The graphics in Gacha Life 2 have received widespread praise for their high quality, aesthetic appeal, and extensive customization options, allowing players to create unique characters with various poses and colors. Many users appreciate the improvements over previous games, noting the cute art style and the ability to adjust numerous elements without limitations. However, some players have reported issues with lag and navigation difficulties, particularly when using higher graphics settings, which can affect gameplay experience.
“The graphics are great, the adjustments got updated, we can adjust more objects, we don't have a limit anymore on how far the thing you're adjusting can go. The best part about the new adjustments is that we can finally flip objects the opposite way, there are so many more accessories and clothes to pick, can make custom poses and body shapes, and the last is we can have any color we want!”
“The graphics are amazing, so is the quality and I love that my characters don't get deleted anytime I leave the app.”
“I love the graphics and everything, it's an absolute piece of work!”
“I want them now the eye changing is really freaking out and another thing you don't have many hairstyles or clothes. The eyes are too big, bad graphics, and difficult designing. Fix it now!”
“It still feels like I'm still playing the first sequel... but there's one thing that's bugging me while playing... even though I set the graphics on 'low' it still lags... I can't properly gacha characters sometimes... overall it's good, I hope this game will be optimized on low-end phones soon...”
“Gacha club is way better, there's barely any new things, just new graphics.”

The music in the game has received positive feedback for its calming and enjoyable background tracks, with many users appreciating the variety and quality of the soundtracks, including nostalgic elements from previous Gacha titles. However, some players have expressed a desire for more diverse options and the ability to customize or change the music, as certain tracks can become repetitive. Overall, the music enhances the gaming experience, contributing to the game's charm and creativity.
“The lobby music alone I could vibe to it (and I have) with all the new added stuff I love it!”
“And once again they nailed the background music; they even have multiple soundtracks!”
“I love the new music options; the game has gotten me back in with all the new poses and the designs or clothes!”
“The music is fine.”
“It's extremely difficult to get the same color because either gives you scales and a code of what color it is which you can't type in to get the color you want, the adjustments are weird and different, it blasts this really awful music that just repeats the same beat over and over again, the eyelashes are much blockier and bold, it gives you too many things to work with which can be overwhelming.”
“This game is nice it has new adjustments but I can't seem to find the music changer and I've been updating it a lot but it can't seem to download and for the next update I think Luni should add some games like Gacha Club and Gacha Life because it might be boring for someone.”

The game's story aspect is praised for its potential to inspire creativity and character development, allowing players to craft their own narratives. However, many users express frustration over the limited backgrounds and poses available, which hinder their ability to fully realize their storytelling ideas. While the game is enjoyable for character creation, players are eager for more features and improvements to enhance the storytelling experience.
“I would definitely suggest this to my friends who love designing and story creating!”
“A must-have for storytellers and artists!”
“It's so fun to make your own creative characters and give them a story in studio mode!”
“Absolutely none of the backgrounds from the last game are available, and this lack of places your story can take place makes studio mode, which is usually a gacha player's main focus, kind of useless.”
“I can't make a story and animation too; this game needs an update as well as we needed.”
“There are not that many useful backgrounds for story making, and it also glitches a lot.”

Overall, users praise the character development in Gacha Life 2 for its extensive customization options and high-quality designs, making it a standout character creator. However, some players report frustrating bugs that can disrupt the design process, such as disappearing characters and glitches affecting props. Despite these issues, the character design features are celebrated for their creativity and improvement over previous iterations, contributing to an enjoyable user experience.
“The character designs are good and adjustments are perfection, as well as everything else.”
“This is by far the best assistance I've ever gotten for character designing.”
“The huge amount of customization allows me to create amazing character designs, and just like the previous games, I will use it to create the characters I later go on to draw in my regular artwork.”
“It's hard to play and make character designs; honestly, you would have been better off actually updating Gacha Club instead of the update that just got rid of the 'Gachatuber presets'.”
“I had a glitch that made the hat and prop constantly switch around, and my character designs all switched to the same thing. It doesn't bother me that much because the app is new, so it makes sense for bugs. I reinstalled the app and it's back to normal, but it highlights some issues with character development.”
“When I make my game go landscape mode, the settings, background, mail, and all other buttons disappear, so there's just the character designer.”

“So much more customization than the previous game, but it could use some performance fixes; the game lags like crazy even on low quality settings.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the removal of efficient features from previous iterations. While the customization options are improved, the cumbersome navigation and lack of responsiveness can lead to annoyance during gameplay.
“The game feels as though it took most of the features Gacha Club had, which made it much easier and more efficient to use, and removed them, making it ridiculously tedious to do anything without getting annoyed with the game.”
“It's very tedious, but that allows for very good designs!”
“Navigating is quite tedious.”

Users express a deep emotional connection to the app, highlighting moments of joy and excitement, such as crying happy tears upon its release. The experience is described as overwhelmingly positive, despite some technical issues with visibility, which do not detract from the overall emotional impact.
“This is the best app I've ever had, but I just want to say that I don't see my buttons for the studio or other things next to the studio. But I can tap on them, so practically it's like they're invisible. I cried happy tears when it came out; I screamed, lol!”
“But I cried tears of joy when I saw it on October 11th!”
