User reviews & Ratings

I do more gameplay than building in life sims, and I have been really enjoying the gameplay of Tiny Life so far. I also like that it's not super easy! I enjoy struggling for money in-game and having to work my way up. I also love all of the inclusive and queer interactions, and the NPC names are very fun. The little details like the bees and people being on communal lots and out in the world make it feel so alive, too! ❤️

Absolutely loving this cute little life sim! I've been desperately searching for a new game that would scratch the Sims 4 itch for me, and this definitely does the trick (and honestly raises the bar in a few ways)! Really excited to see how the dev continues to improve the game as time goes on. :)

Absolutely outstanding game. It's obvious the developer has put a lot of love into Tiny Life. I've played for a few hours and in that short amount of time I cheated on a significant other and tried to get the side piece pregnant, broke a pc in the library and got zapped trying to fix it, and called my boss to quit my job before going to work the first day but got fired instead lol The solo dev is still actively updating the game and is very responsive to feedback, and it seems there is much planned for the game's future. A few things worth noting: - runs great on my HP Pavilion Aero 13 (Ryzen 5 7535U, Radeon 680M, 16G mem) running Fedora 42. This is a great game for lower-spec systems. - adorable graphics - cheat codes! - much autonomous behavior - nice sound effects and music - helpful tutorial tips - mix-and-match colors with wallpaper and baseboard! - lots of customization options There's much to do in the game, especially if you're into building or remodeling. I did find that my decorating skills are just as bad as they are in the Sims 4, but that's a "me" issue. I had no problems figuring out how to use the build tools. This is a great game for those looking for a Sims 4 replacement. On a side note, the dev probably isn't going to sell this to people who despise basic human rights. Yay!

The game is not ready, buuuuuuuut that's why I bought it. To help the team work on it, because this is worth it. Sims 1 energy, but upgraded gameplay with a soul.

Nice game but very incomplete for now, so I would suggest waiting a while. The good : [*] Lots of varied and bright colors for hairstyles, eye colors, and skin tones. [*] You can choose one of three voices for a character, and then adjust the pitch, which is pretty cool. [*] No sex selection, instead you have a selection for pronouns and another selection for choosing if the character can get pregnant, get other people pregnant, or just not get pregnant. [*] Neighborhoods feel alive, npc tinies ai seems fine. The less good : [*] Very limited clothing, hairstyles and objects. [*] The colors for clothing and objects are VERY limited. Some clothing are available in bright colors, but others only in awful pastel tones. I really can't understand why they don't all come in all the colors. [*] Blonde hair colors look kinda bad (I'm not sure why). Also there aren't any very pale hair colors (light blonde, platinum, silver, white, etc). [*] Although there are many weird skin colors like purple, among the more normal skin tones there aren't any very pale ones (where's my vampire representation, I ask you ?). [*] Default sound volume is really bad. When starting the game for the first time and creating a first character and choosing its voice, the music is so lound compared to the voice that I can barely hear it. I had to reduce the music from 50% to 10% in order to hear the actual voice. [*] There are small icons in the corner of some clothing and furniture, but good luck if you can't guess what they mean... There definitely should be a tooltip explaining what they mean because I haven't the faintest clue. I can guess that for clothing it has to do with the occasion, and that's about it. [*] Lots of quality of life stuff missing, like when creating characters and switching between them, it switches to the first tab each time, instead of keeping the same tab (hairtyle for example) that was already open. But that's expected from early access. [*] No filters, sorting or search bar for finding objects. [*] It's impossible to move an item if it has another item on it (like a table with a computer), or in front of it (like a desk with a chair). Instead you need to remove all the items on it and in front of it, which is a massive pain. [*] It's easy to get locked out of some goals. For example, there's a goal where a tiny needs to repair items X number of times. But if you already have someone with repair, then that character automatically performs maintenance on objects so they never break. So you need to find someone with low repair and have them tinker with something until it breaks, and then the character you want can repair them. But tinkering increased their repair skill, so it will be harder for them to break another object, and so on. [*] Tinies often get stuck trying to talk to someone who is already doing something, and if that task is unending (like training) then they'll just stand around forever waiting to talk to them. [*] Killing tinies is very very hard. On the technical side : [*] Runs natively on Wayland °o° [*] The game actually works properly with a tiling window manager ! (Tested on Sway) I know, no one cares... But there are some games that are near unplayable (aka playable as long as you don't exit fullscreen or switch focus, otherwise all hell breaks lose) but that's not a problem with this game. I tried to crash it by repeatedly entering and exiting fullscreen, by switching it from tiling to floating and back to tiling, and by opening so many tiled windows on the same workspace that the game window was reduced to 1x2 cm, but it didn't even cause the slightest issue or stutter. [*] Doesn't melt my GPU and CPU. Doesn't create a black hole eating all my RAM. Yes that's a low bar for a game using 2D pixel art, but apparently that's still too high for a lot of games so it bears mentioning. I wish there was a neutral rating, I lean more towards waiting until the game is more developed.
