Review of Animal Crossing: Pocket Edition Complete

I have been an animal crossing lover my entire life. I have played every game from Game Cube to Switch I have worked for Tom Nook and given him all my money. I tried the original Animal Crossing Pocket Camp when it first came out in 2017. It was very different than even a year ago, there was a lot more waiting and fewer villagers, and honestly, it wasn't as fun as I had hoped. However, the deciding factor that made me delete the app was the in-game purchases. I would see other people get so much further, and get so many cute things, all because they paid money. I was not surprised at all, most apps are like that nowadays, and come on it's Nintendo. We all know they love to take us for our money. I played it here and there for the first few years it was out but I have yet to get into it. 

I then saw the other day they were shutting it down, but what can you do, and then I was surprised to see Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete. I was confused and curious. I looked into it and saw that they got rid of in-game purchases and packed 7 years' worth of gameplay into this new edition. I was intrigued of course. I rarely ever pay for apps, I think the last time was when I got Minecraft on my mom's iPod. But I needed to try this, I needed to see what they did. So I bought it.

I started a new save to get a fresh experience, mostly because I haven't played in years. And just from their improvements to the game over the years, I would already say it is worth the money. But after playing it for the last week, I absolutely love this game, it has everything I want in a phone game. Long-term projects to play through the days, short-term projects to play on break at work, cute animals, no in-game purchase, and they did so many quality-of-life updates to the way the game ran that it is genuinely so fun to play.

This game makes it easy but there is still a lot of stuff you have to do. I love the fact that everyone has the same chance, I can speed things up just as much as the next person. They do make it so that if you have had an account and used the money on it before toy still can use that account, it is a different type of currency. I would really recommend this game, it is currently 10 bucks USD. I heard they were going to up the price to 20 dollars after the first little while of the game being out so I would suggest getting it now. I also found out you have until June 1, 2025, to transfer your stuff from the previous version. They do plan on shutting down the serious version as well! Add me and leave a comment letting me know!
