inZOI very first impressions
Bought inZOI and played it for about 3 hours. 99% of that time was spent making one character. You can really go pretty in-depth with it. It does need a LOT more clothing options but given that it is early access, I think those will come over time. They have said that all content updates during early access will be completely free, so we'll have to see what gets added.
I popped into gameplay for a tiny bit and it seems VERY much like the Sims but with a few extra things. You can control your selected character directly with WASD for instance, and you can play around with the overall "vibe" of the town with sliders that affect things like crime, relationships, health, and more.
I was watching someone's stream of it and from what I can tell, it does appear that at least currently, the only way you're able to have a child is if you're married. NPCs have established sexual preferences, and you can't enter bathrooms that are for the opposite gender.
I'm going to keep playing it later, I'll let you guys know how it goes!
@beardalaxy interesting I saw the game and was thinking that this was going to be a Sims killer because it fulfills a large majority of what girls and people who play those types of games like but I think they could go a lot deeper and allow for a lot more customization especially for these types of people because they like to micromanage everything.
But if modding is really easy I could see this game blowing up.
Please keep us updated if you find any more interesting stuff or gameplay related opinions.
@Mr_NutterButter personally, I am still looking forward to paralives more since it seems like the sims but better, whereas inzoi is its own thing just in the same genre. I'll definitely keep posting about this though.
