My biggest gripe with New Horizons is that it feels like they removed everything that made the AC franchise so unique in the first place. There’s always been so much charm in how quirky and eccentric Animal Crossing is at times and NH just has… none of that. Remember Gyroids? One of the most iconic features of the series that have been in every game and now they’re gone for no reason. Remember when we had hundreds and hundreds of fun furniture items like a sofa literally made out of playing cards and a giant macaron that plays music? Now we have like 6 furniture sets that all fit the same cutesy cottagecore aesthetic. I miss when we had characters like Phyllis and Dr. Shrunk and Katrina. Everything that made AC so special in the first place has been heavily watered down or removed entirely and at this point New Horizons feels like a glorified version of The Sims but for furries
