Animal Crossing: New Horizons

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!

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

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.

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.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fantastic game and will keep you hooked for several hours. The gameplay basically consists of working you way up from a tent to a fully furnished house, farming fruit and vegetables, catching fish and bugs, buying and trading items, and digging up fossils.

You also have the abilities to change the landscape, this includes adding or removing rivers, clifts, pathways, plants and trees. You can also build many other things, such as fairgrounds, parks, and any other buildings a town could have.

Doing all the above is a very enjoyable experience, however you do get to a point when you think "what now!" and you feel you have hit a brick wall and there's not much else to do. However, as the game runs in real time new things happen on certain days, such as Halloween, Christmas Day, etc. One thing that really annoyed me in the game though was the fact you had to wait a WHOLE day to build, move or demolish a bridge or building! So if you wanted to move around your town it could take weeks as only ONE building or bridge can be moved per day...crazy!

The amount of work and detail that has gone into Animal Crossing: New Horizons is unbelievable, it looks absolutely fantastic and plays like a dream! Saying that, many Nintendo developed games are also polished to a very high standard.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a very worthy purchase, but you will eventually get bored with it and wanting to swap to another game. I think Nintendo could improve Animal Crossing, possibly taking a few ideas used in games like Stardew Valley.
