Actual Gameplay or just sandbox?

[Casul Gamer]

I know this is a dumb question, but do you just do anything you want or are there objectives? The game looks cool, but I've never played the Sims I wasn't sure what to do. Even Skyrim feels too open to me sometimes.

I swear I'm not a troll. I'm just curious whether I'll enjoy the game. Or if there are suggestions on how to enjoy it. I thought about trying The sims, but that might burn me out on this type of game so I'll probably just wait until this releases

getting the sims would be a example of the basic gameplay. download the demo the 23rd to see the character creator. you will have less then 2 hours of gametime before you can refund it if you dont like it

It'll most likely be a sims-like sandbox, where you can do what ever you want, but you have the added responsibility of taking care of your character(s) and having enough money to do things. You also get to build your own buildings and design them however you want. Basically a god simulator.

You could download the base game of the Sims 4 as it is free to play and might give you the answer you seek regarding if this kind of game might interest you.

It's the kind of game where you live life without fear of failure. In other words, the objectives are those you create for yourself. Do you want to climb the career ladder? Start a family? Buy a certain car? Those will become your dynamic objectives.

So there's resource management where your character has to work to make money to pay for things? I guess I should try the Sims since it's free. I actually didn't realize this game costs $40. Idk why I thought it was going to be free to play

That's probably a fair price, I just feel dumb for not realizing that. I'm still on the fence just with Elden Ring Nightreign (which is coming out soon) and I'm a big Elden Ring fan so I'm def not able to pay $40 for a sims game.

I did enjoy the character creator demo tho. Like I said, the game LOOKS cool. I just don't know if I'll enjoy the gameplay. I was thinking about doing a youtube video with the game, but it's not worth it just for that.

It's mostly a sandbox game, but your objective as an AR Company employee acting as the god of the simulation is to make the ZOIs happy. Whether it will have a narrative or story behind that remains to be seen.

Well, these games hasn't got story or objectives like other more action games, maybe could set a vague one like obtaint the "dream goal" (for example reach the top of the job career), But those kind of goals are more orientative than an actual objective.

This "life simulator" you usually create your characters, and have to take care of their needs to keep them alive day after day. (like survival games, but much more easy).

Also you have to find them a job, in the sims, your chatacter can promote and for that has to learn or improve some skills (doing actions, like study from books, practice or training, etc).

Exploration the open world use to provide NPCs to know (make social frienship, or even romance that at a point could join to your family). Also can find other activities, shopping, restaurants, sports, parties, etc).

A lot of "charm" of this game is the house, you can build and customize it, is one of the reasons why you obtain cash with the jobs.

We still have to explore Inzoi and see how much content can provide, some people get "bored" of this game once they have explored all the features, other people feel more creative and enjoy it creating different experiences (houses, families, stories, etc...)

You may try check the 28th streamers playing the game, that may help you to decide if that kind of game is for you.

Hi OP, I too have never played games in this genre. I have been watching a few YouTube videos released since Mar 20, about the gameplay of inZOI and they give a fair idea about the "objectives".

Thanks. I'm going to watch Kpopp's video on it, but maybe I'll check out others later. I didn't realize the price when I started this thread so I'll probably have to wait for a sale (although if it's popular they might not offer any discounts).

I ended up trying the Sims 4. I did have fun playing, but mainly because I was recording a video for Youtube. I doubt I would have enjoyed it as much playing it privately (although I did feel like I had to rush through things and didn't have time to learn how to play).

It works. I don't know if I need the Krafton membership for this, but the game works for me.
The preset houses are very nice, I am not a builder.
