Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp delivers the cozy charm of the franchise in a format that fits between bus stops and lunch breaks. The decoration system is remarkably deep, offering over 10,000 items to arrange across your campsite, cabin, and camper. Villager interactions provide the familiar warmth that makes Animal Crossing special, and the removal of microtransactions in the Complete edition lets you enjoy everything at your own pace. The gameplay loop is repetitive by nature, new content has ended, and the experience feels smaller than mainline entries in ways that occasionally sting. But as a self-contained pocket of Animal Crossing comfort, it delivers exactly the cozy escape its audience wants.
