Animal Crossing: New Leaf
10 Summer Games for When It’s Too Hot to Actually Go Outside
It could be argued that the Animal Crossing series aren’t really summer games, because they feature every season depending on when you play, but summer is easily the time you’ll be able to play the most. On top of that, this series just oozes good vibes, making it the perfect compliment to the happiness of summertime. Animal Crossing is a series beloved to many a gamer, purely because of its relaxed nature. Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the latest entry in the series, contains a returning feature from the older games – Animal Island. On the island, summer is found year-round, and you can collect loads of unique items from this small resort. The game itself already gives off a summery vibe, but Animal Island really gives you that vacation feeling.
Expect to play this one all through the summer, and maybe even through to next year, too. Recently, the game got a massive update that incorporates amiibo and loads of other new features, so now is the perfect time to play.
