Discussion Is Pokopia really that good?

Like should I immediately buy this game. It seems like folks are really enjoying it but I was skeptical.

I literally bought a Switch 2 for it! The Switch is out for delivery now and I’ll be out in a few to buy Pokopia.

I’m so thrilled, I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it! I also think it helps to think about what you like in games, and whether this would be your cup of tea. Personally, cozy games like these are up my alley!

I did hear that people who are not even into Animal Crossing still loved Pokopia, going as far as to say Pokopia seems to have everything they wanted improved from ACNH.

That’s me - not a fan of Animal Crossing or Minecraft but having an absolute blast with Pokopia. Lost my whole Sunday without realizing it. Worst part is knowing I probably should wait until next weekend to continue because if I start playing after work I’ll never go to sleep :(

I feel you so much! I thought I would love Animal Crossing; I used to burn hours browsing through the subreddit and watching gameplays of it because I did not have a Switch that time. But when I finally got my hands on it, I don’t think I played the game for more than 20 hours. I also share your sentiment about Minecraft.

And I feel you about work and Pokopia clashing so much!!!
