It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it
Captain’s log, stardate 74156.3. We’ve encountered an entity calling itself ‘Electronic Arts’, which demonstrates godlike powers and treats human lives as pawns in a game for its own twisted enjoyment. It tells us we are its latest toys, and our homes, our heroes, and our decor shall join the fantasy it callsThe Sims 4, declaring our imprisonment to be a ‘game pack’ namedStar Wars: Journey To Batuu. Worse yet, the entity claims that our very lives are not real, that we’re mere props from an attraction at Universal Studios, a theme park in 20th century Earth. From how enthusiastically it stokes fires in our kitchens and sabotages our electrical appliances, I fear we may prosper but not live long.

The Sims 4Star Wars: Journey To Batuu boldly goes to an outpost on Batuu, a popular holiday planet for Federation officers seeking a walk on the wild side. There, you can flirt with fascism for funsies, join a rebellion, or just hang out being a scoundrel (the Riker approach). You can befriend famous folks like ReyPalpatineSkywalkerand Kylo Ren, though you can’t really Riker it up with them -unless you use cheats. You can even build your own laser sword, which I imagine will be useful for any Vulcanpon farrritual combat. Then you get to bring keepsakes home with new items and character customisation doodads.
The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey To Batuu is available now onSteamandOriginfor £18/€20/$20. The Origin page details all the Create-A-Sim and Build Mode items in the pack. It’s also on Xbone and PS4.
