Streets of Fortuna is a chaotic The Sims-like in an ambitious open-world city sandbox, made with the help of Dwarf Fortress creators (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I hate this meme. "[Game-like]" is not a noun/genre, with few exceptions.

The sims doesn’t really have any competitors though so idk what else you’d call a game that’s similar to it other than just calling it a digital fish tank

I've heard "Life Sim" before.

There are so many other ways to say it aside from trying to make a sentence like "It's a The Sims-like".

Or just cut out the "The." Like we really don't need that in there, it just adds more to the word salad tongue twister.

I don't think everyone knows about the life sim genre, but most everyone has heard of, or played, The Sims, so it makes for a more attention grabbing headline. But yes, it is stupid.

Then why not "X, a chaotic new game inspired by The Sims, ..."? Lol
