    It's my favorite animal crossing game I've ever played :D

    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.

    My favorite Nintendo Switch game !

    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.

    Mayhaps a bit too consumeristic?

    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.

    • Goofs
      When villagers comment on piano or synthesizer furniture in their own homes or while visiting the players' house, they state they are incapable of playing them. In "Happy Home Paradise", if the player drags the villager and places him or her in front of a piano or synthesizer, they are shown to actually play these instruments.
