Critic reviews
- GameSpace.com7.0If you expect an actual Star Wars experience from Journey to Batuu, you will be left disappointed. It is more like visiting Disneyland or a theme park: sure, you are surrounded by Star Wars aesthetics but ultimately all of this is just a stage for a small fun holiday for your Sim, complete with activities, outfits and presents. After the vacation is over, you will return to everyday life with next to no Star Wars vibes.
- ZTGD6.0It really felt both simple and deep at the same time, and either way you play it, you’ll find something to keep your attention. Unfortunately, the controls are going to be a chore to use more times than not,and even after getting the hang of them, you may still dislike them. I know I did. If only the controls were as good as the game, I would recommend it in a heartbeat to players looking for that simulation game with some goofiness, but with the controls the way they are, I would suggest sticking with the PC version if you can.
- Push Square7.0The Sims has always been pretty bizarre, when you think about it. It's different to most forms of escapism in that it turns the monotonous tasks we hate doing in real life into a game, replicating the very thing most of us are trying to avoid by playing it in the first place.
- Dual Shockers4.5The Sims 4 attempts to bring genuinely happy moments throughout your Sim’s lifespan; occasionally, you will even find yourself smirking. However, those moments are quickly bogged down by tedious goals, a terrible HUD and menu navigation, and gameplay that is outright boring.
- GameSpew8.0The Sims 4 is now available on consoles. It's a revolution, surely — but just how well do those mouse-and-keyboard-heavy controls transfer over to a pad?
Gamer reviews
The Sims 4
I love the Sims games. I own them all. The issue with The sims 4 is that its only a brilliant game as long as your willing to spend lots of money on the expensive expansions. EA have really gone full corporate with this franchise. Its such a shame that this is how The Sims is now. I wouldn't find it so much of an issue if more content was included with the base game, but it doesn't and the base game is just mediocre at best. If your willing to buy some expansions then I would recommend this game. If not, don't waste your time with this one.
Great way to explore your creativity!
From creating your own sims to building their own homes, you can fully customize who you want your sim to be. You can be anything from an astronaut to a criminal. You can be whoever you want. If you have some money to spare I recommend you try this game!
Love it so much but it can get boring, sometimes I don't really know what the goal of it is. The packs are WAY too expensive and its improved so much by mods but I don't have a gaming pc and I can only really have one or two mods at a time unless it will crash the game. Custom content adds a lot to it.
Great game to play when you cant think of a game to play or don't have any new games. Lots of ways to go about playing the game and lots of things to do. Its pretty funny and makes time fly by.
