In a weird way, Animal Crossing: New Horizons had perfect timing. The game came out just before coronavirus concerns hit an all-time high. At a time when everyone was confined to their homes, Nintendo released a game that allowed us to imagine building a better life on our paradise island.
New Horizons manages to be the best entry in the Animal Crossing franchise. It’s beautiful, refreshing, and soothing to the point that it could redefine the way you view video games.
Not always suitable for beginners
If you’re new to Animal Crossing games, you probably have a simple question. “What do I do in this game?” The answer sounds a bit like a Zen paradox: you do both “nothing” and “everything”.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game with very few specific objectives. For example, you’ll have to pay Tom Nook back for loans, but it’s really just an excuse to find and collect various animals and treasures around your island.
Beyond basic stuff like that, this game has no real structure. Create your goals and make your fun. While this is liberating for many players, absolute beginners could spend many hours in the beginning trying to figure out what to do.
