Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the sweet and euphoric paradise. Your only responsibility is to sell fruit, weeds, and bugs to twin raccoons in order to build your island. The only thing you have to worry about are the unsightly villagers. To quote a viral tweet, “Animal Crossing players will show you a picture of a weird little duck and be like ‘I hate this motherf***** with every fiber of my being.’” Of course, much of the game’s appeal lies in the ability to indulge in an off-the-grid fantasy free from the burdens of society, simply being rewarded to complete easy tasks and vibe by fishing, hunting and becoming your own interior designer. The game’s premise is not the only thing that attracts people to it. Its warm and inviting visuals as well as its adorable characters are what draw most of them.
