The re-release of Sims shows what is wrong with large publishers and single-player games

    Despite all this, The Sims is worth seeing

    It says that in a market with too many options I still made the trouble to make the game work, and I spent several evenings this week in the life of my Sims.

    Even after 25 years this game is unique. It has the emerging madness of something like Rimworld or DwarffortBut it has a fast -acting, addictive hook and is easy to learn.

    But go to those twitch streams, and you will complain a lot about how the game did not really get everything it earned and a sentiment that what time where EA hoped was undermined by this lack of dedication.

    Instead, the cozy Game du Jour on Twitch is the Animal transition-S find Hello Kitty Island AdventureA former exclusive Apple Arcade that recently found its way to Steam. To be clear, I'm not knocking Hello Kitty Island Adventure; It is a great game for fans of the modern cozy genre, and I am happy that I have seen an indie studio that sees so much success.

    The collection meals is that we cannot look at large publishers such as EA to follow when delivering high -quality experiences with one player. It is the India that will bring it forward.
