Coming from somebody who has played every Animal Crossing, I agree it seems a bit lifeless, they gutted the match and have been slowly trickling in older features/characters through upgrades, you can not even upgrade the Nook store which was a staple of previous games, I can absolutely admit that they fucked up, despite me having 500+ hours in New Horizons.If you want to know more about AC, you can visit https://www.acbells.com/
