Smooth Spongebob ass game. The Walmart Game of Life. Almost notable for how little personality was put into the game's presentation. There's so little that could leave any lasting impression. Thematically, this game was walking on the balls of its feet, trying to make as little noise as possible as to avoid the wrath of a scornful parent. It almost loops around to being an interesting design choice, as it seems like it wants to be forgotten about as quickly as possible.
In terms of gameplay, this game is atrocious. They streamlined a board game that's main interactions were binary, limited and tied to randomness to the extent that decision didn't matter. They tried to sand down a game already needed more meat to the bone. The biggest compliment I can give is that games never took more than twenty minutes compared to the 90 min slog the original could be.
There's DLC boards for this game. The new boards do nothing to solve the game's problems and their price is outright predator for how little they add.
Why does this game get a 2 instead of a .5? I played it a bunch with my girlfriend and she likes going through it when we're fucked up. The Game Of Life 2's most redeeming feature is that if you're Porcelain high, it's not a bad time.
