Early Access Review At first Glance, the Game Principle seems to be very simple and one doubts that you will deal with it for too long.
But after you get into a Game, you want to achieve this Goal of life or that and suddenly you realize that TGL can actually become quite addictive.
The Alpha also runs stable, has not yet crashed with me and does not show any strange Game Behavior. For €10, the Friend of Life Simulations can take a look at it.

Early Access Review Knaller!
First Thought: "Oh Come on ... You let the Game out and see how it develops ... "
Pustekes!
Damn funny "Life Simulation" on top of that, in a turn-based way, just as I like to have. Thousand-and-a-half way to distribute its start traits without becoming too powerful. ' The Bunch of fun Events and almost infinite Possibilities be "Grand Life."

Product received for free Link to the full Review: https://www.zockger.de/this-grand-life This Grand Life is a time management Simulation in which the Needs of Happiness, hunger, Fun, Hygiene and Health as well as your own Money must be managed. In order to meet the Needs of one'S character, one has One week each, after which the Needs should be in an acceptable State, or there may be Consequences.
It is also important to have enough Money to afford Food or rent, for example. The Needs, similar to Sims, are based on bars (0-100%) Presented. As an Example: Eating a Burger costs $60,000 as well as 5 Hours and brings 1,00 fun,-0.50 Health and 10.00 Hunger.
While The Game offers a graphical Interface and is not purely text-based, I would rather call it a text-based game. The Game won't please everyone and I can only "warn" about it, if you're interested in the Game, be Aware that no Sims gameplay awaits you here. You will mainly manage Bars (your Needs) via Text Fields-without Animations as your Character handles tasks.
I played through the Tutorials in now 14 Hours of Play and once played and reached the Way to the 1.000.000$ and I liked the Game overall. Of course, the times and Values required are not realistic (E.g.: $60,000 and 5 Hours for a Burger), but the Game must be a Challenge and in my Eyes it is also gebalanced in this Way. There are Smears of me for the very monotonous Phase of Studying, because although I am a Fan of simulation/management games, this was quite a long and boring Period.
I'm looking forward to more Updates and will start another Playthrough!
