🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

Overall, the reviews of the latest addition to the Animal Crossing family are overwhelmingly positive. Players note that the game offers casual recreation, picturesque graphics, and enormous customization freedom. However, some criticism surrounds the one-island-per-console policy. The debate on gender pronouns and references to LGBT issues in the English version of the game also raises questions. Still, the elements of relaxation, collection, design, and multiplayer interaction make the game notable.

Pros

  • 🌳 Deep character and island customization
  • 🎨 Impressive graphic designs and sound details
  • 👫 Fun multiplayer interaction on separate islands
  • 🎁 Constant updates and new features
  • 🎈Child friendly and "mom approved"

Cons

  • 🏝 Limited to one island per console
  • 💬 Controversial changes in gender pronouns
  • 🏠 Other players on the same island have limited development rights
  • 🌈 Dispute about LGBT references in the game

Should I Buy It?

In conclusion, Animal Crossing is an outstanding purchase for individuals seeking a relaxing and imaginative recreational game. It can be even more entertaining if you have friends to share experiences with on their islands. Parents also approve of the game for their kids. However, prospective buyers should be aware of the one-island-per-console rule and the potentially controversial conversations surrounding LGBT references and gender pronouns.

    • Very casual and fun game.

The game is very relaxing, I play it very casually and enjoy taking my time doing things. Is a huge upgrade from the 3Ds version. You could easily sink in hundreads of hours just doing chores and customizing you island and character. Very time consuming. +Game has a lot to do will keep you busy for a good while. +The music is relaxing and you could collect music to play in your house with different array of songs. +Island customization can be very addicting( you will sink lots of hours doing this) +Tons of collectables and customization options can be overwhelming at times. -The price is very high for an older game. If you want something in the likes of Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons this is your game. ... show more

    • Great game, Ages better than wine!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Have always been an Animal Crossing fan. Took me a while to finally be able to get a switch, but once I did, this was one of my first purchases. If you've played before, you're going to love this one. It's so much fun, so cute, adorable, and there's quite a bit to do. The start can be a bit slow, but it's no different than moving into any new place, before it quickly jumps off into a fun, new adventure! ... show more

    • Finally got hooked on Animal Crossing
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Standard
Over the years I have tried several iterations of Animal Crossing and never understood the hype. I always buy the big releases from Nintendo, and was thinking about passing this one by because I haven’t gotten in to this series before... but I am glad I gave it a shot! This game is super chill. You have a character on an island and do things like: - Search for materials such as wood, stone, clay, iron, tree branches, etc. - Find recipes to craft things. These might be given to you by other people on the island, found in a bottle on the shore of a beach, etc. - Craft things like tools, furniture, campfires, etc. - Visit a store that has different merchandise each day. - Go fishing. - Capture insects - Dig up fossils The typical gameplay loop for a given day is something like: go around and gather materials (there is a set amount you can get each day), search the beach for bottles that might have crafting recipes, visit the store to see if there is any interesting stuff for sale, craft/sell any items to the store that they are buying for extra $$ on a given day, dig up and donate fossils to a museum on your island. You collect money in the game by either just finding it or selling stuff, and can use it to upgrade your home from a tent, to a house, to a bigger house, etc (with more room to put stuff). The game seems to be intended to play in small chunks on a daily basis, which I actually really like. It has a lot of charm, is very relaxing to play, and has a really enjoyable gameplay loop that is fun but low stress. On the surface it seems like there’s not a lot to the game, which is part of why I have not gotten in to this series in the past, but playing this one I feel like I finally get it. It’s whatever you make of it. For me it is just a really relaxing way to spend 15-30 mins a day. ... show more
