re: What’s better animal crossing or stardew valley ?

Stardew Valley by leaps and bounds. I've put endless hours into it. The depth of the systems and characters is insane.

Animal Crossing is good. The biggest knock I have on Animal Crossing is the curse that many Nintendo games have-- too much fricking dialogue.

That being said, I might finally get a Switch 2 this fall and if there's a new Animal Crossing I'd probably give it a go.
