hello kitty island adventure is the ultimate cozy game

i’ve only got my hands on hkia (switch) for 4 days and i am already 35+ hours in!!! the world is absolutely gorgeous, the characters are everything (i wasn’t really a sanrio fan but you bet your sweet cookies i now am!!) and the graphics are top tier. the quests are super fun and they are an amazing way to bond with characters, get introduced to their personalities and overall get familiar and immersed with the island lore. there are some people comparing it to acnh but as someone who played both, i personally think they are totally different and have completely different vibes. there are similarities of course with island vibes, cute animal companions, and character design but i think thats about it. hkia definitely has more of a plot/ story and again the world is huge (discovering the different areas on it own is extremely fun) and the characters def have more depth to them. of course you can garden (when you achieve a certain level) and decorate the cabins but i wouldn’t say it’s the main point of the game. you can also have visitors which you can get as residents later on if you fulfill a specific number of requests. all in all it’s such a wholesome game and is definitely the coziest one i’ve ever played!
