   Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been out for just over a week now and the game has just started its holiday event. I just hit level 16 andAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been out for just over a week now and the game has just started its holiday event. I just hit level 16 and pretty much know what this game's about, and I completely love it.
   
   While it's a very watered down version of the game, it's been incredibly fun so far. The game's a little grindy and repetitive, but what AC game isn't? In this rendition, you're in charge of a campsite and it's your job to furnish it. You craft your furniture with crafting materials, which you get from the animals around the campsite in exchange for fruits, bugs, and fish. This is their only purpose as you can't sell them for bells. The more you level up, the more animals and furniture become available for your campsite. Your house in this game is a camper, which you can upgrade to make it bigger or have a second floor.
   
   The game's premium currency is abundant at the beginning, but if you're impatient you'll burn through it. That being said, if you're a fan of the series, you won't mind waiting a day or two for certain items to be completed - it's a lost less annoying then Nook's closing down for a day.
   
   The animals definitely have less personality than a full game, I'm noticing phrases get repeated quite often. It's a mobile game and I'm not surprised. What was a pleasant surprise was the little cut-scenes that happen sometimes after you fulfill an animals request. I won't spoil anything, but these are downright adorable and fun when they pop up.
   
   The game may not be for everyone, but it's a great placeholder until we get a full game for the Switch whenever that may be.… Expand

   I got my hopes up way too much I guess because I was the most hyped up person for this game, at least in my family. I was talking about howI got my hopes up way too much I guess because I was the most hyped up person for this game, at least in my family. I was talking about how this game would be the next animal crossing and that it was the game we had been waiting so long for. It finally released and man I was so disappointed with literally everything, this game is mediocre that it hurts. It's just so bland. Compare this to any other app and it is a pretty good app, put it next to animal crossing games and it's weak as hell. This game felt like more of a fan game than something a group of professionals worked on. It's fun but simply not what I wanted because I wanted a new animal crossing and that's what I will always be waiting for.… Expand

If you're a super-fan of Animal Crossing like me, I'd say check it out for a day but just go back to New Leaf or Gamecube.… Expand

   The differences are subtle and sinister in nature, but this isn't the Animal Crossing you know and love -- it's FarmVille wearing a cuddlyThe differences are subtle and sinister in nature, but this isn't the Animal Crossing you know and love -- it's FarmVille wearing a cuddly animal friend skin to mask its avaricious intents. There's no world generation, no actual player interaction, no unique animal populations, no creative outlets for town tunes or clothing; instead there are a series of resource harvesting zones with regenerative timers to deliver things to animals (for which you have limited storage space; expandable with premium currency) to earn materials to craft furniture (and wait for that to be built, or remove the wait with premium currency) to impress other animals and get them to move in. Your one and only creative outlet is furniture arrangement. You can trade resources with friends, but only by offloading things you don't want into market stalls; you can't post or field specific resource requests. K.K. Slider makes his appearance as a limited-availability talking prop obtained for $12.50 of premium currency, with all of 3 lines of dialogue and no music to play for you. There's even the classic "pester 5 friends to access the premium zone" system (or just pay premium currency for every visit).
   
   Animal Crossing was never about powergaming so it's hard to look at all the wait timers and say they ruin everything on their own, but once you strip out the random generation, exploration, and creativity aspects and constantly needle players about how their lives can be improved by just paying more money (even in the incidental dialogue of the animal characters), you've corrupted what was once an enjoyable unwinding activity into something far more hypocritical and transparently capitalistic in nature.
   
   TL;DR: It's literally FarmVille with an Animal Crossing skin. AND NOW LOOTBOXES!… Expand
