Hokko Life will be fully released next month on all major consoles as well as Steam. It's a great opportunity for gamers who don't own a Nintendo Switch to experience the soothing and low-intensity gameplay that defines the life simulation genre.
The life sim genre has seen a rise in popularity over the last few years, partly due to the success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which captivated millions of weary gamers during the COVID-19 epidemic's initial shutdown. Game modes such as Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and the upcoming Hokko Life have all appealed to gamers looking for a simple existence.
Hokko Life was initially released by indie label Team17 in a rather bare boness state, with early reviewers concerned about the lack of content. Over time, the game has received many significant improvements that have elevated it to a viable competitor to genre classics like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
Hokko Life is packed with life sim features for enthusiasts of the genre. A 3D design tool allows players to create entirely custom furniture that may be shared with other players. The village is populated by a cast of anthropomorphic animals that are similar to Animal Crossing's villagers.
Hokko Life will be available for a modest $19.99 or half the price of New Horizons on Nintendo Switch on September 27th.
Hokko Life is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
