I was telling my brother that I really wanted to play this game and my brother decided for my birthday to give me his Nintendo Switch Lite and even bought me the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since April 2020, it\u2019s the one game I\u2019ve been able to play and actually enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enough of my past story of getting into this game, let\u2019s talk about the game as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnimal Crossing: New Horizons\u201d is a video game made by Nintendo Switch and is the fifth game of the \u201cAnimal Crossing\u201d series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are only able to play this game on the Nintendo Switch consoles. This sucks if you don\u2019t have a switch but it is understandable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now in this game, you are able to control a character (that you design) and move to a deserted island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this deserted island, there are two other animal villagers who move there with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you are on this island, you are able to craft, fish, catch bugs, dig up fossils, literally anything and almost everything. Being able to just run around on a deserted island with three other villagers, shake trees, and hit some rocks was so soothing to me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different types of fish you can catch are insane. Like I should not be able to catch some of these bad boys, like why are they so close to the shore?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-121 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023091018165500_c.jpg?resize=850%2C478&amp;ssl=1 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more you play, the more shops and villagers you can receive. You can have a total of 10 different villagers on the island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to what I said in the beginning about having an OUTSTANDING LOAN! Yes, you will be just as broken in this game as you might be in real life. I know I am.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where are these loans coming from? Who is charging you? WHO IS ROBBING YOU?!?! I\u2019m glad you asked!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These loans are coming from you upgrading your house. The animal behind this loan management is a Japanese raccoon dog named Tom Nook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As much as I want to say very nice things about Mr. Nook, he honestly pisses me off that I physically can\u2019t say anything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think he\u2019s a dope businessman just trying to make a living, HOWEVER, the loans are OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe the last loan payment for your house (which is adding a basement) is about 2,500,000 bells. Literally insane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such as getting another room, getting an upstairs room or even just expanding a room already in your house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be asking; HOW AM I GOING TO AFFORD THESE LOANS?!?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, you don\u2019t necessarily have a job however, you have access to a shop called Nook\u2019s Cranny where you can sell anything (besides fake artwork and villagers&#8217; lost items).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nook\u2019s Cranny is run by two twin raccoons, Timmy and Tommy. They are absolutely ADORABLE! I love them so much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have been able to buy so many cool items from Nook\u2019s Cranny. Like I once made my whole island look like something straight out of a fantasy game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It looked like this!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-122 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/crystalscove\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023090422232900_c.jpg?resize=850%2C478&amp;ssl=1 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of the money that you make in this game, will most likely go towards paying off your house loans, paying off loans from building stairs and bridges, and finally, the amount of clothes that you will buy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all of my home storage is full of clothes. I bought all these clothes from the Able Sister\u2019s Shop, which is run by Sable, Mable, and Label. Love them so cute, that you will have to play just to find all the cute outfits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, here\u2019s a screenshot from my gameplay of one of my favorite outfits.
