The Sims 3 vs Viridi
The Sims 3
The Sims 3 lets you design your ideal world from the ground up and influence the Sims living in it. The customization in this game is astounding - you can create your perfect Sim by changing his/her looks, outfits and even the personality traits. You'll even get a home that you can decorate as you please as well. Being a life simulation game, you'll also need to guide your Sim as he/she step on the rollercoaster of life, develop a career, find a partner for life, accumulate skills and knowledge, and chase after their dreams. Interestingly, you can even record your Sim's adventures and share them with the game's vibrant community.The Sims 3 definitely one-ups its predecessor in so many ways and is worth every cent you put into it. The replayability is as amazing as ever and the gameplay is simply perfect for its genre.
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
