What is The Sims Medieval, really? How different is it from other Sims games? Is it worth buying? Find out in this video review!

The Sims Medieval for Windows and Macintosh computers.
EXTRA NOTE: One thing I wasn't sure if I should mention in the review was the way the game "endings" happen - if you don't want spoilers, don't read this. After your kingdom ambition is completed and your kingdom is practically fully-upgraded with lots of high-level heroes, you are forced to start over with a new kingdom to continue playing. While you can choose one of your successful heroes to take over as the new monarch in an extra (and optional) quest, I really wish you could have continued with your original kingdom. You can either play the old one in "free mode" or you must make a new one and possibly do many of the same quests over again, re-building and re-creating everything again with every new kingdom ambition. Not exactly a "flaw", but while I think I understand why they did this, it's a questionable design decision and not exactly ideal to me.
EXTRA EXTRA NOTE: Many of the complaints I had about the game have been fixed as of patch 1.3 on April 30th.
Notes:
New Feature: Free Play Ambition - Set up your perfect kingdom without worrying about long term goals. In this special ambition, you can play quests when you wish, or control up to four heroes at once in a more open free play mode.
New Feature: Child Succession - If a Hero Sim dies, but already has children, you can choose to have one of the children grow up and take over their parent's job!
Camera improvements - Have you ever wanted to get a better view of the action? The camera now allows tighter zooming and full 360 rotation in buildings.
End Game Improvements - Similar to the Free Play Ambition, can now play quests, earn XP, and build buildings even after your ambition is completed!
Hero Leveling Improvements - Can now gain XP beyond level 10 for all heroes, giving additional benefits.
Brave New World Quest Improvements -- When you complete the quest "Brave New World" and start a new ambition with that character, he or she will now retain several abilities from their previous profession!
Kingdom Aspect Improvements - Can now gain additional benefits when increasing aspects beyond their maximum capacity
And many more! This is why these things are listed are problems I had with the game in the video... at the time this video was made, shortly after launch, these were very real problems. They have now been fixed and are no longer problems.

Lord, I would pay SO much money for a sandbox version of the Sims: Medieval. Like, a full on, proper version that had the style of Medieval, but where you have the same amount of freedom as in the Sims 3. Sadly, that won't ever happen. But I would be more than willing to pay full price for it; which for EA games, is rare for me. I like their games, but I fucking DESPISE them as a business; enough that it makes me not want to buy their games.

How do get over having to start a kingdom fresh every time you start a new ambition and having to do the same quests and unlock the same things over again? Are there completely new quests for every ambition or is it really all the same, just with different end goals? That's my main reason for being unsure whether to buy it or not.

Sometimes leaving you to restart a mission from scratch.

I will say this about the game. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about the way the sims are animated here seems much more appealing to me than it does in any of the main games. Or maybe it's that the animations are the same but the aesthetics are different...I dunno. Truth is the aesthetics of the sims themselves have always quietly bothered me. They just moved too jankily for my liking; too cartoonish. Granted they move cartoonily here too, but something about it here just works in my eyes. I dunno.

If you don't like it that's perfectly fine; but there's really nothing you can do, unless you wanna go ahead and make an overhaul mod. The Sims is not meant to be a realistic game; it's designed to be cartoonish and silly in every single aspect. it makes sense the sims themselves look that way. if you want a more realistic game, you really should be looking elsewhere.

It's like they have more warmth to them. As Clint mentioned, it's kind of something in the skin. They don't quite have the same sort of squishy pudding-face look as in The Sims 3 despite using similar engine elements. (I call TS3 sims pudding-faced because that's kind of how I perceive them, but I am legally blind, so that might not be the best descriptor. Still, their faces, even if they're thin, just always look kind of squishy to me.)

For clarification, since he refers to the Kingdom goal and the quests as Quests. When you start a new game, you pick a Kingdom goal, based on the goals you've unlocked. (the initial goal is more of a tutorial and merely requires you to build all possible buildings in a kingdom to Win). There is no free-play mode initially, and anytime you're actually using Sims you will be on a quest. These quests have clear goals and a time-limit (though usually pretty generous), and determine which classes you can play as. (some quests allow multiple heroes to be used, or change how to reach the goal depending on the hero chosen) and cost quest points of which you only have a limited amount. The initial Kingdom has a simple goal and is basically impossible to fail, so you don't have to worry about what quests you choose to play. Completing quests gives the chosen character/s an amount of xp/gold based on your performance, as well as modifying your Kingdom in various ways, and adds Kingdom points for unlocking new buildings. Fulfilling the goal unlocks free-play mode for that Kingdom, which allows you to pick 1-4 heroes to manage with no particular goal to work towards, aside their personal daily duties. Once you've completed the initial Kingdom goal, you'll have unlocked other goals for new Kingdoms, which have more specific requirements and require you to choose your quests more carefully to ensure that you don't run out of quest points before achieving the goal. If you want the more free-form sandbox experience, this game REALLY isn't for you. But if your the type who needs goals to work towards but aren't good at making your own, this may be a good purchase.

I'm not a massive gamer so I don't know a lot about gaming companies but I always wondered why EA didn't make a sim's style/open world Harry Potter game seeing as they already made HP games. I mean I know there a mods for sims but its not the same as having an interactive universe solely designed for HP with game-play geared specifically for spells/flying etc. and this game just makes me think of that aesthetic. I mean projects like Pottermore show theres a clear desire for such an experience from fans. There's so many possibilities too like you could create you're own students to be sorted into houses or adults you can sign up for jobs as aurors/teachers/qudditch players/dragon trainers etc. They could have expansion packs like 'magical beasts' instead of pets for dragons etc or extra places/schools mentioned in the books like Durmstrang. They could have both open world and/or goal orientated play by going to classes or signing up for quidditch/duel club etc. And with the new spin-off movie series coming out thats even more possibility for expansions. Maybe you could choose whether your kid is muggle born/half-blood/pure blood and whether you're 'sim' becomes a dark/light wizard or not. I mean I realise that the HP games that exist are semi-open world in that you can explore the school but you're always Harry or one of the main trio and you have to follow the games story. I also see that a lot of people have mixed feelings about EA - especially with a mostly negative response to sims 4- and I guess you could say that if EA attempted a completely open-world HP game they could mess it up and focus more on the money-grab aspect of expansion packs over quality. It just strikes me as odd they never even thought about it, or maybe they did but it just never happened due to the latter.

It could work very well as long as it's contained in Hogwarts, I think. You'd have things to do, people to interact with and probably things like quests or events that you could (or not, I guess) participate in. The rest of what you proposed probably wouldn't really work with the current Sims formula, though, since it's too expensive and would probably require changing maps too often.

@SynphamyMusic 7 жыл бұрын

See, i think it'd be better if you didn't have a physical hogwarts in the game. I think it'd be cool if they brought out some expansion where you could send your sims to hogwarts kind of like how children go to school and they'd learn to cast spells to make life easier or do quests in the sims world, maybe have other sims react in good or bad ways depending on how they believe in magic or something so it could be risky to go around casting spells in public in front of muggles

Sims Medieval is my favorite Sims game, specifically because of the narrative structure - the way you had specific questlines and stories to complete made it feel a lot more... I hesitate to say Focused... than Sims 3. While I enjoyed Sims 3 and 4, I often get burned out playing them, because they get very repetitive after awhile, doing the same chores, jobs, school, etc. often off-screen - in Sims Medieval each "Quest" was it's own story, and involved a variety of events and characters to interact with. It was also coincidentally the first Sims game I ever played, although I owned Sims 3 at the time, I could not run Sims 3 on my PC.

I still think this game was great for what it was. I sank tons of hours into it, however, unfortunately it is lacking on greater depth. There's a progression system where you can continue to create new kingdoms and play them with different goals in mind, but after while they all play so samey there isn't much incentive to keep going beyond a few levels deep. It would have been excellent had it been expanded upon. Or maybe they could have beefed up their "free play" mode allowing for multiple generations and dynasties while still having a separate mission based play. Oh well. "What Could Have Been" could be applied at this point to dozens and dozens of EA games....

I just recently and i gotta say i really love the your videos. I've never been someone who played or particularily enjoyed sims games or anything-building games (say simcity, roller coaster tycoon, etc, etc) but hearing you talk about them in your usual style of reviews (which surprisingly hasn't really changed over the years and i mean that in a good way) is so interesting to listen to and watch, i've been binge watching a whole bunch of your sims games reviews today. (city XXL, simcity stuff, etc, etc) i'm barely barely scratching the surface of everything sims related you've reviewed over the years. Your channel is easily escalating as one of the best one for me.

Newer comment here. October 2020: I just bought the whole game on Origin’s site for $19.95 USD. It contained the expansion pack of Pirates and Nobles as well. Played it all weekend. It’s very fun. Actually, for what it’s worth, it’s a lot more fun than Sims 4. Sure there are rabbit holes, but there are more locations to WALK to and explore, and it actually feels like there are less rabbit holes than Sims 4. The Sims Medieval doesn’t bombard with load screens. Maybe because I’m goin through the ‘honeymoon’ phase with this game, but it’s actually really fun IMHO. No. The graphics are not Sims 4, but they are livable. I would have enjoyed CC made by people for this, but as a whole it makes a worthy stand alone game in general.

Video Game Industry Politics is a confusing subject. It's not uncommon for companies to harass others because of the use of words that appear in the Oxford Dictionary only to completely ignore blatant rip offs. It all depends on whether they feel they have anything to gain from the prospect, and they're all a bunch of delusional megalomanic bastards making it even more confusing.

i play mainly ts4 with a bit of ts3 mixed in, and i always come back to this game. it’s such a fun disruption from the monotony that can come from a traditional sims game. i love having quests to complete, characters (heroes) who are quite distinct, and a visually lovely aesthetic. while medieval is nowhere near complete (and i wish they had been able to expand on it), i inevitably return to it at least once a year. there’s limited gameplay, and once you reach the threshold it’s not nearly as fun, but until then, i always have a blast. i love this game and i so wish they had expanded on it more than just with pirates & nobles

if you have a familly and your hero died. your son can continue with your stuff. also, get married and have a love one get your caracter a lot of boost like the sims. in sword fighting have a few choices who make more damage, play more safe for stamina or heath, you have to concern with both. you lose battle if you're tierd too. you can do a lot of stuff. don't need to do only stuff for quest. you can take 3 days to do a little step of the quest with no penalty in your happiness, after some time the caracter will feel lost of the way. the writting of the stories also is very good. you can get a lot of fun
