at the time of writing this i am no closer to "completing" new horizons than i was when i had first arrived on the island. it's not a game about completion; it's a fantasy of a slightly less chaotic world. nintendo's own genre for this game is simulation -- indeed, it's a simulation of life with its annoyances refined, reinvented, upon which they become tolerable and even comfortable. here you rip up weeds, cut down and grow trees, plan intricate flower fields all while struggling to get a basic set of matching furniture. your tools crumble into dust while your list of chores grows, but you find yourself seemingly enthralled with and by organizing this cute, miniaturized world. it is a game of conquering little goals, and at the end creating your own paradise, so it's not going to be for everyone. but if it's for you, enjoy your momentary hyper-fixation. i know i did!
