“Love life's greatest strength over Matchmaker is that with the casual management framework of the game, it feels less repetitive than Matchmaker, which, while presenting new combinations, had the same basic gameplay loop each time.”
“Love Life has a more dynamic feel, and the city-building mechanics, simplistic as they are, allow for more customization than what was offered in the first game.”
“Omg now the space between a successful date and getting a letter from a couple is filled with gameplay; omg I love it!”
