“I've spent much of my life waiting for a version of Life that rivals the Hasbro 1998 cereal box game. Although this one doesn't quite hit that mark, it's a really enjoyable and bite-sized version of the game. I love all…”
“Proof That I’m Simply Better at Life 👍 I bought The Game of Life 2 expecting a casual board game adaptation to mess around with for a few hours. Instead, I discovered that I am apparently built different. Every time I…”
“Super light, but fun if you want something to do while listening to music. Worlds are cute and the achievements unlock new outfits, vehicles, and such, so there is a pleasant reason to come back. interface is easy.”

“The game is a lot of fun, and yet, at the same time I can't understand why people moan about it. Space Bar works the wheel, hold it down for longer spins. The game itself is, as I said, a lot of fun, me and my…”
“Decent game concept, wished there were more to the game but it is what it is. - Definitely will get bored of it after a few rounds. - A game that I will occasionally revisit when playing with friends i guess ++ Saw that…”

“Super fun, I adore the many different maps and unlockables - as I always do with Marmalade Studio games! If you're a fan of their other games, especially the AUs upon AUs, I definitely recommend this.”

“While the developers put a lot of effort into graphic design, the length of the tracks are way too short compared to the original. Additionally, I find this to be not as good as its predecessor because it omits the…”

“Not something I would spend hours on at once, but it is fun for a game or two. I usually go to this when I get titled or need a break in between games.”

“Extremely repetetive. They reskinned the first map like 10 times, added no extra gameplay to them and decided to call it DLCs. IF you play for 10 min then congrats, you have experienced the entire game already. The only…”
“There really isnt much to this game, you just spin a wheel and hope that you get good rng. If you are looking for party games to play with friends there are waaaaaay better games out there.”

“I don't know if this is supposed to be a phone game or what, but it's practically impossible to spin the wheel using the mouse. It's slow and annoying.”
“really hate how the wheel on game of life 2 is so hard to spin, for people on touchpad laptop instead of mouse. its so easy on game of life 1, you just spin anywhere, any direction, any speed and it works while in TGOL2…”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“If you can't spin the wheel fast enough, you can press and hold the space bar to spin”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“I really enjoy the game itself. It’s genuinely fun to play. However, I’m very disappointed with the “Remote Play Together” feature. It doesn’t seem to work properly, which is frustrating because it’s one of the main reasons I bought the game. At the moment, it feels misleading…”
