Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I was so excited when I got this game as a present in May of 2020! I saw a lot of the game play on YouTube and I was constantly thinking about my island. While the ease of play is nice and understandable, there are a lot of features that you would have to buy to make the experience more enjoyable, including the DLC, Amiibo Cards, and Nintendo Online. I think that having these consumeristic features in the game makes it more P2P, rather than F2P and it gives F2P players a disadvantage. Other than all of the buyable features, I really like how there is a lot to do in the game, like fishing, bug hunting, completing collections, and expanding your island. The events are also a fun touch. Overall, I would recommend this game for someone who has completionist urges.

This game is just perfect ! Musics and visuals are so much relaxing and the storyline is the most simple you can find. Kids are happy cause this is a real source of distraction and adults are happy cause they feel weel as if they were in holidays in paradisiac island and it allow them to forget the present for a minute.

The only negative point that maybe bugs me that we can quickly being addict to this game.

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

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.

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!
