Principle of the game<\/h2>\n\n

The child can be guided in his progress on the island. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a role-playing and simulation game available only on Nintendo Switch. <\/p>\n\n

The player begins his game by landing on a deserted island, he discovers the local population and begins to create a community with a village by doing services to everyone and cleaning the place.<\/p>\n\n

Islanders tend to be helpful and friendly, encouraging the player to have fun and being grateful for their help. The game is easy to take in hand and play, and there is no goal to “win” or “lose”. The player can just discover the island and live life as he sees fit. It can develop and give the shape it wishes to the island. It can build tools to catch insects, fish and dig up fossils. He can create clothes and offer them to other city dwellers or other players. It can arrange the flowers and trees of its island. It’s like the player looking after a small virtual Zen garden. A perfect title to relax. <\/p>\n\n

This is a very good game and the continuation of a long series of games started in 2001. There is no need to make the old games to understand how it works. It’s self-sufficient. Nintendo has been able to iterate many times to arrive at this excellent title. <\/p>\n\n

Local game modes<\/h2>\n\n

Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be played solo or up to 4 players each at home on the island of the game, on a console. Everyone plays in turn. <\/p>\n\n

Online gaming modes<\/h2>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to be able to play on the Internet with friends or other people. <\/p>\n\n

The game can be played up to 8 players in the same village on the Internet. Players can then exchange items, bells (the currency of the game, only virtual).<\/p>\n\n

While there is no rudeness or offensive language in the game, its online features could potentially expose players to inappropriate content created by other players.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

The backup of this game cannot be archived online and cannot be transferred to other Nintendo Switch consoles.<\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n

We recommend this very good game to everyone, from the moment, where the person can read and understand the simple texts of the game.<\/p>\n\n
