Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can't believe the amount of content and customization there is in this game! This is my first animal crossing game and I am so happy and grateful I was able to pick this up at my local Best Buy. Great purchase and tons of hours of content in collecting, customizing and exploring other islands! A must buy for any switch owner.

Very top tier game. Easy to play and very simple instructions

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a major throwback for me, as I played Animal Crossing: New Leaf on GameCube as a kid. I recommend this game to anyone that is looking for a relaxing game with a small story and many customizations. This game is the only reason I successfully did not lose my mind during the COVID-19 quarantine.

I've been playing since the release date and I'm still playing everyday. This game has brought me so much joy and happiness in these trying times. I love the game mechanics and how cute everything looks. I've been an animal crossing fan since 2015 and it makes me so happy that this game has exceeded my expectations. I love it!

Was very excited to play this game and when I finally got it, it was was more than I expected. I'm very addicted to this game now. I literally play everyday. I also love the graphics, and how the villagers react way more differently than they did in New leaf. This is just an outstanding game, Nintendo did great with this! A+++++

Quality time we’ll spend and a fun animal crossing game. Loads of content and a real treasure for fans. Super easy to get into as well if it’s your first time. And Switch install base is high so plenty of people to visit or hang with online

Want to keep yourself busy during these times of quarantine? This game will immerse you in a world that can’t harm you while you stay safe at home. If you have Nintendo Online stay in touch with friends while working toward customizing your own world. If you’re a fan of Harvest Moon then you’ll definitely be a fan of this game!

As an avid gamer for over 30 years and collector I was aware of the upcoming release of Animal Crossing New Horizons but it wasn't on my list to get on release day. Though, after the recommendation from my son, reviews and the Animal Crossing community, I went ahead and picked it up. That choice was well worth it. During the current world issues and our struggling times where many people are stuck at home this game has been a savior and it can even help relieve some stress and anxiety, if that's something you struggle with, I do. It's very addictive and It has become a game that I don't want to put it down, but since it's based on real time clock it makes it okay to do so, so you can wait for buildings to be built and materials and items to be replenished. It's also an awesome feature that you can visit friends islands, or even have other family members/users of your household all work together on improving your island. Only one island per switch, so I can see why Nintendo Switch Consoles are difficult to obtain at the moment. It's an excellent and well planned out game and it has become a top Nintendo Switch game hands down.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has great graphics, a very peaceful and pleasant soundtrack, and a happy storyline/gameplay that all combine to create an extremely relaxing game overall. AC:NH is the perfect game to play while in quarantine, as the life simulator provides a beautifully relaxing distraction to the real world.

Fun animal Crossing with more customization options than previous game's

It's a good game if you are fine with creating your own in game goals and expressing your creativity. The game basically tells you what to expect and leave it to you, what you want to do. Be it farming, befriending villagers, decorating home and village. I'm still 9 days in, so far I'm still at it!

This game was my first introduction to Animal Crossing, and I went in knowing almost nothing about the game. It is surprisingly delightful. The graphics are simple but high quality, and the characters have so much personality. It feels immersive and very relaxing. This is especially because the time in-game matches the current time, which removes any element of rushing that comes with times games. The game is suitable for playing in small bits everyday, which is perfect for busy people who want a bite-sized amount of game time. It also is dynamic in how things like the creatures you can catch change with the time of day or time of year (again aligned with real time), and it has event items like decorations and clothing items as well. Overall, I went in unsure what to expect but am enjoying it more than I had hoped to.

I have never played any of the previous Animal Crossing games so I was unfamiliar with the point of the game. After this game was released I watched and read a lot of reviews. I was surprised by the one common common point most people brought up and that was just how relaxing this game is. I spoke to some friends who confirmed this point so I purchased on a whim. It is exactly what I was looking for while being stuck at home during this pandemic business. I can move at my own pace and do not feel the anxiety of other games to accomplish a feat or a goal. You just simply set up your island and move a your own pace. Sometimes I play for hours and other times I play for a few minutes at a time in between doing things around the house or playing with my son. I leave the game running on my Switch so when I wake it up I jump right back in to play for however long. Definitely glad I picked this one up to help pass the time at home. I have a huge backlog of games but this is just one that can be played at your leisure and it feels rewarding and makes you want to do more. Best of all it is stress free!

I love this game. It is a lot like the original from GameCube. My daughter and I are fighting over who gets the switch first. My only complaint is that you can’t have an island for each player. You need to share the same island and the first person that sets up the island is the one that gets to complete the most tasks.

ACNH is my first Animal Crossing game, and so far I am enjoying it. The graphics are adorable and I enjoy the details put into this game. Great for those who enjoy relaxing games that advance at your own pace. The game also receives free updates from Nintendo that keeps things fresh and adds more gameplay.

This is my first Animal Crossing game, and it's pretty fun! I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of overwhelming at first, but I do enjoy it now. It is kind of hard to keep up with everything though, considering how beautiful some people's islands are haha. Its a great game if you love to express your imagination!

Just buy it. Endless relaxing fun, especially during a time like now. I've played all of the Animal Crossing games and the graphics on this and the new features are impressive. I love it. Nintendo has done a beautiful job at modernizing a game to keep up with the times, but still holding the classic values and feel.

It's practically the same Animal Crossing formula you've come to expect but with your entire town/island being customizeable and the most content yet! Be advised though, the game is very slow when it comes to progressing and and unlocking certain features, luckily there is no penalty for time-traveling.

i love this game sooooo much. i play it with my friends and we have a great time even when our villagers are being rude smh. would definitely recommend for anybody of any age who wants a nice relaxing game to play that allows u to be creative in whatever way u want. also agnes is the best villager

I have loved Animal Crossing since it came out on the Game Cube! This is a fun twist on the original... You have your own island to make like you want it! I won't do a big review here.. I'm sure there are plenty! Animal Crossing New Horizons is great fun for people who like to collect and customize everything!
