I, like many other people, hadn't picked up animal crossing for a while, and then the 2.0 update came out, which by itself is...good I guess? But.. Happy Home Paradise is just a beautiful, perfectly balanced DLC, from the quiet Wardell, to the adorable Niko, and then to the overworked Lottie, the characters are all just amazing. Look.. The price is quite steep, 25 dollars for DLC. But the DLC is a game in itself, and when you consider that, it's relatively reasonable. And while what tour paying for IS a game in itself, there still are many features that can hook into your main island, like the ability to invite your villagers to the archipelago, the ability to use your skills on your island, and even a Poki ABD to convert your Poki to Bells. There is so much here, and so much progression, which is something the base game lacks.
   
   Overall, there is so much to love about this DLC, so if your on the edge about it, I'd recommend just going and buying it. 10 out of 10, I love it!… Expand

Happy Home Paradise is pretty much just an enhancedBoth the 2.0 update and DLC added tons of new content to get players playing again. Happy Home Paradise is pretty much just an enhanced version of Happy Home Designer on the 3DS, which was already a pretty fun game. If you've played that you get the basic idea of the game. There's been a lot of improvements to the formula this time around. Firstly, building houses is quicker and more satisfying, which makes unlocking new stuff faster. You can invite villagers from your island, and there are a lot more customization options for houses that you can even take with you to your island. The gameplay is generally better overall, and I'd say it's worth the $25 price tag. One thing Happy Home Designer does better is the facilities. In that game you could do them whenever you wanted and they were huge, leaving tons of room for creativity. In this game, you are forced to complete them at certain points, and you can't leave until you finish. That would be okay if it gave you the option instead of just throwing you into it without warning. Also they are way smaller this time. I only did the first two facilities, so maybe it allows more freedom later on, but those first two facilities felt very restrictive. They were still fun overall, and I'm really enjoying the DLC so far. Probably the best part is that it technically allows you to have all 400+ villagers in the game. I wish the update allowed more villagers on the island, but this DLC fixes it in a way. The 2.0 update has fixed nearly every problem with the game, and now I am addicted to New Horizons once again. Please send help. Actually don't, this is the best addiction I could ask for.… Expand

Overall an excellent addition to the game that makes it feel far more like a finished game than it did at launch.
   
   My problem with Happy Home Designer on the 3DS wasn't that it wasn't fun, but that designing homes felt too much like a chore to be done all on its own. It needed to be tied to a normal animal crossing game so you could do some designing then go back and chill, and that's exactly what we got here, with some very significant rewards for doing it.
   
   My only problems preventing me from giving it a 10 are the fact that you cannot use the room size options in your town, neither on your or your villagers' houses, you can't add second floors to your villagers' houses in your town, and the end reward for Happy Home (not spoiling) is not a weekly repeatable thing, because it was awesome and it's a shame we only get to see it once.
   
   The content is really excellent, however it's just such a huge bummer that you can't use it to it's fullest in your own town.… Expand

Aunque la jugabilidad quizá no es para todo el mundo, yo me lo he pasado sorprendentemente bien diseñando tanto los hogares como las instalaciones que poco a poco van enriqueciendo nuestra isla. Con unos personajes bastante memorables, un argumento divertido y una gran cantidad de posibilidades a la hora de decorar las casas, creo que este DLC es bastante completo y está muy bien integrado con el juego base; y lo recomiendo a todos los que se hayan quedado con ganas de más Animal Crossing. Aun así creo que es un poco caro (25€) para el contenido que ofrece. 8/10
