The time of purification is at hand
After acouple of nightswithAnimal Crossing: New Horizons2.0, I’ve figured out my new obsession: Gyroids. My house doesn’t need to look lavish, my island doesn’t need to be a stunner, and I don’t mind that I’m missing a few deep-sea creatures in the log. What I absolutely do need, however, is to collect as many Gyroid varieties as I can manage.
After getting my first Gyroid as part of thequest to recruit Brewster(and subsequently construct The Roost), I was already starting to feel the collection urge coming on. And the more I played, the more that feeling grew. Now that I’ve made the mistake of seeing what other players have been up to with their Gyroids inNew Horizons, I’m smitten.
Of course, Gyroids aren’t brand new as ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons— I’m just feeling their liveliness more than ever. Take this entrancing K.K. Metal Gyroid setup, for starters.

More than just hypnotically dancing to tunes, the Gyroids can seamlessly and pretty creatively blend into their surroundings under the right conditions.
I hung an aluminoid lower on the wall and it looks like I am making a robot 🤖 I think this way to merge gyroids and other items could be an interesting way to design spaces!byu/TopiquesinAnimalCrossing
Some of these funky furniture friendos look strangely familiar.

And saving the best for last, there’s this ingenious scene from ragepowder12 that can only be described as a Gyroid dark ritual using the Magic-Circle Flooring and Candles Wall.

So much of the game is about self-expression. That said, I really want a Gyroid cult, too!
The urge to try andcollect ’em allis one I’ll have to fight, which is honestly business as usual forAnimal Crossing— it’s hard not to want to burn through all of the 2.0 content as quickly as possible. I can’t let that completionist tendency take the fun out of the Gyroids inNew Horizons, though. I won’t do it. I mean,I totally will, but I’ll feel guilty about it!
