Review/Animal Crossing: New Horizons (NS)
I know what you’re thinking. I came a little late. Yes, there seems to be “Animal Cross: New Vision” everywhere recently. I was not surprised; this is the game we need at this time. It is the doctor’s order to explore the paradise on the island in your own home, so it is difficult to find the switch console recently. But I still want to give you enough time to explore what the game can offer before making a comment. In the end, “animal crossing” is not a game to be completed in a hurry” New Horizon “Let things slow down in the first few days.
For a long time, in addition to the first major series of “Across the Animals” games, this special and most popular snack bar has given you freedom and openness. At the beginning of the game, there were two other villagers on an uninhabited island, rather than a city. Each of you will set up a tent and Tom Nook’s own residential service tent. Everything else you have to start from scratch. That said, things will become more familiar soon. After about a week of continuous training, all the basic knowledge should be in place. Fortunately, this time you control more than basic knowledge; furniture and other items can not only be placed in the wild, but also determine the location of buildings.(These decisions can be changed later.) The construction has played a great role in adapting players to the new horizon and the new world. At first, you can only enter a small part of the island, and the newly added ladders and pole tools gradually expand the exploration area. Frequently switch to these two modes only for movement. This may be annoying, but I still appreciate the guidance. Sadly, this freedom of customization has been hampered by one of the worst game design decisions in Nintendo’s history. Each host can only have one island, so there can only be one “resident representative”(that is, a player who makes a major choice). Click Console instead of Games or Profiles. Now, I’m the only person in my family who plays New Horizon, so it’s no big deal. However, if two players share the console, one player can greatly reduce the experience. Just like Nintendo forgot that switches are not simple portable consoles.
Another “game rule changer” of “New Horizon” is made manually. Craft was originally launched on the mobile phone derivative pocket camping, but it debuted here as a major series. I was worried about this part at the beginning. Because I’m worried that it will turn Animal Crossing into a copy of My World based on another kind of survival and production. Fortunately, this is very important, but the handmade system can supplement animals through formulas far more than it can cause confusion. Finally, The early games of this series let players rely on luck to obtain furniture needed for beds, tables, etc. Here, you can get the ability to do more projects with this, and then customize the appearance. Handcraft is not limited to simple basic knowledge. “If you have the right materials, you can do some very gorgeous things.” This is the way to get hand tools. Unfortunately, this means that they are disconnected. Although they are often disconnected, In most cases, making spare parts is negligible. Handwork is also the pillar of many tasks for players to build islands, but in the early days, the limited supply of some materials is very painful. Especially ordinary wood(not cork or hardwood) Wow, collecting iron pieces can drive people crazy. Fortunately, as more islands open, players can go to other islands more frequently. This problem no longer exists.
Unfortunately, although there are other changes, such as deleting popular characters, the charm of building an animal travel fan group for the first time still exists on the switch. More villagers can meet and new tasks can keep you busy. In addition, there are a lot of overall experience improvements. Now villagers can carry out various activities on the island and watch new and expressive animations. You can completely customize the shape of the characters or change it later. The artistic style is too simple, but the new vision looks really good. Fish, worms and fossils are more detailed than ever, and everything feels vivid. This is still “animal crossing”. This means that playing part of the game will be integrated into the scene and characters. This was not my style in the past; after dealing with daily tasks and talking with neighbors, they will move towards a certain goal(if not other competitions). Maybe it’s because of the current situation, but it’s not the case with New Horizon. My Koholint Island feels like a house away from home. This is what I really need.
Indeed, so far, there is no need to say that we should go to see “Animal Crossing: A New Vision”. As long as you don’t get tired of tears from this cold and free “life simulation”, you will know what the best game in the series is. Even if you haven’t played the last project, you can try, because you want to know what everyone on social media is talking about. This is not the most interesting experience you can find on the switch, but it is not fate. On the contrary, this is another world that can be escaped. Although it feels like an initial job, investing in an island can bring great benefits.
