I finally did it. I hopped on the hype train and started playing “Animal Crossing New Horizons.” I heard a lot about it on TikTok and other social medias and everywhere said it was good.
My suite mate had bought it over the quarantine and now all three of us are playing it together.
Whenever one of us are free, we will be playing and then just trade off if someone else wants to turn.
Personally, I think this is the best way to play because I like to hunt and fish where Taylor likes to sell and focus more on the money aspect. We both have strengths and weaknesses and when playing with someone else they can compensate for what you do not have.
At first, I was scared because I didn’t know how we would agree on the simple stuff like the name and the island and other stuff along those lines but, we both have a sense of humor so we named our boy Naval and our island is MeHoyMinoy (The sound doodlebob makes in SpongeBob).
For those of you who do not know “Animal Crossings New Horizon” follows your character as they get this package where they can live and set up a deserted island.
Your job is to make the island more livable by collecting objects and making DIY projects like beds and bridges. You are also helping catalog what is on the island by donating fish and fossils you find to the museum.
Throughout it, you can get villagers and other friends all as you’re growing this island and making it livable for other people.
We’re only on about day four, we’re already setting up houses for new villagers setting up a bridge, and we have a store.
You can even interact with other people who have the game by visiting their islands.
I personally find this game a lot of fun. It gives me Sims vibes. However, you have to take care of them less which I like.
I recommend this game to anyone who is task-oriented because many of the things you have to do are set up to help you do something else. I also think anyone who likes the Sims series or apps like HayDay would also enjoy this game because you are making a life for your character while expanding your island.
I give this game 5 out of 5 stars, I think it is set up well it’s easy to follow and it’s extremely fun.
