With players no longer cooped inside, wasting time with daily island tedium became something of the past. Soon enough, islands that were full of beauty and care, quickly fell into disrepair. Yet while the game launched to excellent reviews, our own included, its lack of continual updates over time became much more noticeable. Having launched at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the title has been a relaxing distraction from the real world for many people, evidenced by its mammoth sales, which led it to become the best-selling Switch game of Nintendo’s fiscal year from 1 st April 2020 to 31 st March 2021. Since its arrival on the Nintendo Switch last year, Animal Crossing New Horizons has been somewhat of a haven for both veterans and newcomers to the series. With the promise of additional design features, such as partitions, pillars and counters, alongside the return of some familiar faces, will Happy Home Paradise be a match made in heaven for patient, budding stylists? Return to New Horizons and experience the highs and lows of an interior designer’s life with the latest DLC, Happy Home Paradise.
