Things I liked:

- The representation of black hair!! Many games put black people in the back of their mind (or don’t even think of us at all) when it comes to making hair, skin tones, etc. There are different games that I’ve played but I’m not able to make myself and hair is so important within black culture

Having options in the base game is great and I look forward to more and to see what different creators will make :)

- The Para customization is honestly pretty solid! The sliders remind me of the sims 2 & 3 respectively.

- Build mode is also great and I’m not a builder myself!

- I love you Colour Wheel 🥹🫶🏾

- I like the world/town. I like the vibes, I appreciate the little details and the amount of work put into each build. Bonus points for it being a walkable town lol (my para can just run to work in like 1 minute)

- I actually don’t mind the art style of the game. I’m not a huge fan, however, I do love how this game has its own identity and its own little quirks that make it unique

- Auto save!!!!

- Downloading mods is super easy! Yay!

- Height slider!!!!!

- The chance cards are lowkey fun. That challenging aspect makes me actually want to lock in and try. With that being said, how in the world are some folks Para’s getting pregnant so fast!? 😭😭

Things I don’t like or are neutral on:

- The camera (I’ll explain in personal wishes)

- Some of the clothing options are a hit or miss but they’re good for basics I suppose. Can’t wait to see more options

- The lag. Sometimes playing after pausing can cause immense lag for me. No idea why

- The babies are scary and kinda ugly in a cute way? They’re just so silly 😭

Personal Wishes:

- A way to change the camera toggles. Believe it or not, I’m not a techie person at all and I’m genuinely not used to playing many games on my laptop! I have a very hard time with the camera controls (when rotating, moving and zooming) and I hope that they’ll add a toggle where instead of using the mouse, you can use the arrows instead

Shout out to TwistedMexi for already making a mod! (It’s on the Paralives Steam workshop)

Is it worth $40?

I’d say so in my opinion. I personally don’t regret my purchase. Still, if you’re on the fence, then I’d recommend waiting (while still staying informed)
