Critic Reviews for Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer
Charming yet utterly aimless, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a curious off-shoot that's best for those with a sweet tooth.
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a brand new take on the series that manages to make moving furniture fun, but fails to innovate in a meaningful way.
Happy Home Designer gets pretty much everything right when it comes to decorating, encouraging creativity, and exploring different styles. It's sometimes unsatisfying to work without a sense of progression, but taking away progression unlocks means there's no limits on the creativity you can express with Animal Crossing's huge range of options. There's no shortage of actual designing to do, and the series' charm prevents it from becoming just a series of soulless tasks. Plus, you won't have to worry about being in debt with a raccoon this time around.
Utterly charming with a fantastic set of design tools, but it'll make you crave the freedom of more traditional Animal Crossing games.
It's a deep dive into Animal Crossing's ordinarily shallow home-design pool, without the town elements that make the series such a success
Despite revamped controls and a cheerful aesthetic, Happy Home Designer still feels like a dead-end job.
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is a fun twist on the original Animal Crossing games.
