Bon DLC pour prolonger son aventure dans New Horizons. Le gameplay d'aménagement de maisons est très sympa peu être un peu répétitif mais très cool. Si vous avez aimez le jeu de base jouez-y !

You take a game as good as ACNH a game that already has tons of replayability, but at a point ends, and add onto that replayability making it even better. This adds so much to the game, and is 100% worth picking up if you enjoy Animal Crossing. I'd say my only criticism is I wish there were a few more buildings on the archipelago, and some requests are so weirdly bizarre that I don't know why you would ever pick them.

Good game but in an overall talking is about a function that is included on the New Leaf which is decorating

DLC to the degree that Happy Home Paradise is, always stumps me in a matter of whether it should be consider a full game or not. While I don't think most people would have bought this game as a standalone, as DLC it absolutely works despite the fact it's also effectively it's own game. And in that sense, it kinda dives into a deeper problem with the way DLC has been opt'd in compared to the far superior "expansion content" that we yearned for in yesteryear. I don't want to go into a big debate about it, but download content like Happy Home Paradise works far more as an expansion of Animal Crossing: New Horizions and succeeds as it's own story and narrative to **** much of Happy Home Paradise works because the way it expanses both New Horizons gameplay, and the previous game spin off, Happy Home Designer. Happy Home Academy was an interesting spin off that focused on home decor, but it honestly just didn't encourage the player to stay too much in the lines of what the client wanted, and due to having a lower amount to customize both inside and out, became repetitive around the half way point. While HHP still has the problem of repetitive design making, the pacing itself is spread just enough to keep you interested till the campaign itself is actually done. From simply withholding certain abilities, to gaining access to certain villagers, and mostly just expanding the catalogue that you have to fill each villagers vacation **** the time that you feel like you know everything there is to know about designing, the game basically opens up to the point where you can simply choose villagers that you like, and make their home for them. While I can't say Happy Home Designer didn't try to make the novelties from Paradise work, as the game is mostly a blur to me, the bigger part to why Paradise works so well is how it expands the list of things you can do in New Horizons itself. By the simple part that HHP is meant to be more of a expansion of New Horizons, so to would it give you more things to do in your New Horizons island. From simply making vacation homes for your villagers, buying new furniture, and of course, designing their homes on your island. On top of all this, Paradise even makes use of the facilities that you make on the island by giving you various rewards for checking in daily or simply just new places to hang out. In a lot of ways, Paradise is a much better sequel to Designer on the simple fact it actually feels rewarding to do your job and earn new stuff for your island compared to just making something pretty.I think Happy Home Paradise could only simply be a expansion on New Horizons, and never a standalone game for the simple reason that you want to feel like the game is rewarding. While I understand a lot of people will simply love the amount of customization you can do in this content, the major selling point for most will be all the added features that help New Horizon islands. In that way, Paradise easily surpasses Designer's legacy by giving me more to care about aside from a small narrative story. While Paradise does have a nice little narrative story on it's own, the simply truth is that it never really gets to an interesting point that would really make you yearn for more. Happy Home Paradise is completely something that only fans of New Horizons would want, and in that respect, it absolutely delivers.

Un buen DLC que añade la posibilidad de viajar a una isla a trabajar diseñando casas para los animales. Aunque la jugabilidad quizá no es para todo el mundo, yo me lo he pasado sorprendentemente bien diseñando tanto los hogares como las instalaciones que poco a poco van enriqueciendo nuestra isla. Con unos personajes bastante memorables, un argumento divertido y una gran cantidad de posibilidades a la hora de decorar las casas, creo que este DLC es bastante completo y está muy bien integrado con el juego base; y lo recomiendo a todos los que se hayan quedado con ganas de más Animal Crossing. Aun así creo que es un poco caro (25€) para el contenido que ofrece. 8/10 (05/2023)

This game was exactly what I was looking for compared to the base game, the interface is easy to understand and the choices for decorating never felt overbearing so overall I really enjoyed my time.

This is just... Great. It is amazing. I, like many other people, hadn't picked up animal crossing for a while, and then the 2.0 update came out, which by itself is...good I guess? But.. Happy Home Paradise is just a beautiful, perfectly balanced DLC, from the quiet Wardell, to the adorable Niko, and then to the overworked Lottie, the characters are all just amazing. Look.. The price is quite steep, 25 dollars for DLC. But the DLC is a game in itself, and when you consider that, it's relatively reasonable. And while what tour paying for IS a game in itself, there still are many features that can hook into your main island, like the ability to invite your villagers to the archipelago, the ability to use your skills on your island, and even a Poki ABD to convert your Poki to Bells. There is so much here, and so much progression, which is something the base game lacks. Overall, there is so much to love about this DLC, so if your on the edge about it, I'd recommend just going and buying it. 10 out of 10, I love it!

Excellent DLC qui ajoute des dizaines d'heures de jeu au titre. Le concept n'est pas nouveau mais terriblement efficace grâce aux nombreux villageois et thème de maison qu'ils demandent. Le fait d'avoir un grand nombre d'objets permet une vrai créativité et de personnalisation, que ce soit intérieur comme extérieur. Et le fait de débloqué les fonctionnalités progressivement est cool pour par surchargé le joueurs dès le début. Le fait de récupéré ces techniques et objets sur son île est aussi une excellente idée pour donner plus de personnalisation et de différenciation entre les îles des joueurs. Un excellent DLC qui ajoute un jeu dans le jeu pour un prix raisonnable que ce soit seul ou avec le Switch Online.

Everything in this is a well thought out and fun addition to the game that encourages daily, slow play instead of grind. Overall an excellent addition to the game that makes it feel far more like a finished game than it did at launch. My problem with Happy Home Designer on the 3DS wasn't that it wasn't fun, but that designing homes felt too much like a chore to be done all on its own. It needed to be tied to a normal animal crossing game so you could do some designing then go back and chill, and that's exactly what we got here, with some very significant rewards for doing it. My only problems preventing me from giving it a 10 are the fact that you cannot use the room size options in your town, neither on your or your villagers' houses, you can't add second floors to your villagers' houses in your town, and the end reward for Happy Home (not spoiling) is not a weekly repeatable thing, because it was awesome and it's a shame we only get to see it once. The content is really excellent, however it's just such a huge bummer that you can't use it to it's fullest in your own town.

Both the 2.0 update and DLC added tons of new content to get players playing again. Happy Home Paradise is pretty much just an enhanced version of Happy Home Designer on the 3DS, which was already a pretty fun game. If you've played that you get the basic idea of the game. There's been a lot of improvements to the formula this time around. Firstly, building houses is quicker and more satisfying, which makes unlocking new stuff faster. You can invite villagers from your island, and there are a lot more customization options for houses that you can even take with you to your island. The gameplay is generally better overall, and I'd say it's worth the $25 price tag. One thing Happy Home Designer does better is the facilities. In that game you could do them whenever you wanted and they were huge, leaving tons of room for creativity. In this game, you are forced to complete them at certain points, and you can't leave until you finish. That would be okay if it gave you the option instead of just throwing you into it without warning. Also they are way smaller this time. I only did the first two facilities, so maybe it allows more freedom later on, but those first two facilities felt very restrictive. They were still fun overall, and I'm really enjoying the DLC so far. Probably the best part is that it technically allows you to have all 400+ villagers in the game. I wish the update allowed more villagers on the island, but this DLC fixes it in a way. The 2.0 update has fixed nearly every problem with the game, and now I am addicted to New Horizons once again. Please send help. Actually don't, this is the best addiction I could ask for.
