Ultra-realistic life sim inZOI just got a playable demo of its intricate character creator, and it's already a smash hit among fans - fans who already prefer it to what's on offer in The Sims 4.
As a dedicated Sims stan myself, I've been waiting for a decent competitor to EA's beloved series for years now - and considering events like the recent Life by You cancellation, I made peace with the fact that I might never see one come to fruition. inZOI is proving me wrong, though - the upcoming Sims-like gem from PUBG developer Krafton is well underway, with a brand-new character creator demo available on Steam now.
A recent Reddit thread highlights a similar sentiment, with the poster writing that "when inZOI finally releases, I'm not looking back." Judging by the comments, it's certainly a popular opinion right now - watch out, EA. "Sims 4 took years to finally be even somewhat decent and it still doesn’t look good to me anymore," reads one. "inZOI is just at its developmental stage and is still more interesting."
Personally, I'm also excited - but I doubt I'll ever give up on my Sims 4 households. There's room enough in my heart for many a life sim (hint, developers). If you're just as obsessed with the genre as I am, you can create "Zois" in the Character Studio until August 26. Krafton has clarified that all creations can carry over to the full game once it launches later this year, too, so go wild with it - I know I'm going to.
While you wait, here are 10 games like The Sims 4 to check out right now.
