For structures, you can move buildings or build bridges and ramps - all of which you can see in our guides, too. For characters, you can change your hair and choose among many faces, galleries of which you can see in our guides. If you’re into making money and farming important items like Iron Nuggets (and why wouldn’t you be, honestly?), we’ve got a series of guides for you, too - as well as reference lists of rewards you’ll earn with Nook Miles+ rewards and Nook Mileage rewards (which sound kind of the same but aren’t). And don’t miss our guides about the things you can and should do every day to make more money (Bells) - like literally growing money from trees. We’ve got a ton about upgrades, too, like how to increase your inventory and upgrade your tools. Our beginners guides focus on your first several days, teaching you how to pick a good island, tips about where to place your tent, and a helpful list of things you should do every day in New Horizons. We’ve organized our guides into several sections to help you throughout your journey.

There’s so much on offer in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. For all of those reasons and more, we chose New Horizons as one of our top games of 2020. The game became a place for people to escape their real-world stresses, to connect with one another virtually (especially for holidays that couldn’t happen in-person, like Halloween and Thanksgiving), to protest injustices, and even to hear about political campaigns. Animal Crossing: New Horizons brings islands of fun to the Nintendo Switch, and Polygon’s guides will help you make the most of your time in a game that, as we wrote in our review, couldn’t have come at a better time.Īmidst worldwide lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Animal Crossing: New Horizons broke sales records and resonated with the many players who picked it up.
