Fun but not enough

This game was fun and had a lot of potential I just wish it was longer and there was more to do for instance I would have love to see my character play a sport and get a scholarship also wish I could of followed them to college it would of been cool to run for prom king or class president maybe even take a avid or rotc class maybe get a job buy a car be born to a single parent household or a upper/lower class district also managing parental and mental health is kind of limited so I feel as though wants I master an activity an evolved form of that activity will appear for example football 101/ freshmen football/J.V/Varsity/Captain/All American. Maybe if you start in elementary (pop warner) you skip freshmen and go to J.V otherwise cool game

Love the game, but I can’t play anymore

This game is awesome, I love the gameplay. The love interest’s stories are really interesting and they feel like actual people and not archetypes. The gameplay is really fun, I love that there’s very little pressure to “win”; even when you do poorly in school or disappoint your parents it’s still part of your character’s story and personality. I’m able to give my player characters unique personalities and well-rounded skills. However, I bought this game a while ago and now I literally cannot play it. Whenever I try to load a save the app gets stuck in a never ending loading screen. This is in addition to the already long loading screens. Obviously this is a port of a PC game, but it seems like very little was done to optimize it’s performance. I play on IPad but I can’t imagine these issues are any better on IPhone. I love this game and I think it has great art, mechanics, and graphics but now that I can’t load my generations long save I feel cheated. I think this can be a 5-star game, but it needs issues sorted out immediately.

I have truly been OBSESSED with this game recently. It is so interactive. I am hoping that there will be updates soon more interaction with who you choose to build relations with, siblings, pets, more occupations, furthering you future as an adult.

GREAT GAME

I absolutely love this game! I only have a few suggestions and a few things I would change. I wish there where options to do sports or be able to visit your friends. And most of all I wish there where more characters, because after you play it for a while it’s just a loop of the same characters or people you have already interacted with in past games. Other then those few things I think it’s one of the most fun games!

So entertaining

I spent a whole day just playing this game and living different outcomes. All the stories and characters were so interesting but sadly very quickly certain characters and storylines replay too soon. I would love if maybe some time in the future more stories and characters could be added. I loved playing this and honestly I know nothing quite like it.

1 Sitting 1 “Lifetime” - I Enjoyed

I’ve had a great time learning new methods to get higher “Traits” but I’ve played through 3 times and got college dean each time I’m not sure if this is because I have a clear bias towards “Int Based Gameplay” in all video games that give me the choice to so maybe nearing 10k int each time is just putting me into the teaching sector? I struggle to not do int stuff but I’ll be giving it a attempt next time. TLDR: Great Fun, Strategy involved, Spelling Mistakes Occasionally, imo Nice Art

Not worth $5

It’s bitlife but more visuals, that’s it. Once you graduate high school, the game is over. You could at least go all the way to death instead of when they graduate high school. Waste of money.

Love it but I have MANY suggestions

One I think you should have the option to have siblings or somthing like that and I think you should make more games in the same art style, maybe like, growing up: life of the 20’s to show more of what it was like a long time ago or even life of the 80’s or the current year, with new characters in the same art style and option to have pets as well and I think another thing with the siblings is once you grow up you could have the option to have twins, where you play as both players or you could customize your character further (more hairs and outfits) and customization your parents and even friends (maybe).

Solid game but SAT exam is near impossible

The game itself is extremely fun and I love the fact that you can play as your kid but the SAT exam is almost impossible to get higher than a C. My character always ends up as a babysitter or RadioShack employee because I can never get higher than a D. I do fine on all the other exams and my preparedness score is quite high. It makes the game frustrating and harder to enjoy.

Amazing!!!

I noticed that a lot of people in the reviews were complaining about how finishing this game to get a good ending was nearly impossible, but I got a good score on my first run. I have determined that this is a game all about skill and strategy, along with a lot of patience. I do agree however that the SAT is a bit harder than it needed to be because I was 100% ready for it and still only got a B. I think that this game is a ten out of ten would recommend. (:

I want to see more…do more

I love this game it’s a lot of fun, I really hope they expand on it, I wish they would give you a college portion, an area to see how your friendships are going, and way more romance then what we have in there. It would be cool to see them expand clothing, hair, and adding make up. I’m glad they added a bit of diversity in the game. It’s overall a really great game but it can be so much more. It’s just like Chinese parents but they both have their differences to say the least. It is like like, it would be cool if they offered some of the life stuff in there like the house you’ll end up choosing. If there was more to this game I do think that it would be good for switch like a college and young adult section to chose your career and marriage and etc. I wish that it was more like it needs more spice.
