Sims 4: reviews of players and critics, codes

Almost fifteen years have passed since the release date of the first part of the legendary Sims simulator, which really turned the game industry. Before that, all computer games were filled with concrete meaning - you have a task to which you go, performing various tasks, finding objects, eliminating opponents and so on.

Then there was a series of Sim, which began with SimCity - a simulator of urban development. Here, the players did not have a specific task - it was necessary to simply build a city, maintain it in a viable state and develop it. The novelty received excellent reviews from critics and players, but the real success was achieved with the release of the Sims - this game has become a real masterpiece. In it you were assigned the role of an ordinary person, and the task was simple - to live. You could buy furniture, learn various useful skills, communicate with neighbors, make acquaintances, fall in love, produce offspring and raise children. And all this happened as in real life.

It would seem, how did it happen that such a seemingly primitive idea turned out to be so successful? But the practice showed that the game Sims has become one of the favorite with millions of gamers. Almost fifteen years later, the fourth part of the series comes out into the light. But is everything so smooth in the legend? Does the Sims 4 level up to the level of its predecessors ? Reviews of the leading game magazines Runet will help in this sort out.

Three best reviews

Of course, starting with the best results. The maximum score that was put on the game was 80 points on a 100-point scale. Why did not anyone appreciate the whole game Sims 4?

The critics' comments do not describe the new project in the most flattering way. This is noticeable even in those reviews that awarded the novelty 8 points. GameGuru, GmBox and PlayGround rated the developer's work at eight points. They noted that this project clearly does not reach the level of the previous ones. This is mainly justified by the fact that the developers did not bother to add anything new to the game - the series has existed for 15 years already, and on a bare idea it is unlikely to get out.

The first of the above magazines notes that the developers have released only the skeleton of the game, and then will supplement it with content, for which, naturally, have to pay. The second magazine repeats the same idea, although it notes that even this skeleton is qualitative. Well, the third rightly notes that the Sims series remained at the place that it occupied before the game was released. As you can see, even the best scores still slightly belittle the Sims 4. Reviews of other critics do not bring more pleasure.

ZoneOfGames

As expected, the new part of the game has worse ratings. For example, the magazine ZoneOfGames sent 7.5 points to the new game Sims 4. The authors' reviews can not be called unreasonable, because they complain, in principle, almost the same thing. The Sims developer made a pretty nice and convenient continuation of the series, but at the same time left room for financial maneuvers. To play a clean version of a new part is boring - very monotonous very quickly. Therefore, fun will begin only with the release of additions. However, it is worth remembering that the best part of the Sims 2 series has also gradually grown over with additions, which in the end there are more than ten. Therefore, if you are a fan of the series, buy Sims 4. Origin gives an excellent opportunity to enjoy the game. You do not even have to purchase a disc, since the novelty is distributed in a digital version.

"Gambling addiction"

As already mentioned, the best way to experience all the charm of Sims 4 is Origin (the original version). All comers could pre-order and get the game on the day of its release. But their development was a little disappointing. In the same way as the authors of one of the most famous Russian-language specialized magazines "Igromania." The evaluation of this edition is 7.5, but the authors were able to formulate the novelties most competently and clearly.

In addition to the developer's selfishness, other aspects have been identified, such as the elimination of interesting solutions from previous parts, the outdated visual component, and the terrible behavior of Sims if they are not managed. Naturally, the development has its pluses, but if the developer produces such a game, which begins to wait for a few years before the release, then it would be worth trying not to allow such a lyrical blooper. In general, this ends good reviews on The Sims 4 - reviews that follow will be either neutral or negative.

XTGamers

The XTGamers publication, finding nothing worthwhile, managed to write down the item "this is" Sims. "This is how the great game came to be: there is nothing to write about in the review that positive criteria include the fact that it belongs to a specific successful Series.The evaluation of this magazine - 73 points out of 100. Of the minuses, the authors sing out all the same self-interest of developers, as well as the most convenient interface.This was the expected game The Sims 4 - reviews do not really shine, but then everything will be only worse.

3DNews

Should I mention again the fact that the magazine complains about the minimum amount of content? Or on an uncomfortable interface? Or on the unchanged schedule? Nobody expected this from The Sims 4 - reviews repeat each other, and all the authors say the same disadvantages, and this means that there really are flaws, and they are very serious. So the developer should not think about how to get more money on the famous name of his offspring, but about how to make it more impressive and attractive. Nevertheless, the publication puts the rating of 7 in the hope that the additions will form a full-fledged Sims 4. The game should be more impressive and full, especially since developers still have time to listen to criticism and something to fix.

AbsoluteGames

Another respectable game magazine calls what the players see before themselves, only the skeleton of the future project. However, there is no justification for Sims 4 - the game, it is possible, it will turn out great. At the same time, it is already very expensive, and the additions to it will clearly not be cheap. The developer did not even try to hide or disguise the fact that the project is not completed, and this is not the final version of The Sims 4. Reviews about the game, of course, do not record this fact in the pros, because the same Sims 2 looked great without add-ons, Representing a full-fledged finished game, and not the basis for future add-ons.

GameWay

All the minuses, in principle, coincide in most editions. But it is GameWay that highlights yet another drawback of the Sims 4. Critics' reviews have bypassed the aspect of location downloads until this point, but it is clearly marked in this magazine. And this is really a big disadvantage compared to previous versions. If you had to wait a long time at the very start of the game, but then enjoy the process without any problems, in the fourth part each location is loaded separately, which is an obvious regression. For this and other shortcomings the game gets 7 points.

OverClockers

If previous reviews only described the problem, then the article from OverClockers is literally filled with righteous anger. Naturally, the main emphasis is on the fact that the novelty represents only one grain of the final development, but is much more expensive than the average full-fledged game. The article even says that the series is quite possible on this release and will break off - in part because of the ideological deadlock that this release showed, partly because of the ultimatum of the head office, which said that the series would cease to exist if The necessary amount will not be collected. The amount, most likely, is typed, as millions of fans will buy the game, despite any feedback. But with the lack of new ideas is unlikely to cope. We need some Sims 4 Deluxe to fix the situation, but meanwhile the score from the publication is 6.5 points.

RiotPixels

And here is the review, which completely tramples this project, comparing it with any of its predecessors. And if you do not want to read about the smoothed corners, which the authors somehow shield the project and put it to eight, then you definitely should get acquainted with this material. Here there is information about how once the great city, which could be completely covered with a bird's eye view, has turned into a set of small soulless districts, the transition between which leads to a prolonged load. There are a couple of words about non-player characters that are not endowed with any functions at all - they just live, grow old and die, and you stay. None of them even tries to make a living to produce offspring, while in previous games all neighbors were full-fledged individuals. In general, it's not just that the developers decided to cash in. The problem is that the Sims have become much worse. And the evaluation in this magazine was even inflated - 6.

"PlayIs"

Well, in the end, it's worth mentioning about the review from the magazine "ProIgra". There, the essence of the latest version of the Sims is very clearly and briefly described. If previous games allowed you to live a full life with realistic characters, then in Sims 4 any attempts lead to the following: you always have the impression that instead of a life simulator you play Barbie dolls. All this is very depressing, because the Sims series is considered one of the most successful in history. But it is the fourth part that may put an end to the further development of the project. Because the developers clearly took a turn wrong, went in the opposite direction, missed the progress and success. But now they are on the way with greed and greed - on this road they will spend the Sims 4.

The reviews of the players, of course, do not look so depressing, because many fans of the series are trying to justify everything they see before them and hope for the best. But a sober view of things says that critics are right - the series is clearly not moving in the direction of progress. And if things go on in this way, then, it is possible, a fifth of gamers will not see. And if they do, they are unlikely to be happy with this, because the way developers go does not promise the players anything good.

Cheats for game

As in the previous parts, in Sims 4 great importance is the codes. Nobody forbids you to play fair, but many fans of the series will not refuse to entertain and break the rules. As in the previous parts, cheats are entered through the console, which is called by the familiar combination of keys Ctrl, Shift and C. Most of the codes remained the same. For example, as before, you can get a large amount of money by entering the "Motherlode" code. If you are interested in the full list of cheats, then enter "Help" into the console, and from these combinations choose the cheat that you will like.
