    Is it a game or just a stupid time waster? My review score shows you what I think.

    There's a few issues I have with this game. The lack of online interactive related things and unnecessary long transitions when people leave your island, the fact that there's only a "Real time" option, and that there's no way in game to advertise your island. I'd love a brochure to "sell" your island, tell people you have certain things there and be more social with it by showing it offThere's a few issues I have with this game. The lack of online interactive related things and unnecessary long transitions when people leave your island, the fact that there's only a "Real time" option, and that there's no way in game to advertise your island. I'd love a brochure to "sell" your island, tell people you have certain things there and be more social with it by showing it off maybe and saying stuff like "Hey, I have a tarantula island, come on by!" Create more of a city, involve more on your island. I just feel it's so limited for not really a good reason but to be a cop out. I'd love more interaction with the citizens and events with them. Everything seems so bare bones for a $60 game.

    I'd also enjoy it if you had sort've a function to treat it like stardew valley where it had it's own hastened day/night cycle to an extent. I'd like to at least play the game in a few weeks, enjoy all there is to see and catch/do quests for everyone in that time frame. It's just not there, just nooks increasing debt with everything you do. I get that "animal crossing may just not be for me" however, I don't think a lot of what I said are bad idea's nor would make people dislike the game any. Do people really enjoy the game mostly being played only an hour or so at a time and all these things that you probably wont ever get done because you may not be playing in the September time frame to catch certain things?

    The last thing is the most obvious though. Not sharing your island. Me and my gf share the switch because I barely play Nintendo games and so she somewhat does, so very little reason to own two. People telling others "Why not just own 2 switches! stop being poor!" why should we be punished for their poor design choice? Such a weird thing to defend a company on.    … Expand

    No se pueden crear dos islas en la misma consola. Por el resto aunque aveces algunas mecánicas son algo tediosas no es nada preocupante excepto lo de que te puedan dar recetas repetidas eso es horrible porque te puedes tirar muchísimo tiempo y no tener una mesita de noche como me ha pasado a mí por ejemplo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im addicted to this game however i have some major issues. First is the one island per console isnt a wise move. Second there's literally zero new content after you renovate the store ONCE NPCS are nonexistent besides villagers blathers the nooks and isabelle ( i don't count the dodos **** those guys ) like how can you have a 2020 release game have less content than the 3ds game that came out in 2012... wheres brewster wheres gracie wheres resetti?? And that rescue app doesn't count. This game is overall extremely disappointing it pretty much boils down to a happy home designer spinoff disguised as a triple a title. Im beginning to thing that they made the beginning slow on purpose to pad out the game a little bit. I can't believe this is the game we've been waiting for i hope they update it soon or come out with an expansion pack or dlc because i feel ripped off and i got this as a gift. Smh Nintendo you didnt ruin animal crossing but you definitely watered it down 2/5 compared to the other games i dont want to give it a one or a zero because the game is stunning to look at but besides that its a shadow of its former self still fun to play but i got way more enjoyment out of new leaf i still haven't unlocked everything in that game and ive been time traveling like crazy in that game. For at least a year on and off but i've pretty much unlocked everything in less than two weeks in this one... its comparable to mgsv ground zeroes and thats not a compliment… Expand

    There are lots of features taken out of this game from previous games. Seems like Nintendo really just threw this game together. It’s becoming more and more disappointing every day. Previous titles have way more content.

Well the short answer is no. The reason I come back every day is because you have to, if you want to choose which villagers you have in your town you have to come back every day and hope someone is staying at the campsite as it's near impossible to find them on islands. if you want to fill your house with furniture you actually like you're basically just hoping to get something good in the store every day. If you want something to do you have to hope there's an NPC in the village that day. It's been less than a month since it came out and I'm already just logging on, checking my shops, getting my message in a bottle, collecting my nook miles, and leaving as that's really all there is to do. I cannot decorate my town or my house any more as I've got no more furniture that would look good. I can't get new villagers because they barely show up on islands, I can't progress with the story as the amount of stars your village has depends only on having more villagers (my friend regularly tells me he wishes his island looked like mine, but he has three stars because he has 10 villagers whereas I have one because I have six villagers), I cannot try to grind bells as nearly everything ends up being an egg during this event. There really is absolutely nothing to do. then there's the huge cutscene that means it can take nearly two minutes just to go to someone else's island and every time someone comes to your island you have to stop what you're doing and wait for the stupidly long cutscene, Not to mention the fact you cannot play on two accounts unless you want to share an Island which puts you at a huge disadvantage. Overall just not a well thought-out and designed game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is limiting on how to get Five stars on your island, it has a set way of calculating how your island is rated but it clashes with themes and styles of building ones island. It grades based on the amount of items in the Island, meaning you can just literally fill the island with random items anywhere and get five stars but the island doesn’t look how you’d like it. For example, I was told by Isabelle that I have too many trees and it was problem for my ratings but my islands theme is overgrown... it worked beautifully in new leaf… Expand

The coffee shop, the numerous dialog for villagers etc. New horizon for me is like animal crossing pocket camp. It lost the spirit of previous animal crossing

    + Some Quality of life improvements, like not being stopped by store-keepers when entering and leaving
    +Animals have more animations, cute.
    + Terraforming is a neat addition

    Negatives
    - Terraforming controls are finnicky and overly-time consuming to use
    - No way to craft in batches
    - Animals repeat themselves constantly
    - Online is terrible with dodo codes. Load times everywhere, constant errors
    - Lack of furniture sets
    - Less stores, upgrades, and main characters than in past titles
    - One Island per Switch
    - Player 2 is a glorified NPC, unable to do anything while you are the leader
    - Game repeats same song for first week, become grating fast
    - Loading in-between museum rooms is grating, same with in houses

    All in all, it is an entertaining time-waster, but this is NOT a 10/10 game. Cute, yes, but it has a wide array of issues and quality-of-life problems that alone knock it down points.

Again, this game design has clearly been made to sell customers on more consoles, it feels very deliberately restrictive to all players but the first.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is such a fresh take on the series and offers so much more to players than previous entries. It has great online play and the visuals just feel extremely nice, although a bit more of the gridlocked side. Villagers are all super friendly, albeit, a bit boring with their repetitive dialogue types. The small attempt of a story or some sort of plot is welcoming and very unobtrusive to the main aspects of the game. Not to mention, the Nook Miles program gives such a great incentive to keep playing the game, and just using every feature the game has to offer.

    Some things noticeably offputting- which does have a load of the fanbase lowering their reviews- is these things listed:

    -While you can speed through crafting animations, you can't essentially just skip the entire animation.
    -You can't craft multiples of things all at once, therefore having to go through tedious crafting sessions.
    -As mentioned before, dialogue with villagers still remains seriously repetitive, including main npc characters (Nook, Isabelle, etc...)
    -Local multiplayer is tedious, especially doing the follow the leader with other players. It's terrible and not incredibly fun.
    -The game being locked to one island per console is relying on a relic system from the past which should've been obsolete by now. Furthermore, players who aren't the leader of the island cannot progress through the story until the leader player does. For a game that advertises multi-user friendliness, this drawback really drains out that aspect.

    Although these are some unfortunate drawbacks overall, the game is still super good and has lots of growth potential. Hopefully, Nintendos AC dev team will listen to the complaints users have, and fix some of these things.    … Expand

    Usually this would be the other way around right? because if you don't skip days then you have more to do over time. At the same time correct and incorrect. This is from a time travellers perspective though.

    For time travellers they are able to skip to any day of the year and be able to catch fish/bugs that are meant for that time of year. Games come out so frequently nowadays that you could end up forgetting you even have Animal crossing to play when another game comes out that your absorbed into. So being a time traveller you can put so much time into the game so quickly and be able to get as much possible from it without having to do so much waiting. I Time travelled and i sunk in an easy 100 hours doing stuff and enjoyed most of it. From doing all this i found some stuff that could affect a casual non TT playthrough.

    The waiting days has been in since the begining but in this game its next level, theres alot more you have to wait days to do. Which means alot less of being able to play while waiting for these. Everything is IRL time based, so its not even like you can spend time trying to finish your collections because you have to wait for that during times of the year. So combining it all it just makes less to do rather than more. Its more over time, this game is perfect for you if you can only sink in a couple hours a day. Its really not even hard to get money in this, so you can do everything you need to do in a couple hours each day. Theres no more burrying your shovel to get golden either with this new recipe thing, so you now have to do something that comes randomly each week and you have to do it 30 times. Which is another you having to wait day by day to check if that persons there. The amount of waiting you have to do has been increased by around double, which imo isnt a good thing as like i said games come out alot and you can just end up forgetting about your island. I never felt like this in the past couple of games and they still had all this in, just less of it.

    The local multiplayer really needs some work for the next game, should be two completely different save files and only join each others island if your both logged in at the same time and P1's island is the one you go to. I don't really local multiplayer though so this doesn't really affect me as much.

    All that really comes down to this is there is just alot more waiting in this one and for someone that wants to spend 10 hours on this with a day off work. You are going to get bored as the game is constantly at a dead end. Someone that can only fit in a couple hours a day this is perfect for you.    … Expand

    Edit: back after almost 2 years, I'm dropping my score quite a bit now. The new updates were a step in the right direction but overall didn't fix the game's primary issue and that was longevity.
    The longevity of this game wasn't good when compared to new leaf and I believe that's due to the very limited selection of items and overall barely any progression system.
    Sure they added froggy chair back but still loved item sets never came back and felt replaced by less charming items. Then the shop never got anymore upgrades along with no other buildings on the island being added, it was a big disappointment hearing they would stop the free updates and it felt like they took our money and ran with it.

    This is the worst animal crossing game to get started with and would recommend the older ones opposed to this.    … Expand

The core gameplay is nothing too different from the usual game. Little improvements to the game, like actually having the option to move your home / being presented with a multitude of crafting recipes for decor is very welcome. The number of villagers possible to meet (and invite) is astounding! While not every villager makes a comeback in the game, but a number of characters last seen in the original Animal Crossing finally make a return in this game after not appearing in earlier games.

    I do find fault with the one island per console thing, but... I think that has been overly addressed to the point where My main issue with the game is the UI / Camera Layout.

    Listen, I'm fine with not being able to rotate my camera outside of my house. It really isn't needed. What is needed, however, is the ability to look top-down. Way too many times have I missed a glowing spot because they're hidden behind a building or something. It's great that you've included it with the end-of-game mechanic, which isn't to be named for spoiler warnings, but I think it should become part of the core game mechanic.

    The DIY crafting menu sucks, and so does the inventory menu. Let's say you're trying to craft items to sell because they make a ton of bells. Sure, you can mash A to speed up the crafting process, but what if you don't want to stress out the button you already spam for fishing? Gotta fork up some money to buy a controller with turbo, or something. I'd much rather have the option to craft multiple items at once. Speaking of "multiple items at once", it also wouldn't hurt to change how people divide stacks in your inventory. You need to select the item, and select "grab one" in order to move separate something from a stack, but only at one at a time. It'd be great if we could indicate how many we would like to separate from said stack to save on time. Also worth mentioning, but I don't think the game's worth $60. I don't have a reasoning behind this, but... I think $50 might be a more appropriate price.

    With all of that said, I'm not dropping the game. I love it and will keep playing it. It sucks that my little sister can't play the game too, but since I am playing this single-player... I'm fine with this. Hopefully, they can repatch the game to support multiple players in the near future.

    TL;DR:

    Pros:
    - "Similar" enough to older games
    - Able to finally move your home.
    - So many villagers to meet, some returning for the first time in a while!

    Mixed:
    - Crafting is cool but kinda tedious.

    Cons:
    - Camera angels are kinda annoying to hold.
    - ONE PROFILE PER CONSOLE.
    - Controversial opinion, but I don't think it's worth $60.

    Verdict: Honestly a 7.5/10, but I'll give it an 8.    … Expand

    Now however, as great as i just stated the game was, and let me reiterate still is, there are still issues with the game, for a start, Terra forming and overall island customization, i'm honestly surprised this hasn't been touched upon by other reviewers but i personally felt this side of the game incredibly frustrating and lacking in creative freedom, i lost count on the amount of times i went to place down a tree, in plenty of room, only to be told by the game that "There isn't enough room" on far too many occasions ideas for island designs where ruined by the games little leg room when it comes to item placing, Now. let me get onto Terra forming, now i'm willing to give the game some leniency in this department, partially because its a rare feature to find implemented in any Nintendo game period, never mind an Animal Crossing game, and while the feature is overwhelmingly well received and massive for giving the players a sense of customization and the ability to really make their island their own....its incredibly clunky, like to the point i almost don't want to use it, i don't know i feel like a lot of Animal Crossings customization features in this game are very limiting, while at the same time giving players the freedom to still do almost anything they desire, its a strange middle ground and one that while frustrating at times, i suppose i still managed to look past when you realize how simplistically charming the rest of the game is.

    In conclusion, is Animal Crossing a great game? Yes definitely, is it perfect? No, however with its charming art style, addictive game play, and ability to edit your island to your desire, is it a game that is guaranteed to keep you hooked and checking in every day? definitely    … Expand

I'm sure this is meant to encourage sharing a single town for a more genuine and social experience, but some players don't like to be told how to play and I get it.
    Almost every aspect of the game is beautiful and amazing. Though, the background music for the island is a bit monotonous and lacks the variety of previous titles. In all past titles, there were always one or more background songs that I genuinely loved but none from this one have really sung to me. Another problem I have with this game is that arranging stacked furniture outside in a particular orientation is cumbersome and sometimes outright impossible. Another final complaint, and I could be wrong here, but it seems like the non-event-specific DIY recipes are granted in a purely random fashion where a weighted random algorithm would likely be more fair and enjoyable to players.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been playing this game since launch and was really excited for this game beforehand, at first I was in love with the game and just happy to play a new animal crossing game on switch, I loved the fact we started off with basically nothing and had to work with Tom nook to build up our island, but after completing the little story mode in nook and having played the game for a while it’s not all I thought it would be. First I do love the fact that we have a lot more ways when customising our island such as getting to place and move villager houses, shops and museum and even our own house and the new terraforming tool is great, also really like the idea of crafting our own items and furniture feels like it gives me more things to do in the game itself and helps me when wanting more furniture/ items when doing my island up. Also love getting to go to the NMT islands to find villagers instead of getting a random villager moving in when one moves out. There is also a lot more seasonal events in the game which gives the player a lot more to do in game. Graphics have obviously improved and I actually like the new music in the game, and there is a lot more with character customisation. I feel like they have gone all out with the customisation in the game which I love as I can really be creative with my island But I feel like a have more negatives than positives which is a shame because i was really looking forward to this game. The game has improved in many ways but in others it just lacks a lot, firstly I feel like a lot of the personalities of the villagers just feel the same and they say the same things quite a lot and as soon as you speak to them once they kind of get sick of you if you try again, there is only 2 shops in the game (able sister and nooks cranny) and evening though these shops are good, I feel like we need more shops in the game and the shops we have could me improved so much more, for instance in able sisters when going into the changing room you can only buy a set of clothing and then need to come out and then back into the changing room and rinse and repeat if you want to buy multiple sets, it gets quite annoying after a while, also nooks cranny is lacking I feel like a get a lot of repeat furniture and the shop itself only has one upgrade with is a downgrade from previous games, this game does offer crafting so we can make most stuff ourselves but there’s a lot of furniture you have to buy and also I loved upgrading the shop multiple times as I became a goal for me. The game is either missing previous NPC’s or they are again lacking such as Leif and kicks only showing up every now and again only with a stall with a select amount of items and then the likes of rooster and his shop and a bunch of the ACNL Main Street shops missing with there NPC’s missing. The Nook mile tickets are w good idea but the items you can buy or always the same apart from the fence diys as they change daily, and I feel a lot of the NMT Islands become very similar after a while and don’t really offer anything unless your looking for a villager or a specific rare island but even then I feel like they should offer more, also more of a minor issue but I think we should have more custom design slots, we do have more than what we had in ACNL but still we should have a lot more, I feel like I see so many amazing custom designs online but I can’t use them as I have filled all my slots which custom designs that I am currently using on my island

    Also there is another 2 main issues I have with the game first being that there can only be one island per switch so if you share a switch with someone and you both want to play the game you have to play on the same island and only one player can do most of the stuff such as starting the island up when you create it, feel like this is such a step back considering the switch itself feels like its advertised as a family sharing console, also don’t like the fact that there is no cloud saves so if you make an island on one switch you can only play it on that switch, I think they are trying to make a way round this but still annoying

    I think a good thing about this game is that the devs are frequently updating the game and adding stuff in to the game bit by bit so a lot of the issues I have could be added in through an update which is good but that’s if they choose to add this stuff into the game and also I feel like some of my issues and things missing from the game shouldn’t of been added through updates they should of been apart of base game Overall I am still enjoying this game a lot but it could be so much more.    … Expand

    Animal Crossing es una experiencia increíble que crece día a día. Nunca antes había jugado algo de la saga y tenía mis dudas porque no sabía cómo un jueguito así me podría divertir: no tiene metas reales sino las que te propongas tú qué básicamente es hacer tu isla y tu casa bonita. Pues resulta que es mágico, es un juego hermoso que te enamora cada día. Llevo más de 210 horas jugadas yAnimal Crossing es una experiencia increíble que crece día a día. Nunca antes había jugado algo de la saga y tenía mis dudas porque no sabía cómo un jueguito así me podría divertir: no tiene metas reales sino las que te propongas tú qué básicamente es hacer tu isla y tu casa bonita. Pues resulta que es mágico, es un juego hermoso que te enamora cada día. Llevo más de 210 horas jugadas y sigo queriendo más. Cada actualización le da mas vida al juego y siempre hay cosas qué hacer, a pesar que ya hayas alcanzado las famosas 5 estrellas.

    Los residentes de la isla son mis amigos y, de un tiempo acá, decidimos que íbamos a dejarlos ir cuando se quisieran ir, y es doloroso porque los voy a extrañar. El mundo que hay fuera que hacen los que juegan este juego es maravilloso y es que te contagia la buena vibra de alguna forma. Quieres ayudar a todos, ser amigos, conocer islas.

    El apartado técnico está muy bien: los gráficos son súper bonitos, la música es un espectáculo, un gran 10, la jugabilidad está bien, adecuada para lo que se requiere. Luego está la lentitud del juego, pero creo que es parte de la experiencia.

    El juego no es perfecto. Tiene errores muy puntuales que los corregirían con tan poco, pero creo que no quieren corregirlo: 1ro: una sola isla para todos. Vamos que esto debería ser una opción y no una imposición, pero la verdad es que va con el rollo del juego de todo bonito y tal, de compartir, pero quita la experiencia al segundo jugador. 2do: el online es tan mediocre y fastidioso que uno se lo tiene que pensar antes de visitar a una isla o recibir visitas. “Alguien está llegando a tu isla”. En conclusión: un verdadero must. Pagué 46€ y los volvería a pagar y volvería a gastar 210 horas en hacer de mi isla un hogar.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Animal Crossing is a very fun game to play, mostly in the beginning. First off you're first two islanders are not totally random as the male will always be a Jock villager and the female will always be an Uchi villager. So in those regards if you're favorite villager is in one of those two categories then you could just keep soft resetting until you get one of them. Now there is a lot to do once you begin like fishing and catching bugs for your museum, but there is a lot of halt in progress in trying to get materials once you need to open the shop and it is expected in Animal Crossing that you will need to wait for it to open. There's really no problem with this and if you can't really wait just time travel a day ahead if you really don't wanna wait, it just depends on how you want to play. Now as of now it seems like a just long halt waiting for something new to happen. Of course since it's now June there is a lot more fish and bugs you're able to catch so that can give you something to do, but what happens when you catch everything you need? It seems like a cycle of just waiting for something new to come or just hoping a new event will happen soon, but besides that right now we need some quality of life changes. Like being able to access materials from home, people able to craft multiple things at once, etc. We got an upgraded inventory and it still feels small having to hold all these materials around all the time. Now moving on the topic of villagers, at least now you don't have to worry about a villager moving away on you randomly since they will always ask if they should leave or not, but it does get a little repetitive talking to them because they mostly say the same things all the time and if you have two of the same personality types of two villagers, you're not seeing double, you're seeing the same dialogue. But besides that, they are at least very interactive now and don't just walk around aimlessly doing nothing. On to the topic of online, since I only really play with one person it doesn't work that badly, but when in a group of people it could be very annoying seeing someone arrive every 5 minutes and having to wait through the loading time. Besides that, it doesn't really feel like there's much to do online, it just feels like you're doing your basic activities but on someone else's island. Sure you could come up with some mini games to play with your friends, that's always an idea, but that's not content from the game. That's you coming up with your own ideas of how to make the game fun. As of right now the game feels very stale, and just waiting around for something new to do isn't very exciting, hopefully we get some new content soon because as of right now everything just feels repetitive.… Expand

    Not taking in account of second players or multiplayer as those factors will affect the rating. This game is a nice sequel on the switch and the gameplay is nice and subtle over the course of every day as resources take time to gather. it is a nice slice of life game and hope that they will put in the effort to help issues involving additional players to the island.

He jugado desde Wild World, y las posibilidades que ofrece New Horizons son una maravilla. Siento que han escuchado a los fans, que antes hacíamos caminos y personalizábamos el pueblo con diseños, al implementar el terraforming. Que puedan ponerse muebles en todo el exterior hace que tu isla pueda ser única, es la evolución que esperaba de la saga, la que siempre deseé. Además, hay muchísimas opciones de ropa y personalización del personaje. Los cambios por estaciones son geniales, los gráficos son bonitos, la música es relajante, la sensación al jugarlo es muy agradable. Siento que tengo un lugar al que huir del estrés.
    No le doy un diez por algunas cosas: no me gusta encontrarme casi siempre los mismos muebles en la tienda, de los mismos colores, ni que me den casi siempre las mismas recetas. Por otro lado, las conversaciones con los vecinos se hacen un poco repetitivas. Las introducciones de Canela son tan repetitivas y aburridas que las paso sin leerlas, lo más rápido posible. Y aunque no viajo en el tiempo (me parece que cada uno puede jugar como le plazca), no me gusta depender de las actualizaciones para tener el juego completo, en mi casa el internet no es bueno y muchas veces no tengo siquiera conexión. Por otra parte, decir que es normal que sólo se pueda tener una isla por juego, en todos los Animal Crossing sólo puedes tener un pueblo por juego, es exactamente lo mismo. Lo que no me parece bien es que la isla esté ligada a la consola, lo veo un gran error. Si compras otro juego, deberías tener otra isla, que para eso lo has pagado.    … Expand

    a pleasant getaway from reality with lots of different ways to be creative and make your own unique island. only thing keeping me from giving it a 10 is i wish there were more ways to interact with the environment, but with updates constantly being made i'm sure that will be fixed. A game to play for years to come!

Así que no comprendo a esa gente que se queja de "un rey, 7 esclavos" evidentemente jamás jugaron un animal crossing... o se trata de un anti nintendo que le molesta saber que este juego tiene muchisimo potencial y no en sus juegos de su consola favorita.

    Interesante eso de poder decorar sin necesidad de trámites en el uso de muebles tanto interior como exterior de tu casa, lo cuál abre la puerta a más posibilidades.

    El único aspecto negativo del juego lamentablemente cae en lo más importante del juego. Los condenados animales del AC.
    ¿Por qué?
    Porque al parecer los desarrolladores estaban más ocupados en hacerle caso a lo que pedían los youtubers que en su vida habían tocado el juego ni con un palo y por mera moda pedían cosas como más gente en el online, que estoy en un 100% seguro que no todos lo usan a full. Basta que uno tenga mal conexión y toda la diversión termina en el tacho de basura.

    Nuevamente los animales se sienten como bots, que dependiendo de su naturaleza gruñona o feliz, etc, siempre dirán lo mismo. Por lo cual es decepcionante. Estamos hablando de más de 300 animales y fallan en la profundidad de dichos, cosas que en juegos anteriores si poseían e incluso secretos de cada uno, que acá son inexistentes, al menos en todo el tiempo que lo llevo jugando.

    Por eso nada más le ha costado llevarse el último punto para llegar al 10, en algo que debiera ser primordial, hacer más "natural" en los animales y que no se sientan como bots.

    Muchas gracias youtubers caquitas que piden cosas demasiado estúpidas, sólo para hacer que más gente participe en sus directos que más que seguro ya ni usan.    … Expand

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is basically perfect. Full of wholesome content that helped us cope with the COVID-19 pandemics, the game keeps the heart of its predecessors while innovating enough to make it unique. It may not have won Game of the Year but it'll be the game we all remember from 2020, for sure.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a stunning new instalment in the Animal Crossing franchise, hindered only by its lack of immediate content, quality of life issues and missing returning characters and features While future updates will give the game long-term playability, for those already sipping vacation juice on their five-star islands, island life feels pretty mundane right now.
