inZOI is a life simulator that competes with The Sims series or the game Paralives. The development was handled by the South Korean company KRAFTON.

Gameplay

In inZOI we watch the action from various angles. Most often we admire events from a bird's eye view, but at any moment we can zoom in the camera and lower its position.

Character creator and building tools

We start the game by creating a character - we can decide not only about their gender and appearance, but also pick personality traits. After our character is ready we must choose the city where we will live. There are available locations from all over the world - from Asia to North America. Finally, we decide on one of the available houses or apartments.

TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Meg Pelliccio

Life sim fans are certain to lap it up with gusto, providing they can overcome the graphical barrier. The real test of whether InZoi will reign as the life sim king will come with time, as long as regular updates happen and Krafton delivers on the promise of all it has in development.

InZOI is an innovative take and has the potential to be the greatest life simulation game ever. Fans of The Sims or the genre will undoubtedly love it, but if you're looking for a fully polished game, it may be best to wait for the final release.
