MAGE CAST is back from the dead! On this episode, podcaster and VR pioneer Aaron aka SanityCrypto and I talk Animal Crossing: New Horizons, our newfound island addiction. We discuss why we were even interested in playing New Horizons in the first place, task-oriented gameplay, Tom Nook for president, Pocket Camp, genre and series context, review bombing and hyperbole, ACNH sales, what the game doesn’t tell you, addressing the multiplayer and co-op, the worst, the best, and the missing features, pixel art: the real endgame, how to “evict” villagers, time-traveling, and farming monsters.
