Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch

This isn't a game for those looking for an end goal. This is more of a "go at your own pace" kind of game that lets you explore, and eventually build and customize your own little island. Your storage inventory can be a bit cramped without constantly upgrading your house space, so keep that in mind as you have to save up a considerable amount of bells to afford said upgrades. The game gives you lots of opportunities to earn the bells though. Usually through fishing, bug catching, or even turnip trading if you're clever and patient. The game works off of real-time and even has seasons depending on hemisphere (northern or southern). The game could be in winter in the middle of July if you went with southern, but most will go with northern as it better matches North American climates. The animals in the game are quite helpful at times, so be sure to check up on them often, and remember important events such as their birthdays. Just remember to play often. You don't have to play every day, but it is recommended to pop in often to see how the villagers are doing, and to do the daily tasks such as fossil digging, harvesting crafting materials, and checking what the stores have for sale. If you're a fan of any of the previous Animal Crossings, then you'll definitely want this one if you have a Switch!

I’ve never played any of the Animal Crossing games before and a lot of people I knew were getting this game. I decided to get it as well. Best decision I made. (Even got my best friend addicted to it.) It’s a great game to play alone or even with friends. Learning the game was super easy. There is so much to do in the game and you can take your time doing it all. I’ve even heard there will be special events or something similar to that in the future. There’s even specific items that are seasonal items too. I do recommend this game (and I have to several of my friends as well.)

A week after receiving the game upon release I’ve been hooked and haven’t put the game down! It is a breath of fresh air despite what is going on in the world today, a great way to relax and keep calm in a world where you can’t get hurt! (Except by those wasps and bees!) Animal Crossing is a fantastic series of games, and this one hits the mark as the others have before it! If you need a relaxing and fun game to play, pick this one up and I’m sure that you’ll have a fantastic time!

This is one of the most calming games for my anxiety and racing thoughts, I don’t at all regret buying a switch for this.

I’ve played AC on many different devices before but this one is by far the most interesting version of the game I’ve ever played, and it’s sooo adorable!! I can’t help but keep wanting to play because of how good this game is. It’s safe for anyone to play no matter how young and old. It’s fairly easy to play. If your looking to buy somebody this game or buy yourself it, I think it’s a must have for the Nintendo switch. 100% don’t regret my purchase

This is my first time ever playing Animal Crossing and it’s been enjoyable. It’s calming. I can go at my pace and make my island how I want. I haven’t used the multiplayer so I can’t speak on that. However, if you’re looking for a time killer and a game you can basically create to your liking, it’s a good choice.

Everything is at your own pace which is great!!! The game play runs on a 24 hour clock in which the game resets at 5 a.m- which is the start of a new day. You get to live with 10 cute little animals and design your island to how you see fit!!! You can make hybrid flowers, go to mystery islands and have up to 8 friends come over to visit your island at once. You get a museum in which you can put fossils, fish, pieces of art and bugs into it whenever you want.

9.5/10 Nearly Perfect! I have been a fan since the Gamecube version and this one has by far the most quality of life improvements in the entire series. I just wish you could craft multiples of the same item all at once instead of one by one. Also, online play/local multiplayer isn’t the greatest implementation but it’s still a fun addition. I am excited to see the different items, recipes, and events that are coming up throughout the year. Having an absolute blast playing with my wife and kids online.
