upends our everyday life, and like many people on social media, I’m finding contentment in the comforting mundanity ofis a game of chores. You walk around your island finding things that you can sell for bells to buy different clothes and furniture, or pay off your housing loan only to have Tom Nook convince you into another home expansion, only to owe him more money. Chat with neighbors to get a better idea of who they are and occasionally get gifts from them.
, the stakes are low. There’s no real peril. Sure, a shot of adrenaline might wake you up when you shake a tree and wasps storm out, but you can easily catch them with your net or run safely home. And if you do get stung, your swollen eye can quickly be healed using some weeds. Sure, there’s a pesky tarantula that emerges at night that can give you a nasty bite, but you’ll just wake up at your house.
New Horizons also has online social features that allow you to visit your friends’ islands — which makes for a nice social distancing alternative to the exhausting slate of FaceTimes and Zoom chats we’re all piling on. I’d much rather see a friend’s island and how they’ve decorated theirAnd with that socializing comes a layer of sharing and helping. When a person starts on, they get one fruit that’s native to their island .
Daily life has changed dramatically for so many people who are now spending a lot more time at home and away from friends. Meanwhile, we’re more aware than ever of globalization, and the ways we are all connected. Right now, the world feels both way too big and way too small —presents a fresh yet manageable middle ground, a contained island paradise of life and color instead of a limitless open world.
