Once you land on the island, you're given a chance to pitch your tent and suggest where your two fellow travelers should set up camp. You fill in your information, which includes your name and appearance, preferred island layout, and which hemisphere you want the island to be, and you're on your way. After hearing about a deserted island getaway, you decide to take up the offer. The Animal Crossing titles have always had a simple premise, and New Horizons is no exception. It should come as no surprise, then, that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the most anticipated game of the year. It is a relaxing experience and formula that has become a worldwide hit on every platform it has graced from the GameCube onward.
You're practically the only human in a place full of anthropomorphic animals, and you have no fear of death, and you can't actually kill anyone. If you wanted to succinctly describe Animal Crossing, you could say that it is Nintendo's attempt at The Sims minus the micromanagement.
