Animal Crossing: New Horizons review - your new island paradise

Animal Crossing: New Horizons came during a pivotal moment in our world history. As the lockdown protocols were implemented to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, many were drawn to the digital island as both escapism from the horrors of the outside world and a substitute venue for parties, gatherings, and celebrating major life events when it was otherwise impossible. There’s no doubt that New Horizons has done a lot of social good and even as the world opened up and life transformed into a new normal, this charming paradise still has plenty to offer new and former residents alike. It’s unclear why Tom Nook ultimately decided to team up with Dodo Airlines in order to establish a new island-based colony. However, as one of its first debt-riddled residents, you’re tasked with building up a brand new community from scratch. This involves gathering Bells to afford planning applications for facilities such as Nook's Cranny and the Museum, or completing fundraising projects to terraform natural ramps to otherwise out-of-reach places. This endeavor takes months, if not years, to complete, with day-to-day tasks aimed to last a few minutes at a time. You’ll soon transform the island from a colorful yet isolated playground into a luxurious community filled with homes and amenities to enrich your town into a must-visit destination. It’s up to you how long you continue playing every day, but those first few moments each day tend to involve the bulk of your chores to earn Bells, the main currency of all Animal Crossing games, and the new Nook Miles for doing more menial tasks.
