Creating Miis is better than ever
+
Free-roaming Miis are a joy to watch
+
"Little Quirks" and focus on customization adds a ton of life
-
A lack of facilities for your Miis to interact with
-
Building up your island feels a bit restrictive

Customization possibilities
A beautiful and smooth game

Areajugones
It is an extremely addictive experience.
The character editor is spectacular.
The very amusing dynamics between the characters
It offers maximum creative freedom to create unique Miis, objects, and pets.
Some events can easily repeat themselves.
The character limit can be a problem at some point.

Miis lead to all kinds of funny situations.

Great absences like the concert hall.

Multiplayer.it
Emergent storytelling works and surprises
Inside, there are countless little scenes, always amusing.
It is not often that a video game makes you laugh.
It gives you exactly what you put into it.
There is a lack of a long-term goal.
The progression flattens out a little too quickly.

Games.ch
Complete Mii editor and comfortable quick creation as an alternative.
Pretty colorful presentations
Lots of space for creative creation in the world, fashion, and other things.
Wonderfully relaxed game concept, where one can practically do no wrong.
Humorous staging adapted for children
Funny computer voices...
... whose system appears to be technically outdated.
Standard actions are repeated quite quickly.
Progress too timid in the first hours

Series' goofy sense of humor is intact
New sim elements bring more depth
More options for customization
Great with a room of people
Not a lot of structure
Some Switch 2 features missed

Plenty of scope to customise most things
Lots of personalisation options
A smart way to check how words and names are pronounced
A bit of a dull design
Lacks depth
Mechanical voices

Nintendo-Town
Un jeu toujours aussi drôle et étrange
Des saynètes amusantes et des conversations absurdes à souhait
Un plaisir quasi instantané
Toujours aussi amusant de voir les relations qui se développent
Des outils de création à la fois accessibles et complets
Un nombre conséquent de possibilités pour créer l?île de nos rêves
Un décalage graphique toujours aussi efficace entre réalisme et Mii
La voix des Mii, toujours aussi drôle
Sans crier garde, le jeu nous apprend de nouveaux plats des quatre coins du monde
Un nombre de saynètes assez limité
Une sensation d?avoir fait le tour assez rapidement
Un manque d?interaction entre les Mii et nos créations
Tactile que sur certaines phases de jeu
Des chansons? que nos Mii ne chantent pas

Nintendo Life
Delightfully hilarious much of the time
Much more interactive than the 3DS game
Inclusive gender and relationship options a big step forward
Customisation and island building is incredibly expansive
Even with extra interactivity, the game can feel repetitive
Weirdly limited touchscreen implementation
Some aspects need a bit more variety

Beyond Gaming
Typical Tomodachi humor
Miis create funny and unexpected situations.
Addictive game in short gaming sessions
Deep customization
Few real innovation
The gameplay becomes a bit repetitive over time.
May seem a bit predictable in the long term.

Customizable features of Miis
Design options for food and company.
Moment of surprise
Progression system with satisfaction points adds an important level
Little funny moments to discover
No understandable conversations between Miis outside of short generic cutscenes in many cases.
The phrases spoken by the Miis are repeated too quickly.
Rather eclectic news programs or moments of "What's happening over there", instead of mini-stories with characters.

GameWave
+ A rare and very well exploited creative freedom
Absurd humor works, especially at the beginning of the game.
Up to 70 Mii, a fully customizable island
+ Flawless technique, smooth in all circumstances
Feeling of passivity that settles over time
Progression peu lisible, manque de repères clairs
Difficult to read progression, lack of clear markers
No online functionality, no Mii sharing
The creative workshop would deserve a stylus to be fully exploited.
