Animal Crossing: New Horizons Backlog Review - The Most Wholesome God Complex Experience

Jason says, "This is the most wholesome god complex experience there is. It’s because of its clean art style, its undeniable charm, its embrace of its own silly imitation of real life, and the fact that you built everything yourself through the grind of hard work that you begin to form what your mind perceives. And in this lies the addiction: who doesn’t want to work on their perceptions of the world? I found myself addicted and engrossed in a digital life I thought I wouldn’t care about, and this is nearly the perfect life sim experience if it weren’t for poor quality of life (irony, right?) designs like the “one-by-one” user controls and the utterly disruptive online experience. But you know what? My island is Still. Not. Finished."

After the hype wore off during the height of COVID I found New Horizons disappointing compared to. Ew Leaf

NH gave us a lot more cool features but then took things away which they slowly drip fed us with poor updates

Crazy how much it sold and how popular it was during COVID and it got such terrible support

We need more control in the next game, the fact we couldn’t move the airport or town hall was ridiculous and certain items were randomised, like I could get a black lamppost unless a friend gave me one of his because mine were green.

In the end I still prefer New Leaf, one of the most important factors being the breakable tools. It gets pretty annoying when you have to keep making bug nets, fishing rods etc in New Horizons.

It came out at the perfect time and was completely abandoned save for a couple of small updates. Those months after release could have taken the game to a whole other level but I guess Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the number of active players.

The 7 Best Selling Switch Games of All Time

The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?

Animal crossing came out the week the entire world shutdown. Yeah I bought it.

Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!

I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!

Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.

kevco3370d ago

It's the Capcom method:

1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
