Modern Gaming: Animal Crossing: New Horizon (Switch) Review · 11:55pm Oct 21st, 2020
A new edition of Modern Gaming is up, and we check out another tropical theme game called Animal Crossing: New Horizon. Originally, when Nintendo announced an Animal Crossing game on Switch, I wasn’t excited at first. For nearly two decades, I was never into the series, but it’s understandable why these games were so appealing. My original thoughts back in the 2000s was that AC was too cute for me to play any of them. It was my angst teen self-doing the talking but as we slowly grow up an understanding as an adult forms. Did I get into the series by the early 2010s? The answer is no, and most of us were too busy looking forward to the newest Zelda or the North American arrival of Xenoblade. Funny enough, this wasn’t until watching Vinny from Vinesauce do his usual play through that for once changed my mind on Animal Crossing. A month after New Horizons’ release, I bought the game and it’s my most played title next to Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 in many hours.
Honestly, I think ending the summer on New Horizon is a great way to go into the Autumn. As you noticed very little got posted through the Summer season on this site. The Donkey Kong Land Review was the only one since I was prepping some of the Fall lineup. Like the previous years, I am too busy prepping for the Autumn season and Halloween in terms of content. Halloween has always been a personal favorite considering how much it revolves around candy and horror themes. With so many horror titles and gaming Creepypastas available, why would I skip out on this holiday? Besides there are more reviews coming that fit perfectly for the Fall that isn’t a spooky theme. With the Summer behind us thus ending Vacation time, New Horizon is the best way to have fun as the Fall season starts.
