This game is the definition of greatness. It consists of slow but fun gameplay.

This game is a masterpiece. Working up to a 5 star island is a great feeling, especially when I get up too a new star rating. I sometimes wake up at the time it resets to another day (5:00 am) just so I can see pretty island sunset. The feeling of going outside and fishing, catching bugs, looking in the shops for cool items and clothing, and every thing else you can do in this amazing game everyday is really fun. My favorite part was when I got a 3 star island and I had a beautiful K.K. Slider concert. But I don't like having to pay my debt, and it is a bit annoying when getting stung by wasps and getting bit by spiders and scorpions. The first times I got stung and bit were scary, I thought the spider was a regular bug, and I didn't know looking for sticks would turn into me getting stung. I tried new leaf when I got my DS, and I really didn't like it that much because I didn't know how to fish or catch bugs and I couldn't make my island as beautiful as I wanted it to be. The only BAD part of the game was the eggs and zipper bunny. But with that gone, this game really helps me forget about how scary and terrible the world is right now.

This is just a beautiful game, I play it everyday! It's relaxing and peaceful. It's worth it, but...beware of Zipper T...

I am absolutely in LOVE with this game. I've followed Animal Crossing since Wild World and I've always loved it. But this game became even more for me when I started suffering with depression and anxiety. I could take just 20-30 minutes to cool off.. wind down.. and refresh myself whenever I was feeling stressed or worked up. It's so calming and relaxing to play that you forget how you were feeling before you start to play. Totally recommend!

I was so excited to get this game, I watched so many gameplays on YouTube and it just got me so hyped up. I remember the day that I got it i was so excited and instantly started playing. The game was pretty fun and I overall had a great time playing it, but around a month and half of playing I started to notice some flaws. First of all, I really disliked how you had to wait a whole day (and sometimes more) to do some things. The daily tasks I made myself do were never fun, it felt boring and grindy, and it overall wasn't that good of a time. Another big problem I had is how much the house extensions were, It was pretty hard for me to make money and probably took me 2 weeks to get to 100k. I literally had to pay 90k bells for my one room of my house to get a tiny expansion. Also, advancing the main story line felt like a drag. I'm not the most creative person ever and instead of enjoying decorating my island i instead always got so stressed out because of how ugly everything looked, I couldn't even put the villagers houses in good looking places. ANOTHER thing is that the whole museum thing was cool at first but quickly became bland and a bit grindy. On top of all of that, I had to share an island with 2 other people which just made everything harder than it had to be. Why couldn't Nintendo make it so it would be 1 island per account? So yeah, I haven't gone to my island in months now because it just got boring overall, and I don't plan to return any time soon lol. I know this isn't the popular opinion but I just wanted to give out my own opinion on this game. Please, either like or dislike this review, I want to see if anyone agrees or disagrees with me.
