The Sims 4

A new player has entered the so-called "life simulation" market — inZOI. The game launched in early access on Steam on March 28 and immediately attracted massive attention: it skyrocketed to the top of the sales charts and earned thousands of rave reviews. The developers from Korea, Krafton, shook up the industry by promising realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, deep customization, advanced AI, and three large cities with unique atmospheres. And, as it turns out, these weren’t empty promises. However, calling inZOI the "killer of The Sims" still seems premature. Why? Let's break it down in our preview.

For fans of the series, and the industry in general, the release of a new Civilization is always an event. The iconic strategy game has never lacked attention, so when Sid Meier's Civilization 7 launched, it easily shot up to the top of Steam's bestsellers list. However, players were not happy: on the day of the early release, the game had only 39% positive reviews. What happened?

After getting to know the game, we can say that it is, dare we say it, bold. Instead of sticking to the old and proven formula, Firaxis took the previous mechanics and shook them up without mixing. The resulting cocktail is, at times, very exciting, and at others... well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Here’s our review of Sid Meier's Civilization 7 and it's issues.

The Sims 4 was released in 2014, but the game still remains the only full-fledged life simulator. Thanks to user modifications, it can be made even more interesting — remove annoying restrictions, enable multiplayer, and of course, add new content.
