But with voxel-based visuals. Given the sheer magnitude of Animal Crossing‘s popularity (New Horizons is currently sitting pretty at 46.45 million units sold on Switch), it’s no surprise that other companies will want to take a peek at Nintendo’s homework and conjure up something similar.

You know what’s relevant and exciting in the year of our lord 2024? The third Ultima game from 1983. OK, not really, and I leave drawing a line from Ultima 3: Exodus to the CRPGs of today as an exercise for the reader, but it really is fascinating to look back at nonetheless. This is…
