    I thought this game would be boring but I love it. There’s so much to do and it’s very relaxing! It takes a lot of creativity to decorate and stuff so it’s very fun.

    This game is a total twist on New Leaf, but not in a bad way. It is absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to play. There is big community involvement in this game too.

    I have always loved the different animal crossing games. This one is the best by far. Wish during online play that you could have more than one person playing locally.

    The Animal Crossing series is really nice. They're mostly chill, relaxing games about taking care of a village, helping it grow, keeping it clean, all that good stuff. Only in New Horizons, you start on a deserted island and have to start your village from scratch. It's still mostly like the previous games, with a number of changes to fit the new deserted island motif. For example, you can buy, find, or be gifted crafting recipes to craft stuff using various resources. The downside is your tools can and will break, even the gold tools, but thankfully resources aren't too difficult to find. Or at least they weren't, until the Bunny Day started on April 1st. The event ends on Easter, but the event is the worst. Thus only 4 stars instead of 5. The event is hosted by Zipper, a bunny mascot straight out of a horror game, like Five Nights at Freddy's. Zipper has replaced seemingly half of your fish, wood, and mineral resources with eggs. Nintendo claims they reduced the encounter rate of eggs, but I don't trust them. The sooner Bunny Day is over, the better, but this experience makes me dread their other promised seasonal and/or holiday events. In summary - Pros: Nice, relaxing game about building a village from scratch on a deserted island. Cons: Bunny demon flooding the island with ugly eggs.

    Really great game, its like fantasy life. If i had to give it a genre it would be like a slice of life. Play an hour or so per day and continue next day same thing. Smooth and slow but i actually advanced a lot in a day so its not hard. I love how cute it is and managing your own island is pretty sweet.
