Animal Crossing has become one of the biggest gaming sensations, drawing in players of all ages. It's even spawned an in-universe chat show hosted by Book Of Eli writer Gary Whitta.
A social stimulation series, the game has the player controlling a human character who moves into a rural village populated with anthropomorphic animals and lives there indefinitely. There are no defined objectives, but players are instead encouraged to spend their time in the village performing any number of activities, which include collecting items, planting plants or other items, and socializing with the village's residents. You'll make friends, both virtual and in real-life, and games like this have been a huge help for everyone in a pandemic lockdown situation.
Since its origins way back in 2001, Animal Crossing has become so huge that it has spawned any number of tie-in products. So if you're after something fun to give to the AC fan in your life, we have some suggestions for the good stuff...
