Review
The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy adds a fascinating twist to the beloved life simulation franchise, immersing players in a historical yet whimsical world that thrives on family intrigue and drama. Ondarion, the new kingdom, is beautifully designed, brimming with lore and storytelling potential. However, despite its rich visuals and the engaging dynamics of the new dynasty system, the expansion also presents significant shortcomings; players might find the new royal career path disappointingly easy and lacking in meaningful challenges. Furthermore, options in Create-a-Sim do not meet the expectations for such an ambitious pack, particularly for younger Sims. Despite these flaws, the expansion can inspire creativity within the community, offering fresh ways to craft narratives full of scandals and secrets. Overall, while not a game-changer, it invites an enjoyable return to family legacies within The Sims universe.
