Planet Zoo vs Virtual Families
Planet Zoo
Planet Zoo is one of the most anticipated zoo simulation game that is currently being developed by none other than the experts of simulation games, Frontier Development, the very people behind such successful titles as Jurassic World Evolution, Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous. Similar to their previous titles, Planet Zoo is set to dominate the zoo sim/management genre with incredibly in-depth customization, different biomes to build your zoos in, and of course, lots and lots of animals!Although Planet Zoo is still pretty much a work in progress, what we could see in the game definitely made our jaws drop in amazement. The game has an impressive lineup of animals, and we’re sure they are planning to add even more as the game inches ever closer to its release date; plus, almost everything in the game is customizable, including your animals if you know how genetics work. Similar to their other games, Planet Zoo has Steam Workshop support, and from what we can see, an enthusiastic community who will keep the game alive years after its release.
Virtual Families
Virtual Families is a fun family simulation game where you'll be in charge of taking care of a virtual family. Somewhat similar to The Sims albeit in a much smaller scale, you'll get to adopt a virtual person of your choice and encourage him or her to do what young adult humans do - find a stable career, meet a suitable partner and settle down to start a family. Instead of ordering your sim around though, you'll encourage certain behavior by praising and discourage others by scolding. In some way, you can say that you can actually shape the personality of your little virtual person.Aside from the sim, you'll also get to improve the newly-wed's home. There are even multiple hidden puzzles all over the place for you to find and solve. Sometimes, when you least expect it, an event will pop up threatening to turn the amazing virtual life you've built for your sim completely upside down! All of these provide some respite from the usual daily routine of your sims as they go about their day.
Virtual Families is an incredibly fun game especially for fans of life simulation games like The Sims. If you got the chance, you should really check this game out! The demo is free to play, but for the full experience, you'll need to buy the game.
