The Real Review

People are having a blast with this Switch remake of the quirky life sim, with its core Mii creation and social sandbox gameplay landing exceptionally well. The new customization options are a huge hit, and seeing your Miis develop personalities and relationships on the island is as charming and surprising as ever. The main complaints center on performance, which some found lacking on Switch, and a sense that the asking price might be a bit steep for what's essentially a polished version of a classic. Overall, it's a warm, funny return to form for fans.
