Here we are, let's talk about video games again!
Today we talk about The SIMS 4, the longest and most successful game in the history of videogames (At least I think).
In practice, the series of The Sims goes on for dozens of years and fans are never lacking.
In fact, the field of interest that is going to touch is life in its entirety. If we look at the game in its entirety, including expansions, in the original basic game where the character or the characters perform the simple tasks of every day, the whole spectrum of what turns out to be human life is integrated.
It may seem very strange that sane people start playing life instead of living it directly, but as sales numbers say, doll play is always in fashion. Like the playful phrases that appear on screen during the upload, one of the elements that have distinguished it, so much to be copied by many other games.

Perhaps initially loved more by girls, it has also made its way among the boys, who perhaps see in the video game experience a manageable and more reassuring situation in the real world in which they live.
There is also to consider, the construction mode, where for architecture enthusiasts or those who love Lego and dolls' houses, the developers have created a building editor worthy of the largest professional program used by real architects.
The experience of "The sims", after all, is an experiment of artificial and social intelligence, which is improved on each chapter, based on the results of the interactions found in the previous chapters.
The ability to create your own PCs and to make them cross with those created by other players and those created by us, further widens the player's sense of being a God who defines the future of his creation and of his descendants.

In short, infusion, experimentation and control, are not just weapons, for the video game minds that inhabit the world of Gamer.
The game graphics do not disappoint, the immeasurable amount of mod and modder to make the game more and more broad and adapt it to their needs and tastes, gives him an infinite longevity, which does not lose shots waiting for the next chapter.
In fact, several years pass between one chapter and another.
The real defect of this game is the fact that it takes hours and hours of play to achieve small goals, as can be expected, reflects the times of real life, even if in reduced proportion and with the possibility of accelerating the time in situations without interest, which can be self-managed by the public administration and its IA.
Played well, trying to unlock hidden content and advancing level in the crafts, in the abilities of the PG, you get a good gaming experience, even fun, because the characters sometimes do things you did not expect.
All these features make it a timeless and successful game.
