Hi, everyone. My name is Rachel and I'm addicted to Animal Crossing.
Since Christmas, I have been playing this game nonstop. I love it because it's a very stress-free, calming game. It's great to come home after a day of work or class, switch on my 3DS, and play this for an hour or two.
If you're not familiar with the Animal Crossing setup, it's basically a "life and community simulation game." This means you, as the player, control the life of your character and the relationships it develops. This isn't a game where you're given a grand mission to save the world and you have to fight incredibly intimidating monsters. Instead, you get to know your neighbors, do favors for them, and customize your house.
You're probably wondering why this game is any fun. Sounds pretty mundane without some grand purpose to fulfill, right? Wrong. So, totally wrong. The thing I love about the Animal Crossing series, especially New Leaf, is how customizable it is. Every player's experience is going to be different and you can make your experience in the game totally your own.
In New Leaf, you are mistaken upon your arrival to your new town that you are the new mayor. With the help of the townsfolk and your adorable secretary Isabelle, it is up to you all to make your town a better place to live. There are public workers projects that can be funded or ordinances to help maintain the state of the town even when you're not playing. As with the other Animal Crossing games, there is no main plot. You go about your day as mayor, building relationships with the townspeople and trying to make your town the best place to live. I would really recommend this game to anyone, at any age, no matter the experience level of the player.
Is this a game you would play? Are there any other video games you enjoy? Let me know in the comments!
Until next time!
Rachel
