Iceland-[ˈaɪslənd]
island-[ˈaɪlənd]

During the period of COVID-19 crossing the world, a game of Nintendo Switch began to be popular.In this Spring,because of the game, all of Switch were once sold out in Asia. Now,let me talk about this famous game-Animal Crossing.

Animal crossing is one of my favorite simulation games, at least for now.

When I first time to play the game,my first impression that was so magnificent. There had a wealth of story, also were many charming scenes and a lot of wonderful background music.

The most attractive thing was a mass of residents here, who were all kinds of cute animals.

No complex story plots in this game. After escaped to a deserted island , you just need to create your own virtual stand-in as the protagonist in the game,and need to build your own paradise as you explore.

On the deserted island, you can customize your home, decorations, and even the landscape itself.

Also you can invite the animal residents who you are loving to move to your island.

The highlight of this game is connect online. You can show off your paradise utopia to your friends, to the world community, and even pack your bags to visit theirs.

In my paradise named “Hung huge island”, I usually hunts insects at the crack of dawn, decorate and explore there throughout the day, or enjoy sunset with my friends on the beach, while fishing in the ocean. By the way, the time of day and season match real life, so each day on my island is a chance to check in and find new surprises everyday.

Recently, “Grand Fireworks” takes place every weekend. Even if my friends are not beside me in real life, we still be together in the game here. When we look up at the starry sky, everywhere we look, the magic of fireworks blooming blazes in the front of our eyes. Nothing as beautiful as the things we see. It is an impressive moment that always moved me deeply.

I love simulation games, especially some on iPhone,I can play them whenever,however,and wherever I want. I also love “Animal Crossing” which is a new horizons game.

Escape to my island getaway anytime if you feel tired or bored. But first, you need to get a Switch which is got too hard at the moment.
