The Sims 4

You don't play The Sims 4 so much as you open a life-sized dollhouse, lose 45 minutes in Create-A-Sim making the perfect Sim, then immediately sabotage their entire existence because you wanted to “test the kitchen layout.” And that's the magic: it's a life sim that's equally good at heartfelt storytelling and accidental comedy, often in the same 30 seconds.
