Games Menu: Animal Crossing New Horizons

I've been meaning to try this franchise for some time, now let's finally look at Animal Crossing.

Originally an N64 Japanese exclusive going by the name Animal Forest, it then went world wide on the GameCube as Animal Crossing. It's a simple life simulator that allows you to build a community of animal people while acting as the mayor/villager or whatever position the game offers, in the latest one you seem to be remodelling an island.

Pros
Incredibly relaxing experience.
Easy to pick up and play.
Animal people are charming.
Always find something to do.
The new custom options are fantastic.

Cons
Leaving the game for any length of time makes the island fall into disrepair.
Getting to a good point in the game takes a minimum of 3 weeks that's assuming you play everyday.
Events can really hinder basic progress.
Projects and home extensions leave you having to constantly forage for bugs, fish, fruit, fossils and building materials to sell.
Constantly having to rebuild tools all the time.
Constantly having to wait til tomorrow for buildings to finish.

Overall
Picking this game as my first Animal Crossing game was a good call, while the first stages of the game can drag you can get to a position where your island looks perfect. But I suppose a game that can easily wipe out 100 hours in this weird world right now does keep you at home at least.
