Critic Reviews for The Sims 4
Sims are always entertaining, but they're not living life to its fullest in The Sims 4.
Once more with feeling: this is a fine if familiar base game with great creative tools.
'The Sims 4' is finally here, bringing the series to a new generation with plenty of new features - while missing many others.
The Sims 4 is both fresh and yet also predictable, pleasant, comfortable and rarely overstimulating. It's wobbly, and you can still see some of its joins, or hear the creaks as new parts settle into place. It's not likely to win over any new players, but it will satisfy a lot of its old ones. For many of its fans, it will feel like moving into a new home. They'll settle.
The Sims 4 may be starting to feel its age a decade after its initial launch, but a strong community and frequent updates have kept it at the top of the life simulator genre.
While The Sims 4 is a good first effort that will entertain goal-chasers and fan creators, it lacks much of the variety and humor that defines The Sims.
The Sims 4 is still fun with plenty of cool tweaks, but it feels somewhat empty without much innovation
Even in virtual worlds, variety is the spice of life. The Sims 4, for all its polish and cleverness, simply isn't very spicy.
