Aka is a red panda/retired soldier who’s left the battlefield (which is literally the first scene in the game, in fact) in search of a quiet life, so the whole focus here is wandering around the small archipelago that’s your new home, tending to crops, cleaning up debris, and doing tasks for your neighbours.Īnd there’s no reward or point to any of it. After all, the whole point of the game is slowing down and just being. I kept picking it up, playing for a little bit, and then finding my mind wander off to think about all the other things I could’ve been doing instead.Īdmittedly, this is probably more my problem than Aka’s. You can imagine, then, how I reacted to Aka, which is basically a version of Animal Crossing (or any other farming/life sim) with even less focus and even more wide-open gameplay.
There’s just something about wide-open gameplay and focusing on day-to-day tasks that I’ve always had a hard time getting into. I know I’m in a tiny minority when I say this – and probably making my opinion suspect in the eyes of many – but I’ve never been able to get into Animal Crossing.
