This clearly isn't the game for me and I feel like I get punished for trying to be creative in it. I'm glad everyone else is enjoying it, though.

Amazing and wonderful game, I think no other game has the emotional power Animal Crossing has. But new Horizons is weirdly missing somethings I liked about New Leaf, such as swimming.

lets fucking gooooooooo

At the end of the day, this game is a dollhouse that makes you grind for pieces. That's honestly a pretty solid pitch, and the main reason I've put it away for the most part is that I'm not feeling up to investing the combination of creativity and grinding to make every zone exactly how I want it. Even though I've put this down, I also put many hours into it so I can't say it didn't serve its purpose.

This game kind of blows in my opinion. I acknowledge and respect why people like this game, but you spend most of your time earning money to expand your space and collect stuff that you can't even interact with. And once you're done with that, there's not much else to do.

Fun and relaxing, and honestly, that's all it should be. I will say, these types of games, the life simulation, have never been up my alley. I really love a sense of adventure and purpose, with quests and enemies, or at least a goal to work towards. So this game was never going to be something that I absolutely loved and spent hundreds of hours with. It is something that I'll pick up every couple of days and fuck around with though. It's nice!
