I've been watching and waiting for Paralives to come out for a long time at this point. I really like the art style and having something built not by EA seems like my kind of thing.
For now, guess the sims is all we have!
Paradox recently announced that one of the studios they publish for is working on another life sim too. Don't know much about that, but given it's Paradox it's going to suffer the same issues that EA has with just so much DLC to make it a complete game.
Ah that one's called Life By You I believe. I watched the trailer for that one and I don't know... It feels kinda soulless. Like someone just said "make the sims but with better graphics" and now they're falling into uncanny valley with dead looking facial expressions.
I personally don't think it'll do so well as games like the sims really sit well with casual gamers with low end machines or Nintendo switch etc.
Yeah, that was my impression of the game as well. It didn't look very interesting.
