2 years later, how often are you currently playing New Horizons?

[Pixiebelle]

Lately just once or twice a week to do dailies. tbh, knowing we're not getting another update has put me off slightly. I don't have much left to do other than finishing a few collections and terraforming (which I find super difficult) so until I'm motivated to make everything pretty it's like...ehhh

 

[kayleee]

I don’t play it very often at all, but I still have to finish the dlc and I want to do that at least. I’ll go back to it eventually, there are just a lot of other things I want/need to do so I don’t have as much time for it lately.

 

[pochy]

usually once every few months, just to talk to my fave villagers

 

[CanuckChick]

I’ve stopped playing for several months now since real life has been much busier. I tried checking in only Sat nights to get my KK badge but lost interest lol, I may pick it up again someday though.

I’m now obsessed with Pocket Camp since it fits my schedule better and I can play for just 10-15 mins at a time and pick it up again anytime vs spending hours decorating in HHP or ACNH.

Yes, the leaf tix system sucks in PC but I found by exchanging gifts with a lot of ppl on a regular basis, you increase the odds of getting items that are worth a lot of LTs. So it is possible to not spend any money in that game!

I still play every single day, for around 30-45 minutes though. There are still a ton of things i don't have from the new expansion, so waiting for them in my Nook's/balloons/island tour

I haven't played in awhile. I redecorated my island and updated my dream address in February and then lost interest again. I just bought the new Pokemon game so it might be awhile before I picked up New Horizons again.

Ah jeez, I haven't touched NH (Only to play it to coincide with the Play for 300 days Nook Mile Achievement) to play it fully often, I've mostly moved on to NL because I find there's more to do than just decorate.

Now, NH is fun, but I feel it has slowly turned into a sandbox game rather than a life sim.

 

[Imaginetheday]

I slowed down my playing for awhile in 2021, but started playing more when the update was announced. Now I play pretty much daily. I don't worry if I miss a day here or there.

I stopped playing daily around July 2020, and I haven't consistently played it since then. not even with the 2.0 update coming out. I just can't really seem to get back into the game (whereas I'm still playing AC:GCN and New Leaf relatively often). I thought restarting would help but it honestly didn't. tbf I have like 670 hours in the game, but I know a lot of people here have way more than that

Now, NH is fun, but I feel it has slowly turned into a sandbox game rather than a life sim.

basically my thoughts exactly, I feel like there's almost too much freedom to do whatever in the game and it honestly makes it really overwhelming to play, whereas in older games there were more limitations and, oddly enough, the more limits you have the more creative you can get (at least that's true for many people).

 

[Flicky]

I haven't been playing from day one (got it for Christmas that same year), but I'm still playing daily. Although I did take a break for Legends Arceus.

At the moment my focus is finishing my DIY collection and finishing my island, but I think I'll return to Legends once I've done that.

 

[Croconaw]

I stopped playing and won’t play it again.

 

[visibleghost]

a few times a week, sometimes i'm really busy and don't play a lot but i still play regularly.

 

[Corrie]

I play every once in a while. Lately I've been into it daily but it'll fade out eventually and I'll be back to logging in once a month lol.

 

[Bui]

I stopped playing regularly around September 2020 when I took a 2 month break from the game, and stopped almost entirely in March 2021, aside from a week or so for the 2.0 update. I haven't played since November 2021 and have no plans to play it again.

I finally decided to get a Switch around the time of ACNH release (specifically to play ACNH), but the game was sold out in-store, so I ended up waiting for delivery. I'm not sure why I didn't just get a digital copy, but I'm thankful I didn't because I have two Switches now, so the cartridge is useful. I ended up being able to play for the first time on 18 May 2020!

Initially I was fairly busy with Pokémon Sword. When I did start dedicating a lot of time to progressing my island, I played daily and I probably played daily for at least a year. Currently, I have so much RL work that I'm checking in about once a week. I'm hoping to increase my playtime soon, because I'd like to finish decorating the villager houses on my island, and I also have some ideas about moving villager house locations and improving some of their front yards/surroundings! I'm happy to report I still have my two starter villagers, Agnes and Louie. They were the first two houses I renovated when it was unlocked (Louie was still using a sleeping bag). I also still have Rhonda, who was one of my first five villagers, and her house is up next for renovation.

 

[Kalle]

I go through spurts of playing a little every day or once in a while for an hour or two.

 

[azurill]

I have been playing since release day. I forgot the anniversary was today. I was playing daily until recently. I have limited play time so most of that time has gone to Pokémon legends. I do wish to change out some of my villagers on both islands. I still need to finish the museum on my second island.

 

[McRibbie]

Aside from a break of about 2 weeks while I got my Switch repaired (I need to send it off again, because they found the screen was damaged and replaced it… badly) I’ve been playing it daily since launch!

There’s still things to do: DIY recipes to get, the CJ and Flick models that I’ve missed getting a load of due to laziness, and I’m still seeking out some Saharah and Kicks items, and of course, making my island look nice without making it look too cluttered.

I DO want to go and revisit the DS and Wii-era games at some point, but until I get bored of NH properly, that isn’t happening.

 

[Sheydra]

Still play everyday, I find new things to do. First was the muesum now recipes. Specially that illusive wooden music box.

Daily but spend less time. Just check on the villager for DIY, store, Kappa Island DIY and HHP DIY.
