got 150 hours in this, so it did consume a lot of my time. but once you get everything, its either you put it down or study design and city planning, and I am not going to do that

as much as I need a relaxing time in my day-to-day I just cannot get into these games also may I add that for a supposedly "relaxing game" in most of these games you are drowning in debt

good but lacking some charm i felt that new leaf has


Cool but not my type of game

This game got me through my studies and ruined them. It distracted me during the Covid pandemic and was so much fun. Unfortunately it lacks fundamental online features, but as a single player game it's really fun.

I never managed to collect everything. As a completionist, that really scratches my honor

just play new leaf not this soulless slop

If there was a way to play animal crossing that didn't take weeks and weeks of real time, I would go crazy

Droga en gran medida, me dan ganas de ser decoradora de interiores, amo a Canela y que quemen a Tom Nook

its fun being the one southern hemisphere guy with a bunch of northern hemisphere friends when they want to get different seasons of fish

Got me through COVID and I still live to return, especially for the happy home DLC.

(Review from 2021) This game is good, but this game is also bad. It's fun and cute and came out at the perfect time, but the drip rate of updates, the relatively empty personalities in the game, the tedious online, and the reliance on visiting other players constantly has sort of made it a shallow and frustrating experience at times. With a few updates and some better coding I truly think this game could shine

its embarrassing how competitive i am with my friends on this game

you cannot play wario's woods or panel de pon in this one

Just too large of a departure from what makes Animal Crossing a series I enjoy. By having so much control over each individual aspect of your island, it discards the homey and cozy small town life the series was founded on. The villagers lack a lot of personality and are effectively just another decoration. And despite focusing so heavily on decorating, you can’t even fully decorate how you want, as to progress you need to follow what the game considers to be “good”. There are so many missing features, the unique NPCs were shafted in favor of a smartphone, and there’s just a lot of missing personality. I also find the soundtrack very repetitive and nothing stood out.

I think this game came out at the perfect time. I played this for hours on end when it came out, and ended up with an island I was pretty happy with. Unfortunately, I got to a point where I just decided I was done, and no matter how hard I've tried, I haven't been able to get back into it. It's not a bad game, it's just missing something that I felt the other entries in the series had.

I love this game but it doesn't have the magic that New Leaf had. For whatever reason. Happy Home Designer is awesome though.

played a ton whilst in lockdown but burned out on it pretty quickly and just cant go back. was a pretty fun few hundred hours while it lasted

im having so much fun its not even funny

A disappointing imitation of Animal Crossing. Only gets points for the fact that it's a really good dressup game and the ability to place furniture outside.

did more for mental health than therapy ever could


Bon, eh bien merci pour l'amusement pendant le Covid, mais malheureusement je ne suis pas un fan des jeux de farming. Donc j'ai fait ma petite île, puis j'ai lâché le jeu.

fun game but doesnt hit the same as new leaf, teraforming is a super nice addition but it takes wayyyy too long, same with making paths

Some good additions to New Leaf (terraforming!) but the characters have better personalitites in NL and in general I tend to prefer NL's "simpler" game loop.

It feels like NL was made to be played in short sessions every day for the rest of your life, while New Horizons was made to be binged and "completed" by playing it as much as possible as fast as possible. Which to be fair, even if it was true, would probably have been the correct choice for the COVID era. I just prefer NL personally!
