The greatest game ever!! It’s so easy to play and there’s plenty of possibilities! The game takes a while to play because it goes by actual time but it’s really fun and honestly addicting!

My kids have been begging me to purchase this game for months. I finally gave in and am so glad I did. This game is hours of fun for the entire family. We visit each other's islamd amd share resources. The graphics are great and the characters are adorable. Great game!

In Animal crossing you get a wide variety of daily tasks and improving your island! I really enjoyed all the features the game had to offer, whether it came from crafting tools, customizing your character's avatar, able to netplay with friends ect. The overall experience and the immersiveness in creating your own community is great! Highly recommend it

Love everything about this game. It's an awesome family friendly game and a great way to connect with others. Playing together from 3 different states so far. Will always be suckered into owning this brand of game system because of amazing family friendly games like these. Just wished the systems themself didn't break down so tragically and quickly.

Very Popular kids game, just like Minecraft. These games are meant for kids to 'create' their own imaginary world. At a young age, they can use their imagination and have their very own Nirvana and they have control over everything. These games are shaping the creativity of kids. So far, my 10 yr old loves it. Keeps her busy and she is happy.

Disclaimer: at the time of purchase, Best Buy included extra incentives for purchasing the game through them. Game itself is in my top two most-played titles on my Switch, but it's even better if you have someone to play with, since only a certain selection/varieties of items will be available to you whether as your native fruit or the stock you can find in your island shops. Has its pros and cons compared to the previous Animal Crossing title, New Leaf, with New Horizons having greater customization on your island map and not having your villagers move out on you if you ever take more than a few days' break from the game, but New Leaf having various gameplay elements still lacking in New Horizons such as co-op minigames on Tortimer island, Brewster, or more varieties of fruits. Having multiple people visit can be clunky since the game has you sit through loading screens with each person who leaves or visits, and you can't progress or get much done on the island while there are visitors in the way of decoration, construction, or donating things to the museum.

New Horizons stands above the rest of the games in the Animal Crossing series with tons of new items, and tons of new customization options, including item crafting and outdoor decorating. This is a game that can easily eat up hundreds of hours of your life while still being fun. Patches for this game that add content and fix errors are frequent, though there are still quality of life changes that would make the overall experience more seamless and less tedious. Highly recommended for anybody who likes decorating and feeling a sense of accomplishment from your unique aesthetic and progress playing the game. It’s a game with no specific demographic and I feel can truly be enjoyed by everyone.

This game lives up to all of it's expectations! The graphics are beautiful. The music is peaceful. The characters are lovely and interactive in the best way possible!! The multiplayer is my favorite aspect, being able to find an online community of people to play such an amazing game with people all over the world~~ its amazing. 100/10 recommend!

At first, I thought this game was pretty lame as I attempted to play it with my 8 and 6 year old daughters. And then, after shelving it for a few months, I saw a YouTube video on how to advance the game which included converting your tent to a house and expanding it further, building tools, recruiting animals to the island, placing and planting cool stuff, which lead to many new visitors and tasks. So we pulled the game back out and now we love it so much I bought this second copy so the kids can visit each other on their own two unique islands. I have an island resident on both islands and love to spend some relaxing time hanging out and doing lots of fishing for the museum (yep there is a museum that you can donate fossils, fish, bugs, sea creatures and paintings too…and that’s just what I’ve seen so far). Also, time impacts many events and island dwellers so it’s fun to log on often and see what’s available to have fun with. Can’t go wrong with this game if you spend a little time understanding how the progression works.

So addicting! First AC game I have played and already put in 60+ hours into the game in the first week! If you like real-life simulator games, building things, or just want something relaxing to do, this is the game for you! This game has it all! Would definitely recommend to anyone....and the graphics and details in this game are amazing!!!

New Horizons is an excellent game for those new to the Animal Crossing series, and for those more experienced with playing Animal Crossing. The graphics are pretty, and the gameplay is fun and relaxing. Updates are frequent enough that there is usually something new to do every month on the game, and the game runs well on my Switch.

I love this game. It's quite entertaining. I'm not much of a gamer so I didn't play this growing up but I find it to be such a good time. I like the customization options and the constant desire to discover new fish or bugs and fossils. There's always something to do and for someone who get overwhelmed this is such a peaceful game to play.

Love crossing animals having my own farm makes me feel like a true farmer unlocking the animals takes some work but it’s all worth it in the end

This is the best Nintendo Switch Game. I bought for daughter but the whole family ended loving this game. There is so much you can do in the island. You can do whatever you feel like. There is some objectives that you need to accomplished if you want to expand the island but you can take your time to finished them. There is a lot of daily life lesson you can teach your kids with this game likw managing their money, learning about different kinds of bugs, fish, plants, dinosaurs, art, fashion, etc. I would definitely recommend this game for families with kids or without kids. My only complaint is that you can only have one island per console and one person is in charge of the island (the first player that set up the game will be able to choose the island and will be in charge of the island) The other users can join the the game in the same island and play in their own account but they cannot choose a new island. Also some of the shops in the island is not available night past 10pm. Kind of a bummer specially if you want to play after your kids go to bed.

It’s awesome. Best part is being able to connect with lots of players. Buy their designs. Some of the designs are so unique they really make the game more fun. Finding things to DIY that are unexpected, like Goth items and tomb stones. We were able to make a spooky graveyard. No end. I made an “ amusement park” So much fun.

This is definitely the best Animal Crossing game yet, and a great, relaxing, heartwarming escape. The social/online component adds a much needed element to the game, and the potential to customize your town in practically endless ways lets you build your town in your own vision in a way that wasn't previously possible. Fun all around.

We loved this game! It's great for some relaxing foraging and exploration, and decorating your space is a lot of fun. Only downside was not getting to have a new island for each player.

Like the adventures in the game. Visiting other islands. You can change the clothes on the characters and decorate your house.

Surprisingly a lot of fun!! So much to do. Might seem a little slow 1st day.. but picks up when you start upgrading your house, visiting others online, designing your own clothes.. lots of stuff!! Definitely takes your mind away for a bit with an easy distraction like picking weeds or selling fruit. Lots of fun!!

We bought this as a gift for our daughter during this pandemic, she really was looking forward to having this and it did not disappoint! She now spends most of her screen time playing this and is able to play online with her school friends she has not seen in a while. Pretty neat game and the game play and graphics are awesome.
