Description
Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.
Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online** or with others beside you***, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Review
9/10
Animal Crossing: New Horizons revitalizes the series formula with a fully customizable island that players get to design from the tent up.
I Love Animal Crossing, But We Don't Need Another One Yet
It's officially been five years since Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out, and I'm still not ready for another game in this series. When it launched, playing it was all I did whenever I was awake - nearly every second of the day. However, I played it to the point that I eventually experienced burn out from it. For now, I still need a couple of years to recover before I'm ready for another one. Then, I'll inevitable do the same thing and play it for over 12 hours a day.
What's A Game Worth Playing Just For The Visuals?
Cyberpunk 2077 is easily one of the best-looking games I've ever played. Elden Ring is a close second simply because of the environments being so detailed and cool. In terms of unique or charming art styles, Animal Crossing is also up there.
What's One Feature You'd Like To See in a New Animal Crossing Game?
I'd like it if there would be more inventory space and I'd like for there to not be durability on tools like there was in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I'd also like to see a feature similar to the one in Disney Dreamlight Valley where you can get quests and unique rewards from villagers.
What's Your Animal Crossing Birthday Twin?
Amelia is my birthday twin in Animal Crossing. She was born on November 19 - just like me!
What's Your Favorite Location in ACNH?
My favorite location in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the museum. I love everything about it! The butterfly room, the dinosaur exhibition, the aquarium, and The Roost coffee shop!
I Never Craft Tools in ACNH Unless I Have To. I Just Buy New Ones at Nook's Cranny
In the beginning, crafting was fun in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, when your tool breaks for the millionth time, it's just annoying to have to keep crafting it, especially when you have to use valuable resources, such as iron nuggets, to make it. I prefer to spend a couple thousand bells and buy them from Nook's Cranny instead.
What's Your Favorite Flower in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Hyacinths are my favorite flower in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and I also think they're beautiful in the real world. I'm particularly fond of the purple hyacinths you can breed in-game.
Who Were Your Two Starter Villagers in ACNH, and Did You Keep Them?
Everyone gets a Jock and Sisterly villager when they start a new game of ACNH. Billy and Renée were my first two Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers. Billy has been around since day one, but since I didn't get too close with Renée, I let her go when she asked to leave.
What's an Animal Crossing: New Horizons Feature You Wish Had Been Added Earlier?
I've always loved the ability to cook in video games. However, when this was added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I felt like I had pretty much completed the game already, so I ended up not exploring this feature at all.

The Pandemic game. The one that convinced a ton of people to buy a Switch. My favorite since Wild World on the DS.

Ever since I bought the game around 2022, I just been loving the game, the fun mechanics with the fishing and redd can be at Marv’s Island if you pay for his camper van thing, and the new look of Nook’s cranny looks so cute. I could go on and on but I’ll stop here, if you haven’t played this game, do give it a change.
