It\u2019s a game that can be played on nearly any platform including mobile. I play on either Xbox or Nintendo Switch. This game has very deep lore that I could talk about for days. You inherit a farm from your grandfather in Pelican Town to get started. It is now your job to man the farm throughout the harsh seasons as well as do different tasks for the townsfolk. While doing this, you can form relationships with the NPCs and even get to marry one. While I have not married anyone yet, the idea is fun. On your first day on the farm, the mayor gives you 15 parsnip seeds you must plant and water daily to finish a task. Mayor Lewis is an interesting character who likes to sneak around town at night. He delivers the mail, gives you money for things you sell, and even sneaks around with Ms. Marnie (if you know about his purple shorts, you know). The game is so interesting because it is unique to how you want to set it up. Some characters are at first mean, but you can make them nice by just interacting with them. If you don\u2019t interact with some characters, they will hate you. There is also a community center that must be restored and it becomes your job to fix it up. You must fix it by bringing certain items to the community center and placing them in a box found in each room. When brought to the community center by the mayor, he mentions a corporation called Joja that wants to buy the land that the center is on from the town. The mayor doesn\u2019t want that to happen but he has decided that one more person must buy a Joja membership before he sells the land. That person is you. You can either buy a membership or help out the mayor. Most players help the mayor, or at least that&#8217;s what I did. I could talk about the farming aspects or the fishing forever. This game is honestly one of the most fun I\u2019ve played in years. I started on my new farm not too long ago and have already logged over 20 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1
