Grab your tools and unleash your creativity on the lefeased Island computer clip left by Tom Nook courtesy. With many new features including customization and customization for the island, alongside the return of Happy Home Academy, which now has a new tool for storing and repairing furniture, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is what every follower hoped for more.
It's been a great four years since I've played Animal Crossing: Leaf New on my 3DS, the last in a series. For the past few years, I've been playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp – a free-to-play free game. Like many Pocket Camp fans, we've come to expect the worst of Gulliver (who has come to my mind as a trashbird), who has been burned by Fortune Cookies for playing through the gacha program and lost countless hours due to seemingly endless events. When you sign in to a smartphone game now, a New Horizons crossover event takes place. Trying to split my time between Pocket Camp – which I easily invested for 300+ hours and my hard earned money – and New Horizons has been difficult. For many fans, like myself, who have spent many hours in Pocket Camp, you will have to give up one if you value your life. And frankly, New Horizons for Nintendo Switch is totally worth it.
As we mentioned in our previous experiment, Crossing the Animal: New Horizons starts you off with a simple tent and a few possessions. Tom Nook will provide you with your NookPhone, allowing you access to several apps to make island life easier to follow. For the first few days, you will be asked to use simple dagga methods, including collecting tree branches to perform your first toolkit (fishing rod, crash net, ax etc.), bringing materials such as stone, metal cones and wood to Timmy and Tommy to build Nook & # 39; s Cranny, as well as designing furniture for three islanders before heading inside. As usual, as a Resident Representative (much like the New Leaf mayor's duties) it is your job to keep the island in tip-top shape, as well as fund new activities, bridge construction and so on.
Currently, we have spent two weeks on our island. Yes, this is down to the sea of any standard Animal Crossing game. However, we upgraded our home to include another room, built all the tools in & # 39; DIY the best & # 39; s tool, and found that each of them broke several times, for us frustrated. Trust us, if you hated it in Zelda: Wild Soul, you'll hate this too. However, to make a standard tool (as you would have bought from New Leaf), you will first need to make a bloom tool first before using that tool and a lot of materials to improve it. Line regeneration is understandable, but it's definitely tricky how often it is needed for every tool in your arriers.
Speaking of cunning, all that he will do for the first few weeks. Between inventing items for your new home, homes for your residents, getting an overdose of Nooklings and Tom Nook requests and finding new DIY ways with message bottles, gift gifts, residents or purchases from Crazy for Nook, New Horizons think about it all. We expect half the DLC of DIY recipes to knock. But with all the jokes aside, crafting is a fun new element of the series, especially as you can customize a specific set of furniture in standard colors or your pro plans are kept.
Like any other Animal Crossing, New Horizons is all about collecting items. Between catching fish and bugs to collect shells and fossils, there's always a quick way to make money. But before doing so, it's always worth stopping by the museum to say hello to the Blights. Using your NookPhone, you can log into Critterpedia to track which creatures you found and which ones you donated. It's a shame it's still no way to see what fossils you have found (so far). However, you can always visit the museum to view it in full. Since the days of the New Leaf, it has been completely obsessed and looks awesome. Highlights include a butterfly garden and pipes and portholes in a sea creature exhibit. Maybe we'll see Celeste when she's ready for development, right?
Elsewhere on the island, you'll notice occasional NPC character visits, including Mabel until she set up an Able Sista shop, Sahara with new items such as robots, secret floors and wallpapers, and Daisy-Mae, granddaughter Join Turnip's resident merchant. Isabelle also returned to a prominent role in the Resident Services building, which is housed there with Tom Nook. Depending on when you visit, it's amazing to watch them both do their business. Around 7am, they will be doing some fun exercises, in the afternoon Isabelle starts making tea, and in the evening they will be working on their projects. Even islanders will continue their days in different ways, usually sports or new outfits. Just yesterday, Agent S and Iggly were building sweaters using their kettlebells in the downtown plaza. For New Horizons, it's the little things that count.
Perhaps one of the most interesting features of the New York is the Nook Miles program. Acting as daily targets at Pocket Camp, you can easily find Nook Miles by catching fish and bugs, hitting rocks, cutting down trees or using your stone ax to collect softwood, hardwood or ordinary wood. Also, you will also find Nook Miles for taking photos with your NookPhone, calling a resident for interactive play, or visiting a local friendly island or online. And don't worry, you can still smash rocks, invest money and recover lost items from residents. It is unfortunate however that you cannot bury your shovel to find gold. Or we keep our fingers crossed for gold tools in general.
Initially, your Nook Miles won't buy you much without the convenience of regular inventory and clothing. But once Citizens' services have been upgraded, you will be able to rescue Nook Miles with foreign items that can be placed on the island. Like the New Leaf Public Works Project, you can build a lighthouse, an outdoor pool, a pool or a huge brick dragon to name a few. However, these things are difficult for services, often requiring you to take additional DIY recipes to create great items. And while resources & # 39; reset & # 39; every day on your island, there is no hard and fast way to get involved. Visiting a small island with a Mystery Tour using your Nook Miles ticket (which costs only 2,000 Nook Miles) is another way to find out more, but then there are your tools to think about as well. New Horizons is first and foremost a resource management game.
Once you have turned your tent into a home, Happy Home Academy is back. As we mentioned in our preview, furniture and warehouses have become completely New Horizons. While you can still push and pull the furniture to their proper place, it is now an easy way out. Just tap down on the D-pad and you will be presented with an overview of your house. Those who have played Happy Home Designer will see the same, as you can touch & # 39; A & # 39; t anything to drag, drop and rotate it anywhere in your home. There is also the option to select multiple items at the same time. Unfortunately, there is no option to easily switch between rooms, so you'll have to physically move your characters to those areas, but in any case the heads and tails are above New Leaf.
When it comes to customizing your island, New Horizons is breathing new life into the series. Now, you can allocate shopping spaces, residents and campgrounds, so you can maintain full control over your island. And while you can't open it during the first night, you can completely transform your island and land and water-building licenses, giving you the ability to make waterfalls, rock pits or small pools. You can add light and set the choice of bridges to rivers too. There are limits, of course, but it's fun to see the ingenuity in the base game.
Although online multiplayer play is a feature we couldn't test on the switch, multiplayer local play and co-op are more fun. This allows you to & # 39; t call a resident & # 39; to play with you, up to four can join you at any time. Players will follow a single leader (while maintaining control of their character) who can use their collection and pick up items. Followers, however, will only be able to rotate using their tools and catch creatures, which will be automatically added to the Resident Services recycling box. On the other hand, most local players allow you to visit your friends' islands to enjoy the fruits of their labor, while roaming freely on their island to hunt for fresh fruits.
Crossing the Animals: New Horizons is a great theme to relax – as it should be. There is so much we can offer in the coming months, such as occasional events and new NPC characters to meet, it's a rewarding game that is proud of its small moments of heart-warming joy. If you are a fan of Animal Crossing, you don't want to miss this.
