Animal Crossing: New Horizons

While it’s still about community-building and interacting with NPCs, Nintendo has taken a different direction with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Along with crafting, players can now effectively landscape and customize their own personal island to their needs, attracting different NPCs and experiencing different events in the process. There are still plenty of fish and bugs to catch, a museum to fill with your findings, and Bells to earn – with additional features like visiting dream worlds added in subsequent updates – so don’t worry.
