And soon after a while the classic map gets boring. Good but not terrible. ### 2/5 — Rip Off! *2026-08-18, version 1.0.5* I paid $21.39 for all the worlds to open and you let me play it once, and then it was right back to the first world. Not worth the money! If you are not going to keep all the choices open then you should make that clean before anyone purchases that option. Rip off!!!!! ### 4/5 — Unfair *2026-08-05, version 1.0.5* I have been unfair to the Marmalade staff . When the game was acting up sometime back their staff was extremely helpful in getting the game running correctly. You couldn’t have been any nicer . Thanks Marmalade. ### 2/5 — Why allowing cheating?? *2026-07-18, version 1.0.5* It’s become really frustrating as more and more players are manipulating the spinner to repeatedly get low numbers, giving them loads of extra goes, ability to gain more bonuses, and dragging the game out. Such an easy fix but no… leave the game like this. ### 4/5 — Mooney *2026-07-01, version 1.0.5* Okay I get making a game cost money but 30$?!?!? But I love the game so much and it has no ads witch is why hi think you have to pay ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-06, version 1.0.5* Great game ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-06-06, version 1.0.5* Excellent ### 5/5 — I love this so much! *2026-06-03, version 1.0.5* Best game ever! I love all the game modes, the characters and how you can play with other people! Thank you to whoever made this game because I think I love it on here more then I do in real life! ### 3/5 — Game-play improvement *2026-05-23, version 1.0.5* Hi. I’m giving feedback for game play improvement. It’s worth the money for dlcs if this game changed the board pathway every map. So instead of being a copy paste of the original map path, it changed with each map giving players more incentive to actually buy DLC and have more fun when they do. I also think the game can be a little more interactive , for example being more in depth with the life options, if I get to buy a house maybe I get 4 houses to choose from instead of 2 or it can go to auction and all players can bid on it. I’m not sure how much more you can add given the nature of it being a “board game” but something like that. Lastly, I think it’d be super cool as either a mini game option when you hit a normal choice point or as stand alone version to have a sabotage mode. Kind of like “pummel party” to make the game more competitive. Overall a good game would just love to see some of these features , especially the path change, added to make the game more immersive. Thank you ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-05-19* Ce jeu est très bien.

Merci ! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-05-17, version 1.0.5* The graphics are perfect and the game is super fun it’s so relaxing ### 2/5 — 6.99 for this?.. *2026-05-14, version 1.0.5* I went into this expecting it to be an upgrade from the game of life that was on the app store years ago and i was wrong. the game itself is very short; only offering you MAYBE two minutes of playing time total, while the rest is waiting for bots. making their game longer and adding in more options to get married, buy a house, have kids/ pets or force your character to make a job change would be nice. Also i think it would be fun to be able to “steal” attributes from others players. the “risky” section needs to be fixed with other options- the game itself only offers you to spin to decide your fate, but i think having more tiles with “surprise twins” and that costing you money, midlife crisis and you pay for a new car, or win the lottery tile and you can spin to determine how much you win. i just think the game needs more variety and diversity for it to truly reflect the game of life and not the game of spin, pay taxes and retire (too close to regular life). if they’re worried abt younger audiences then they should offer different play modes depending on the age of the player, not the whole game being reduced to simplicity. ### 3/5 — Fun game *2026-05-11, version 1.0.5* Love this game, though I’d love the different world’s to actually be different paths… not worth the extra money for only different theme ### 5/5 — Game Of Life 2 *2026-04-16, version 1.0.5* This is a great family game. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fun time passer *2026-04-13, version 1.0.5* This games perfect for the family ### 4/5 — Please support Korean. *2026-04-02* The game is very fun. I think I could enjoy it even more if it supported Korean. The Nintendo version supports Korean, so please make this game available as well. **Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear you are having fun with The Game of Life 2! I have shared your suggestion of addking Korean language with our team to be taken into consideration.

The game of life isn’t worth $6 to download and play. ### 1/5 — Not it *2026-08-01, version 1.0.5* Too bad they went the cosmetic route for more money. Gets boring too quick, nothing more to do. Don’t buy. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-28, version 1.0.5* Deleted all games by Marmalade, reason for deleting games are rigged & are pure garbage . Do not buy you will be sorry . ### 1/5 — Bug issues *2026-07-11, version 1.0.5* Love the game but am unable to create a multiplayer game. My friends aren’t able to join and we’re all on updated apps :( ### 1/5 — Overly gay *2026-03-28, version 1.0.5* I don’t like how gay the game is 10 out of 16 meaning 3 out of 3 computers across 4 games chose to be gay… immediately following this review all spins became terrible. Spun a 2 6 times in a row ### 1/5 — Very Underwhelming don’t waste your money *2026-02-05, version 1.0.5* The game itself is very short, there are not very many options in deciding anything, it’s somewhat glitchy, graphics are bad, and honestly so much more. Feels like it got thrown together really quick as a cash grab. ### 1/5 — Greedy *2026-01-30, version 1.0.5* For 20 dollars you should give the whole game even the collectables not have too many micro-transactions. Regret buying this game will go back to playing the first game of life. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2026-01-16, version 1.0.5* This is genuinely the worst game created, the first version was way better and not absolutely rigged… such a terrible experience and NOT worth the money ### 1/5 — When you did your bug fixes you created more issues. *2026-01-15, version 1.0.5* I now cannot access all of the game templates I purchased. Two of them are partially hidden from view making them “unclickable” for play. Also, why do I have to reset everything when I choose a different template?? Which vehicle, which avatar etc? So annoying!! Please fix the stuff you broke with your latest “bug fixes”. ### 1/5 — Le faux Destin *2025-12-27* Une copie du vrai jeu d’hasbro, où chaque monde à découvrir coûte une fortune tandis que ces options sont gratuites sur l’original ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-08-17, version 1.0.5* Awesome game can’t give it worst ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-11, version 1.0.5* I love this game so much # play it every day ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-08, version 1.0.5* It is so fun u should buy it ### 5/5 — THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!! *2026-08-06, version 1.0.5* I’ve dreamt of getting this game but on my Xbox it was so much money and I literally just got this today and I’ve only played one game and it is the best thing ever. I love it so much. I just wish you guys could make it cheaper on my Xbox but besides that I love this game I wouldn’t make any adjustments. It’s so much fun and I love how there’s no ads. ### 5/5 — My fav game from childhood!!! *2026-07-17, version 1.0.5* I am constantly playing this game in my free time. So worth purchasing the extra worlds!!! I have unlocked almost all the outfits, vehicles & player profile photos. Super addicting!! I love the variety of different worlds!! So many different careers & homes! Please consider adding more worlds!! ### 5/5 — Life 2 *2026-07-15, version 1.0.5* It’s a great game to play in the car it teaches you similar to real life scenarios and helps you have fun with your friends in the car. ### 5/5 — Great game when high! *2026-07-13, version 1.0.5* My best friend have been playing this game together for almost 2 years together. It’s best when you’re high though. Great game, just wish there was more to it. It would be epic if they had more maps and more characters. Once you unlock everything it’s kinda….repetitive. , and the maps do get old. But overall a great game, my best friend and i love it. I did have to play for the VIP TWICE. Which did make me mad bc the VIP isn’t cheap. But still recommend. 8/10 ### 5/5 — The game of Live 2 it’s just a relaxing game when you have been on the road for a long time *2026-07-05, version 1.0.5* I love this game so much but it won’t let me tip in the name. ### 5/5 — Worth the money *2026-06-18, version 1.0.5* It’s awesome ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-06-07, version 1.0.5* It’s a fun game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
