The Sims has maintained its dominance of life sims since it launched in 2000, and perhaps that’s why Inzoi has garnered so much attention. Between its incredible graphics and the surprising depth it brings for an early access game, Inzoi could go toe-to-toe with one of the most firmly entrenched franchises in gaming history.
That’s why the relative lack of updates has left many early adopters disappointed. When Inzoi first opened into early access, it had almost 90,000 players, but that has dropped down to around 5,000. That isn’t a sign of failure, but rather that players have explored most of the content and are waiting for more to be released and for more updates that foster long-term engagement.
Like The Sims, you can get a job, get married, and even have a baby. You can even drive a car. And one area where Inzoi definitely beats out The Sims? Character creation. You can spend hours fine-tuning your Zoi to look almost just like yourself (to a degree that borders on Uncanny Valley, honestly).
Recently, director Hyungjun ‘Kjun’ Kim shared an open letter in the form of a social media post that promised better communication with the community.
