The Game of Life 2 is a fun take on the classic board game, and we thoroughly enjoyed playing quite a few rounds. While the game may be extremely basic, it’s easy to get into and it feels like an authentic board game experience. We would have liked for secondary profiles to be able to sign in when playing on the same console, as well as the option to play with more than one controller, but other than that, this game is a lot of fun for young and old. If you’re looking for some family-friendly entertainment, we suggest you look into this one.

Critic reviews
- 7.5A classic and nostalgic board game, The Game of Life 2 is just like real life–it is short, sweet, and you might get paid decently but your taxes are insanely high. It’s a fun game to play with family and friends without having to purchase additional equipment. Plus, bonus points for being easy to understand. Sadly, I found it hard to buy a house. But as I said, this is just like real life.
- 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.
- 6.0The game plays the same on those boards, though provides a different aesthetic and changes up the jobs available to match the theme of the world. Rather disappointingly, random events tend to be the same. It would have been nice to see a bit more creativity here. If Puppet Master can be my career in Haunted Hills, I’d like my events to be spooky-related, not just watching another damn game stream.
- 5.0Ultimately The Game of Life 2 isn’t a bad game – and should appeal to families looking for the occasional brief piece of entertainment – but doesn’t offer a slick enough package to justify its price-tag.
- This game brings back the nostalgia of a family game night with the updates needed to remain relevant and fun in our progressive and fast-paced society.
