Animal Crossing: New Horizons is considered the fifth installment in the life simulation series. You can safely play it without familiarity with previous titles. In addition to improved graphics, the sequel differs from its predecessors in a new location and additional features. Here the events take place on a desert island. The player creates a character and purchases a ticket to new lands that need to be improved. There are no deadlines. The gameplay here is meditative. The emphasis is on calmly performing routine tasks.

The name of the title is translated into Russian as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This game introduced the ability to create tools and furniture, as well as change the landscape. In the character editor you can now not only choose gender, appearance and hairstyle, but also customize skin color. The extraction of resources, caring for plants, fishing, catching insects, collecting fruits and other activities have not gone away. The harvested crop and catch can be donated to a local museum or sold. Money plays an important role. They are needed not only to buy various things, but also to pay off loans for tickets and housing.

As you progress, new crafting recipes and objects for construction open up. For example: bridges. Gradually, other inhabitants appear on the island. These are mostly humanoid animals. The user can improve and furnish his home, as well as help animals settle down. As in previous installments of the franchise, the timer in this video game is strictly tied to time in real life. At the very beginning, they let you set the time zone. Some events and heroes are available strictly on specific days and only during the day or evening. In addition to the single-player mode, there is local and online multiplayer. You can invite other players to visit you or visit their worlds.
