Paralives is finally here, gracing fans of The Sims 4 with a viable competitor – one that folks already can’t get enough of, apparently.
Those of us with a penchant for life sims have been waiting quite some time for a new title to play. Sure, inZOI is still receiving updates, but it’s still arguably a bit empty – and sadly, other promising projects like Life By You have simply fallen to the axe of cancellation.
Paralives is proving to be a strong contender already, however, having only just launched yesterday and boasting a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with thousands of reviews to back it. It’s colorful, fun, and a cozy breath of fresh air for the community – so much so, in fact, that Paralives has managed to reach over 250,000 excited players.
The developers reveal as much in a new post, celebrating the nearly-300,000 sales they saw in eight hours and stating that they “look forward to the future” of the game. So do Paralives fans, I’d argue, judging by all of the feedback thus far (hi, it’s me… I’m “fans”).
Watch On
One review sees a player declare that they’ll “probably never go back” to The Sims 4, while another exclaims, “We’ve all needed a proper Sims competitor for a long time, and every project has to start somewhere. I recommend giving the game a try and supporting it – it has good potential and the right direction!”
Plenty of others cite EA’s own life sim, praising Paralives in the process – which I get as a Simmer myself, honestly.
As one such review reads, “For the price of one Sims 4 expansion, you’ll get this lovely indie game with ALL future updates being free.” They certainly do have a point, seeing as all of The Sims 4 DLC adds up to some $1,500 or so.
Overall, the vibes are positive, though – lots of people are pleased with the build mode, Para creation, and the fact that it’s Early Access, which means that there’s a plethora of features yet to come.
Only time will tell just what we’ll get, but judging by the Paralives roadmap, we’ve got a lot to look forward to – pets, pools, seasons, and all.
