Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I can’t go outside this is the new outside. If Covid19 wasn’t a thing take 45 points off this.

I love the Animal Crossing series even though I don't usually play games like this anymore. Just charming, lots to do, does a good job of pushing you along and providing surprises. It's very routine but at the same time there's constantly new things happening. Above all else, I care so much for my villagers that I don't want to leave them. I will, of course, but then I won't go back because I just won't be able to face them.

I played this game for several hours a day for over a month when it came out. Got over 300 hours in all. One day I went to visit my parents and didn't play it that entire time. Haven't picked it up once since. But those 300 hours were great!

I recently moved which meant a lot of stress plus no internet for a week. I played a lot of this. It has two things I normally don't like, crafting and grinding. But I don't mind them as much in this game. What I don't like: games without endings are unsatisfying.

The worst game I've ever owned.
