Early reviews for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, the Nintendo Switch sequel to the 3DS cult hit, have landed at 77 on Metacritic. The game launches today, roughly 12 years after its predecessor. Critics praise its quirky Miis and customization but lament limited online sharing.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream arrives as a continuation of the social simulator's legacy, with reviewers highlighting its potential for bizarre, player-driven stories. IGN's Logan Plant described sharing Miis as restricted to local wireless, calling it an enormous downgrade from the 3DS version's QR code system that allowed global exchanges. Game Informer's Brian Shea echoed this, noting the lack of official sharing feels shortsighted for a game built on oddball moments suited to social media.
