    See, I never understood Animal Crossing. I had it on the Game Cube. “I know, let’s take an RPG, remove everything interesting to do, and just leave an inventory system, massive debt, and fishing.”

      Most of the fun was chasing my friends around and smacking their heads with bug nets. And finding things that they wanted and leaving gifts on their beaches. The game itself wasn’t fun, which is why I haven’t played it since we all went back to our lives after covid.

      I would not compare it to an RPG. I’d say it’s more akin to Sims perhaps. The appeal is the coziness, discovering the variety of villagers, customizing your island, designing your home.
