“I bought Inzoi on Launch and yes it was very empty and boring. I played maybe 5hrs in total until I touched it again, just over a year later. Let's be real here. We are comparing it to the Sims 4 and it ain't nowhere…”

“The game can be fun but gets pretty boring fast. I kept playing in hopes of finding the same enjoyment I've had with other life sims but the whole game just feels very sterile. Luckily devs are updating frequently so I…”

“Admittedly I was skeptical when I first bought this game when it released on EA last year. I think I played for an hour or so then didn’t touch it again as it felt hollow and I quickly found myself bored. I decided to…”
“I only recommend this game to people who have played early access games before or are aware of what that usually looks like. The game is clearly unfinished but there is already a lot to do and I see so much potential.…”
“Great game- especially for being in beta and for it's price. I've been a Sims player from the beginning, but haven't played since switching over to inZoi yet (~couple hundred hours in) as there's a lot to discover and…”

“this game is very fun, in my opinion this is a step up from sims 4. there are no ingame purchases (like sims 4 you have to pay for good packs) while its 40$ it is worth every single penny. the level of detail and…”

“InZoi is just like the Sims, but in my opinion better. There is so much you can do wihtout buying a bunch of packs to add content. It seems you can also do a variety of challenges like you would in the Sims. I am…”

“Highly regret spending money on this game, it is soulless, boring, AI slop, and the hyperrealistic look of the game does nothing for me and is bound to age badly.”
“I just uninstalled it, I think I will give it another try again after a year or a year and half maybe? The game needs some time and even after the big update it still feels boring and lifeless”

“Such a disappointment. I bought this game when it released with the understanding that it's in EA and will develop over time. After spending 40 hours playing it felt like a character creator more than a life sim. While…”
“I try the Bakery Bussines and it's aweful, i hire 2 people one for the bakery restock one for coffee restock and the coffee one restock the bakery, and the bakery keep on cleaning, hopefully you guys will fix the…”
“This game has a ton of bugs!!! I have tried it on both Windows and Mac, and the bugs are not specific to one platform. I have to be honest: the details and quality of character creation and the interactions with other…”

“Really boring and soulless game, so many LOD pop-ins on far-away Zois, cars, objects even on Ultra, really bad optimization even with DLSS turned on, graphics not as good as advertised... This game needs a lot of work…”
