The Animal Crossing franchise has always held an important place in my heart, with Wild World on the Nintendo DS being my introduction to it. The idea of life sims has always appealed to me, largely because it’s fun to escape from my own life, and Animal Crossing, up until Stardew Valley dropped, was the poster child for the genre. It absolutely embodies that cozy feeling players have been chasing, that warm welcome that no other game really gives, that peaceful complacency that makes everything feel like if only for a moment, it’ll be okay.
