My first animal crossing game was New Leaf and I absolutely adored that game. I have been a huge fan of the series ever since, and was excitedly awaiting the new animal crossing game. I was ecstatic when New Horizons was announced, and bought the game right on release day. The first month or so I was playing the game often, but by the time May had rolled around, I had already lost steam. I have attempted to play the game since occasionally, but it often feels more like a chore than just having fun. I am really shocked on my feelings about the game, I know it is very beloved, and lots of people seem to be thoroughly enjoying it, so why can't I, a huge animal crossing fan, seem to enjoy the game nearly as much? If anyone should be obsessed with that game I would've thought it to be me. I recently picked up New Leaf again a few weeks ago, and find myself playing that game everyday, even though I've had it for years. I thought maybe it was just nostalgia, but I recently bought Animal Crossing for the n64. I can't play it yet, (my Japanese isn't good enough) but I find myself more drawn to that game than the newest title, even though it is so limited in comparison to New Horizons. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar feelings, and if there is anyway I can get back into the game. Maybe I've just hit a roadblock and need to unlock certain items to progress more? I'm not really sure. I just am hoping I can find a way to not have my 60 dollars and all of my anticipation go to waste.
Why can't I like New Horizons?

I bought NH also on release day! Even bought a switch for it. Part of your story I share with you. Then I play NH for one week straight, then 2 months not. Now I’m in a mood where I play it everyday. But I have to say, if you have got good design ideas for your town it’s nice to play it. If you have mood where you can’t decide what to do I don’t even start the game up haha. Maybe your “first experience” will always be the best? My first one was Wild World for the DS, and then played City Folk for the Wii. Last year I bought New Leaf but I couldn’t like it, like Wild World so I sold it. Wild World was very cool at the time and I still think the music in it is better than now! But if I see gameplay from Wild World now I can’t believe why I liked it so much, just because everything in NH is so bright & beautiful!

Different people like different things, even games. NH isn't the same thing as NL, and the same is true for all the games in the series.
I'm sure there's other series of games that you play, and there's probably one game (or more) in that series that you don't like.
I like the Zelda series, but there's a few games that I don't care about. Same thing with Street Fighter, Mega Man (even though my problems are not with the classic series, but with most of the X series and other spin-offs), Metal Gear, Mario... And I'm talking about some of my most beloved franchise's and series.
Not all games are for everyone and that's ok.
