The 5 best games like Animal Crossing - WSTPost

preview

I love Animal Crossing: New Horizons as much as the next life simulation gamer. However, it became lackluster after a while, especially when Nintendo announced the last major update in November 2021.I longed for a new story. One that’s just as relaxing as Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but with a unique twist. After searching extensively for similar titles, I found five that you might want to try.These games appeal to anyone who wants to enjoy a cozy and wholesome experience. You can also find the developer, price and platforms of each title.Immerse yourself in the Sanrio world. / SunblinkDeveloper: Sun winksPrice: The game requires an Apple Arcade subscription, which is free for one month and $6.99/month thereafter.Platform(s): iOS (Apple Arcade)In this Apple exclusive game you’ll find all your favorite Sanrio characters, like My Melody, Cinnamoroll and – of course – Hello Kitty. Players can fish, decorate their homes, catch insects, customize their character, and perform other delightful activities as they restore the beauty of an island.

Stardew Valley is one of the stars among farming simulators. It was released in 2016 and players still can’t get enough of it. Because of the abundance of things to do, it’s easy for people to get lost in the game for hours.Many players love Stardew Valley because of its characters, all of which have different personalities. You can build relationships (platonic or romantic) with them while enjoying the typical farm life, which includes caring for animals, fishing, clearing land for crops, and more. Stardew Valley also has continuous updates, so you’re guaranteed not to get bored.Fly high in a short hike! / Adam Robinson-YuDeveloper: Adam Robinson YuPrice: $7.99Platform(s): Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, itch.io, Epic Games Store, Steam, GOGAn underrated but enjoyable title that every leisurely gamer should try A short hike. It’s a short adventure, but worth it. There are several reasons why it is one of my favorite titles on this list.You play a sparrow named Claire who has to reach the summit of Hawk Peak Provincial Park. However, there is no rush. You can hike, climb and float wherever you want. Find treasure, go fishing and help other hikers with their problems on the way to the summit. A Short Hike offers cute graphics, relaxing gameplay and funny dialogues. You can get all of this for just $7.99. That’s a bargain!A bizarre adventure. / GlumberlandDeveloper: GlumberlandPrice: $29.99Platform(s): Steam, Nintendo Switch, Epic Games Store, XboxLast but not least, it is Ooblets.

Collect Ooblet seeds to breed more of these guys. You can also befriend the townspeople if you prefer human friends.
