The time is right
With a good portion of the world staying home, whether it’s to stay safe or because of a mandated lockdown, a lot of people have time to kill. What better way to kill time than a game based on grinding at every step? Animal Crossing is a slow paced game, with every action being deliberate and time consuming. Want to craft? Gotta go through long animations. Want to donate some fossils? Well you have to assess them first, and then go through an exchange back just to give them to the museum. This is on top of having a ton of stuff to do, so the to-do list never ends.
Whether you see this as good or bad, this game is a time sink. Once you start playing you can spend hours, days, weeks just toiling away making your island your own.
It’s relaxing
It’s hard to describe Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but a few words I’d use would be “relaxing” and “delightful.” The graphics are oh so pretty, the music and sound effects are calming. When you play games like Call of Duty Warzone or Doom Eternal, you’re constantly on edge. Don’t get me wrong, both of those games are fantastic and very fun, but they’re the furthest thing from relaxing.
When you play Animal Crossing, you’re fishing or digging for fossils or just chatting with residents. All in all, it’s a really chill game to play and a great way to relax, and that’s something we need right now.
The social experience
It’s a time where people are really starved of social interaction. Stuck at home and unable to travel, people are relegated to technology to converse. Calls and video chat are great, but a lot of folks are taking it a step further and visiting each other’s islands on Animal Crossing. While it isn’t a replacement for a good phone call, it’s still a nice way to share a moment with a friend or loved one.
The game is surprisingly deep
When you star Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it seems like a pretty simple game. Even hours into it, you’re doing the same things over and over. Is the game limited to fishing and digging up fossils?
Well, no. The game is surprisingly deep and full of things to do. The slow pace guarantees you learn these things really late into the game, and frankly, the game doesn’t teach you a lot of the things you need to know at all. It’ll take a bunch of Googling to figure it all out. But there’s a lot more substance than it initially seems, and that bodes well for long term gaming.
And best of all, there are events for holidays. There are bugs and fish that only come during certain real world seasons. Certain items can only be purchased at certain times. If you like the game, you’ll be playing for a long time.
Nostalgia
For a lot of people, a huge draw of New Horizons is nostalgia. The game is shockingly similar to its previous iterations; in fact, some may argue that this is closer to a remaster than a full new title. Sure there are features that are added, but a lot of the gameplay and quirks and oddities are lifted right out of old games.
Those who played these games when they were kids are sure to love it. It’s a throwback to childhood and it makes sense why not much was changed. However it may be offputting to newer players as the game feels rooted in the old days, both in gameplay and in flaws.
If you have a Nintendo Switch, and you’re looking for a relaxing game to play during the quarantine, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a solid choice. Those returning to the series are sure to love it, and while not everyone will enjoy the old school grindey nature, New Horizons is a good way to jump into the series for the first time. And if you don’t have a Switch, you can save $60 and try the free mobile version!

On March 20, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was released worldwide. The newest game in the popular Nintendo franchise was released at the perfect time, with folks needing an escape from the stresses of current events and also a fun way to connect with friends and loved ones while social distancing.
For those who have never played an Animal Crossing game, New Horizons follows the same basic premise of the other games in the franchise: You are dropped into a new place filled with cute little animal companions for company. In this case, you land on a deserted island, where you can catch local fauna (bugs & fish), plant trees, build furniture, tools, and amenities, and enjoy island life with your animal residents or bring your friends over for a visit! The game syncs to your calendar and clock, so depending on the time and season things happening on the island will change.
One fun feature in the game is the ability to make your own custom designs for items like wallpaper, flooring, and clothes. And hockey fans have definitely ran with making sure they can show off their team’s pride in-game.
RMNB’s Donya Abramo use the custom design editor to make her very own Braden Holtby jersey!

She also made an away variant, and a Sabres jersey as well.

Her inspiration came from user @TheMizCB on twitter, who had made their own Holtby jersey:

On Reddit, user u/Goomba_Face made a whole smorgasbord of NHL jerseys for your character to wear (the designs can be scanned into the game via QR code using the NookLink secion of the Nintendo Switch app on your mobile device). Including several throwback Capitals designs:
RMNB’s Rachel Cohen (it me!) also couldn’t wait for the game’s release. So using that hype as my inspiration, I drew every NHL mascot how I imagined they would look like a villager in Animal Crossing!
I am SO UNBELIEVABLY HYPE for Animal Crossing: New Horizons coming out next week so I've decided to take a crack at drawing all the NHL's Mascots how I think they'd look as an AC Villager. 🍃 pic.twitter.com/wkHoPr2eNf

My favorites from the series include:
Harvey the Hound from Calgary
Animal Crossing Paths Qr Codes
@HarveyTheHound_ was the NHL’s VERY 1ST MASCOT, entertaining fans of the @NHLFlames since 1983.
Harvey made headlines in 2003 when EDM coach Craig McTavish, fed up w/ Harvey’s taunting, tore off his signature red tongue! This pup is hockey tough tho, and was quickly patched up. pic.twitter.com/Hre7vzZ9hQ

Detroit’s Al the Octopus
During the 1952 NHL Playoffs, the tradition of throwing an
octopus onto the @DetroitRedWings' rink for luck was born.
Al the Octopus made his official debut in Hockeytown during the 1995 playoffs, and is named after the team’s arena manager, Al Sobotka. #LGRWpic.twitter.com/rFdmyi8O6h

Gritty
'IT ME.' @GrittyNHL is the NHL’s newest mascot, emerging from his secret hideout in 2018 due to construction at the @NHLFlyers' arena.
An odd but always lovable guy, Gritty enjoys making lot of mischief with opposing teams, but loves his fans, aka “gritizens.” #FlyOrDiepic.twitter.com/xVve2bvhxd

Fin of the Vancouver Canucks
.@CanucksFIN has been helping cheer on the @Canucks since 2001. He is one of the few mascots who loves playing goalie!
His signature moves include shooting mist from his blowhole and chomping on the heads of the opposition. #Canuckspic.twitter.com/YORxj41zeF

Slapshot
The original model for the Great Seal of the USA, @Caps_Slapshot is a bald eagle who has been Unleashing the Fury with the @Capitals since “landing gracefully somewhere between the penalty box and the blue line” in 1995.
His favourite food is Swedish Fish. #ALLCAPSpic.twitter.com/WiSZOEKoSW

The whole series is also available as a printed zine, with fun little factoids about each team’s mascot.
Are you showing off your hockey team’s pride in New Horizons?? If so, show us how! And in these turbulent times, we should all take to heart the wise words of the fortune teller Katrina and remember that the bad times… are just times that are bad.
