The Sims Medieval is still just as brilliant today as it was 13 years ago. It's one of many vibrant games that spin off EA's long-running life sim, kept in good company by The Urbz and The Sims: Castaway as some of the quirkiest and best alternatives of its era when building houses and creating families felt a little dry in the 00's and early 2010s.
Taking a more RPG tone, The Sims Medieval sees players creating their own kingdoms and fulfilling royal duties, building churches and medical facilities, and sailing the seven seas in search of new alliances in line with quest specifications. You're still able to change your Sim's clothing, have children, and style your palaces, but the focus in The Sims Medieval is on shaping events in the ever-changing world around you.
