part of this might just be that i dont like how most animal crossing games make me have to play at earlier hours than I'd like but also having played this game when it first came out and looking at it even now it feels like Nintendo dropped this game before it had a chance to become more than it could've. all of the villagers feel less like actual neighbors and more like cookie cutter dolls with 3 lines of dialogue, the way the online works is once again filled with nintendoisms that make it more inconvenient than it needs to be. the new features this game adds are very good but it doesn't make up for the fact that it feels like half of what animal crossing is at its core is missing, and while the crafting is a really fun addition it also just feels very unintuitive at the same time.
