Then perhaps a long walk on the beach of a deserted island, where a rich wealth of untouched nature awaits, is just what the doctor ordered! Peaceful creativity and charm await as you roll up your sleeves and make your new life whatever you want it to be. Collect resources and craft everything from creature comforts to handy tools.

Critic Reviews
By Michele Verardi
There is also the regret dictated by the knowledge that this will be the last substantial free expansion and that the Happy Home Paradise DLC will be the only paid content of New Horizons. A real shame, given that such updates have demonstrated the enormous potential for renewal that the gameplay of Animal Crossing offers: a title that we would never want to abandon. However, remaining focused on the present, we can only promote the 2.0 update, which represents the best possible return to the island of our dreams.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a stunning new instalment in the Animal Crossing franchise, hindered only by its lack of immediate content, quality of life issues and missing returning characters and features While future updates will give the game long-term playability, for those already sipping vacation juice on their five-star islands, island life feels pretty mundane right now.

Animal Crossing‘s original vision had humble goals in facilitating local communication with friends and family; now, New Horizons confidently stars on the global stage by readily shattering virus-devised boundaries for the sake of vital human interaction.

If you love Animal Crossing, then New Horizons will no doubt take over your life. The formula for Animal Crossing is not for everyone, but for many, the downtime is something that players relish creatively.
