It can be said that Animal Crossing: New Horizons now won the whole world in early 2020. But just recently, another iteration of the simulator of life has always appeared in our field of vision. The simultaneous outbreak of Pocket Camp and Nintendo Switch games can also help New Horizons now find some shortcomings.
Perhaps this is often an unfair comparison, provided that Pocket Camp has had over two years to ascertain itself and expand. Animal Crossing Bells can be purchased from BuyBellsACNH.com Allow us to remember that, when it came out, many folks felt bummed about the grundy Animal Crossing experience Pocket Camp provided, and therefore the way it seemed built for microtransactions.
Players who are still enjoying Pocket Camp tell Polygon these aspects haven’t entirely changed in 2020. But this is often also somewhat balanced by the very fact that the mobile game is bringing its A-game to the table.
Furniture sets and decorations are cute in ways in which make me, as a brand-new Horizons player who is supposedly getting a “premium” experience, intensely jealous. This envy is partially fueled by the knowledge that Pocket Camp makes more of an endeavor to integrate this stuff into its world. New Horizons, in contrast, sounds like a more static experience.
New Horizons has some great animations, too. I like watching my villagers do zoomies or seeing them pull out a phone to require an image. Every so often, you’ll also spot villagers using an item you’ve laid around, which is often a delight. But not only are these New Horizons interactions sparse, they feel slight once we compare them to a traditional scene out of Pocket Camp, as you’ll see within the videos below. Pocket Camp has unique animations and interactions for nearly everything you'll place on the Animal Crossing Nook Miles Ticket map.
Although a large number of items need to be purchased, Pocket Camp designers make these suits worth the money. Where New Horizons now slowly introduces new features and new items, Pocket Camp can be said to provide players with greater freedom.
