I don't know what it is but this entry in the series feels more like a chore than previous games. Maybe its the crafting slowing everything down, or making it more of a slow progression more than "instant" gratification, but I could not get into it like I did new leaf. Still, it's animal crossing, it's relaxing, cozy, and the gameplay loop by nature is addictive. I will say the customization options for the island really add to this game and make it worth a try over others in the series, even if I personally could not get into it as much.

a weird game to recommend, I could talk for hours about the things I like about it, but honestly, just try it out, be patient with it and it may reward you with a playthrough that sticks with you for years. The story might not be the best, or its combat super engaging, but it is a game that absorbs you in it's world. Whatever you put in, how you involve yourself, the game gives back in spades.

the best crash game hands down, refines all the ideas present in the original, while evolving the gameplay to offer a more fluid experience. A couple of gimmick levels hinder its masterpiece potential but otherwise peak platforming, play the original if you can, the remake is still good, but loses a lot of the charm the original had.
