This installment takes everything from the old Animal Crossing games and multiplies it by 20. It has so many villagers, furniture items, clothing options, hair colors, hair styles, hats, shoes, umbrella's, shovels, etc. This game takes all of the things charming about the others, and adds a deeper layer to it. There are so many things to do. Catch bugs, catch fish, sure, like the old games. But now you can terraform your island, create obstacle courses and put furniture in places outside of your own home. You can expand your house to sizes never before seen in Animal Crossing games, and the dialogue from the NPC's is charming and light-hearted. You can end up with a raccoon with emo tendencies that likes heavy metal, or a chicken that wants to be a body builder. As well as all of these improvements, you can now visit other islands very quickly, and see islands of people that live across the world from you. The possibilities are, honestly, infinite. Animal Crossing has evolved from a pay off debt, loans, and explore the world sort of game to a Wholesome Minecraft. It's truly a phenomenal game, and it's a blessing that it was released into our COVID-19 weary world. Game Category Ratings: Gameplay - 10 / 10 (SO MUCH TO DO!)

This game at first glance may seem like an indie game with some twists, but it is much more than that. The characters, the fighting, the items, the humor, it's such an adventure to play. You are able to attach yourself to characters that don't exist, and the game can go from charming to gritty in the blink of an eye. This game makes you feel like you are in control, and everything that happens is your fault. It's not punishingly difficult, it's rewardingly difficult. This is a phenomenal game. Every bit of dialogue means something, and can be used to uncover mysteries, and learn about characters. This game alone is near perfect. The only thing that drags it down is the fanbase. All of the Ships, the toxicity. If we didn't have a fanbase at all, this game would be perfect.
