inZOI is a hyperrealistic life simulation going into public early access by end March 2025
Yes, it is similar to The Sims in terms of what it is about, but it is a whole two or three levels above what The Sims ever reached. The character setup is incredibly detailed and of an extremely high quality, as are the buildings. The gameplay is very AI driven and certainly delves into lots of life's normal events such as births, deaths, relationships, marriages, divorce, banking, working, jail, etc.
It appears to be a single player game, though, so nothing like you'd get in Second Life where you are interacting with real people.
The reviewer here is actually not using the highest quality video, as I've seen some other video that shows a lot of finer detail, and I'd imagine this depends on what graphics card you're using.
Also to be seen in other video reviews is the actual making of food. You'd see the actual egg broken in the pan, and being stirred until it turns to scramble egg. These types of detail in the game would be enthralling to experience.
Another point this reviewer mentions is that you can upload a photo of a real world object, and the AI in the game will convert it to an in-game object which you can use. That is probably a taste of what more there is still to come.
This is still an early access game, so I'd expect a lot of what is mentioned by the reviewer, would be addressed and expanded on in future. The game looks pretty playable right now, though.
Hopefully in future too, you could travel as a tourist to the other cities, and I'm sure there may be more cities coming as well.
The cost is expected to be about US$40, but this is apparently a discounted price, so this won't be any quick impulsive buy for most folks.
