Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been playing Animal Crossing since the Nintendo GameCube. This game is amazing and full of fun. The new individual island and its customizations adds to hours of game time. Some things to note. You can only have ONE island per Nintendo Switch. If you have siblings and they are sharing the console they all will have their own character but only ONE island. Other than that all I can say if you feel like adventuring around whether in your own island or visiting other people's island this game is a must own for any Nintendo Switch user.

Animal Crossing games have had a split history for me. The original was a game type I had never played before. I nice relaxing game with no real end goal; just decorate my house, catch some fish and chat with my lovely animal neighbors. But, since it was on my TV I would tend to play for hours. The handheld games I took the opposite approach, making it a daily routine to play for up to an hour but being just as fun in smaller quantities. This game is both wrapped up in a beautiful bow that is a next generation title. The biggest addition are the many lairs of customization the game offers.

Love love love this game, even without using any of the internet features to visit other islands. For those worried about their kids on the internet and strangers its still a fun game of being played solo

I am playing this game during quarantine and it’s been pretty fun and peaceful. It starts off a little slow, but once you get everything rolling there’s lots of things you can try to accomplish. On some tasks it requires you to wait till the next day, real time, in order for buildings or vice versa to be completed. Some people change the time on their Switch in order to skip the waiting time. I try to play in moderation so it’s a perfect game for me to stop and wait for everything to finish the next day. If you need a game where you can play at your own pace and relax, this is it!

I've played AC titles since the first North American release on the Gamecube. This game really blows the others out of the water in a lot of ways, and it's also incredibly relaxing and calming to play. At the beginning you'll have a lot to do and a lot of little milestones that will get you feeling connected to your islanders and your island; once you get deep into the game, it becomes more about making your own fun and getting creative with designing and decorating your house and island. I put over 600 hours into the game before I decided I needed a break

WOW there’s SOOO much of a difference between NH and New Leaf, especially compared to the jump from Wild World to NL. This game is gorgeous (look at the water!!), there’s so much to do and I’m excited to play every day. Granted I’m only a few days into the game and there’s a lot to unlock, but a lot of time can be spent peacefully doing daily tasks. There are a lot of features that have been added and improved since New Leaf, and the game doesn’t suffer from the lack of a second screen. It also plays very well on the Switch Lite. Get this to help you survive your isolation :’)

Basic similarities, but not much else like the oldie platform editions. Very addictive, yet extremely relaxed gameplay. Very impressive graphics, and everything wonderfully detailed. So much to do, and as much time as you'd like to do it. Greatest addition is terraforming abil. This allows you to reshape the landscape around you. Changing the course of rivers, and cliffs, and a whole lot more. Immersive interaction, and you can craft items,furniture, in incalculable ways. Hard to put it down. In the evening. Did I mention the breathtaking museum, that seems to have no end?

This game is really relaxing. I am a guy who loves FPS, RPG, and sports game. I never really play these casual games. The concept is simple build your own island, but their is so many ways you can do that and plenty to do to achieve your dream. Some task are repetitive, but I enjoy it and find this game to be relaxing and not drilling me to finish a mission or kill a boss. The graphics are great and you can really make your character your own. Their is lots to learn and do and I am a fan of this series now. Have to head back now my island is waiting. Stop by any time!

Having played Animal Crossing since the Gamecube days, I love how the game has evolved. The game is essentially a life simulator with cute characters. The game has charming characters, and the colors and environments are fun to look at. You create your own character and you're tasked with helping the island grow. You can get your own house and make it grow. It's a fun and relaxing game where you can fish, catch bugs, and enjoy the outdoors. The game has been fun since the gamecube days, all of the way to the most recent iteration.

If you want to forget about covid and how lame things are right now, this game is perfect. Stress, anxiety, even crippling depression fall away when you hop into the cute, friendly world of animal crossing. The game is easy to understand and thanks to its sandbox nature, you won’t get frustrated by it. You’re free to create your own island however you see fit. You can play online with friends or do your own thing. It’s relaxing designing your house, catching bugs, fishing and interacting with your island critters. Well worth the $60, and then some.

Whether you're new to Animal crossing or a long-time fan of the series, this game has a lot to offer. People may ask what do you do in this game? There's lots to do! Improve your island, build your house, customize your character, play with friends and the local residents, go fishing and so much more. Do what you want for as long as you want. Although the first few days playing the game can feel slow and limited, this is done so you can slowly learn how to play the game and not be overwhelmed. Overall, it's a great game and would definitely recommend it.

This was the first Animal Crossing game I have ever experienced and I am glad that I bought it. This is the type of game to just sit back with and relax and allow your troubles to melt away. There are a lot of fun things to do as far as building your village, home, and collecting bugs, fossils, and fish in order to expand your museum. I have put over 150 hours into this game and I always come back to it from time to time.

This is yet another offering from the Animal Crossing set of games. I bought it as a gift for someone who enjoys Animal Crossing on other platforms. Players like spending time on their islands as well as visiting the islands of others. I think many players enjoy this form of social interaction and find it relaxing (especially during the pandemic). The game allows one to create one's ideal house, furnish it with things he/she likes, wear unique clothes, and visit with villagers and others.

I have over 1000 hours in this game. It got me through the worst time of my life after losing both my best friend and a close family member. There are endless opportunities to customize and decorate, fish and bugs to collect, fun holidays/events, and the villagers almost start to feel like actual friends after a while with all their unique personalities. Nothing but good vibes in this game.

Fun game with plenty of things to do and discover. The details and graphics are stunning; the characters cute and amusing. This game brings out one's creative side in developing an island community. Give and receive little gifts, design and furnish your own home/landscaping as well as those of the other inhabitants, collect resources needed for crafting tools, furnishings and fashion accessories, achieve goals. Well worth the money. If you are looking for a relaxing game to escape into, this is one of the best.

This game is everything I hoped it would be. It's got fun/cute characters, calming music, wonderful atmosphere, and a whole lotta charm. If you're a fan of previous Animal Crossing games, or just looking for a good stress reliever, this game is 100% for you. Obviously this game looks so much better than any previous game in the series, and there is just so much to keep you busy. I can see myself playing this yet in a couple years. By far one of the best releases for Switch to date. I wholly recommend this game to anyone interested.

This game has all the classic features of animal crossing with new mechanics like crafting and terraforming. The customization of your island paradise is limitless. The game plays in real time, which can be frustrating to those not used to it. Some bugs/fish only become available during certain times and completion of buildings will make you wait until the following day irl. Despite these things, Animal Crossing: New Horizon is a wholesome and fulfilling game. Very down to Earth and casual, and now you can play with friends too!

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

She has played this game more than I have ever seen her play anything else. Everything about this game is charming, and relaxing food for the soul. Its basically a giant bowl of chicken soup on a frosty cold day. Its extremely easy to get into and start managing your little island, and you can climb out of extreme debt and poverty by catching butterflies and fish. And in a year like 2020 has been, maybe catching bugs and planting flowers with a raccoon and rhino is just what we need.

One of the best feel good games, I have spent hundreds of hours playing that game getting my island to a five star and cannot wait for the update that is coming out this year.
