“I didn’t play the older games in the series, but this one still hit me with a wave of nostalgia. It reminded me of those classic MMORPGs from the 2000s, grinding away, leveling up, and actually enjoying the process. The…”
“Perfect game to play on the deck and watch TV. Almost 100% this game and I've enjoyed the grind. Game is definitely not hard and more of a time suck.”
“fun af, should be noted that multiplayer isnt immediate, have to grind the game for a awhile to fully unlock it.”

“First of all: I like this game. It's very good. The original Fantasy Life for 3DS is my favorite game for that console. While this game improves many things and has a lot of content, it falls short in some areas:…”

“[h2]Game so good, bought it for my switch too![/h2] I spent more than 200 hours playing the 3DS version of Fantasy Life and I spent a good amount on this one both on steam and switch (yes, the game has crossplay and…”
“The perfect Steamdeck game for someone with ADHD, even if this game absolutely chugs the battery. First hour - okay this is a cutesy little game about someone who went through a portal to a fantasy land. Second hour -…”

“I can't list all the ways this game fails to live up to its predecessor, but here are a few: The story and setting are uninspired and confusing. The previous game's very interesting world is nowhere to be seen, and the…”
“This game is undoubtedly an entry into the fantasy life series. Nevertheless, for someone who has played the first game with its paid DLC, this game just has some stuff I don't really like nor did expect. As the first…”
“I have very mixed feelings about this game. Yes it can be addicting, but it's also pretty lackluster. The game advertises itself with "14 unique jobs." When you see high playtime hours in steam reviews u might wrongly…”

“It's good. Tho, adding a non refuseable dream mission where you can't save is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing to do. At least give us the option to come back later. Had to power chop my game because I didn't have the time at the…”
“Looking back, did I enjoy this game, or was I just caught in the addictive gameplay cycle? It ruined my sleep schedule, was all I thought about, but I’m not actually sure it was… fun? The music was repetitive and the…”
“It becomes a love hate relationship in the later levels due to time locks and over all grind requirments, but if you dont mind that (and I clearly dont) it's a fun little game”

“Though it lacks some of the charm/character of the original game, FLi is still really fun! The main story quest does involve a lot of "go do this then come back" but the Ginormosia area is basically all exploration and…”

“So much to do in this game, it's crazy! If you want to kill some time and slowly build your character, you'll enjoy this. Constantly saying "one more thing" then bam, it's 2am. Reminds me of Darkcloud from the playstation days.”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“It's just a really cute game to unwind for a few days. There isn't much of an endgame to speak of, aside from getting the most powerful gear and decorating your village. It's disappointing that they haven't really supported the game after launch. All we got was a couple…”
— a player, Steam review · 116 hrs played“I'm someone who rarely compares games and tries to see something for what it is. And yet, I found myself constantly comparing this to its predecessor. Was it the nostalgia or was the original really that much better? After trying so desperately to fall in love with this game,…”
