Really it all comes down to personal opinion. Some fans like a Tamagotchi to have lots of different features, and some would rather have a simple Tamagotchi for which they can care for without it being too demanding. I personally like a Tamagotchi to be somewhere in between, so it's not unbearable, but not too boring. In my opinion, the Tama-Go is just that.
I've had my Tama-Go for about a week now, and I must say I'm really enjoying it. The games are fun and easy to play, and I haven't tired of them yet. I love how they've introduced the Wallpaper feature from the Tamagotchi+Color, it really gives of that feel that your Tamagotchi's are living inside their own little home. At first I was a little disappointed at first that there wasn't an Item feature like in many previous versions, until it was discovered that some of the Character Cassette's Shops actually did sell items! I think that this is a nice little feature, and it gives more individuality and purpose for the Cassettes. As well as the Shop, I also like how each Cassette comes with it's own unique Games and Animations. Truly wonderful to watch!
I also see you mention the lack of the School/Job feature. We haven't seen this feature since the V4.5 Tamagotchi, and I'm actually quite glad. The only benefit the School/Job system provided was a new game (which the new Cassettes provide) and daily paycheck (which when winning a game on the Tama-Go actually provides quite a hefty amount of Gotchi Points).
As I said, it all comes down to personal opinion, but I don't find the Tama-Go to be bland in the slightest. I find that there are lots good about this Tamagotchi, if you look hard enough to find them!
