I agree the genre isn't exactly for me, but I don't think that's really relevant. Stardew Valley and Sims more or less fall in the same genre and I loved Stardew Valley and could see the appeal of Sims. I don't have an issue with those games being on the list but New Horizons just felt shallow. Outside of collecting things for the Museum there really wasn't anything that engaging. I remember also checking if I'm just playing it wrong and the sentiment from the AC vets was that the gameplay of New Leaf is better.
I did a quick check to see New Horizon is still in the same state as I remember and some people are claiming the 2.0 update made the game better so I guess I'll give it another shot one day. Maybe my opinion is dated because I haven't really played since 1.3 update.
