This game is more of a life simulator than a relaxing experience game.

In comparison to games like new leaf, it feels much more competitive and busy for an AC game, that sometimes can tire me during play due to how long it takes to do stuff due to its inefficient UI and game design. the game looks prettier, and has a lot of things and activities that encourage players to play and return to, but it still lacks a lot of its prequels' charm - most notably, the indifferent characters and slightly cheesy dialogue that fills the game.

The online interaction is a good and fun idea to explore, but feels a bit disappointing that it prevents from players to interact or play on the same island together
