Best DLC/Expansion of 2021
2nd Runner-Up: Animal Crossing 2.0 and Happy Home Paradise
Reviews Editor Zhiqing Wan: Animal Crossing: New Horizons truly is the gift that just keeps on giving. While it’s certainly sad that the game won’t be receiving any more updates after this one, ACNH has gone out with a bang.
Update 2.0, which is free to all players, introduces a wealth of quality of life improvements and other additions that fans have been clamoring after for a long time. Brewster’s finally here, you can place ladders anywhere on your island, and there’s a whole new farming and cooking system that gives you even more options and variety in decorating your house.
Then there’s the Happy Home Paradise expansion, which is sure to keep players busy for tens of hours. Players can now fly off to a new archipelago and just design various houses and facilities to their heart’s content, and be rewarded with even more brand new furniture for their efforts.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the quarantine game to play in 2020, and even as travel and lockdown measures have started loosening again, it continues to be the ultimate comfy game that’s always there for you when you need it.
