Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are no bad words to say about Animal Crossing. This is a great game for kids and adults. Young kids may need a little help at first but once they get the basics I think the little ones will be good to go. Fans or not of previous Animal Crossing games will love this new version.

Super nice and enjoyable game, if you want to get away playing stressful games, just enjoy create, discover, run around, exercise, do some swimming, customized your area and also get some bees stings when you're trying to have a nice day.

Animal crossing is such a fun game. There is so much to do in this game, and you can spend hours just doing what you want to do to make your island yours. Highly recommend. Just know that you can only create one island per switch console, so all users on that switch will be living on the same island.

Charming and pleasant game, perfect for this pandemic year. This is a game for those who want to relax and slowly take in all the content (of which Nintendo has been steadily providing more of, as they make seasonal updates to the game). You acquire recipes, craft items, rearrange your items, interact with your animal neighbors, catch bugs, catch fish, dive for deep sea critters, shake tress, and pay off your mortgage. You can fully flex your creative muscles in this game too - you can create your own clothes patterns and designs that you can show off in game. You can share these patterns with others as well! It's also fun to visit friends' islands as well (requires Nintendo Switch Online membership, though). However, this game can be chatty at times. Interacting with everything involves multiple lines of dialogue you need to go through (even the in-game ATM!). It takes a while to do anything. There aren't great tools for mass-terraforming your island.

Most games get you stressed out with missions and time trials, but you call the shots in Animal Crossing. Design your house, collect bugs, go fishing, meet your neighbors! What seems like a simple game starts to show how deep and gratifying it is the more you delve into everything that you can do!

Animal Crossing is a unique game which leaves many newcomers wondering what exactly you do in it or what the appeal is, so to explain that, in Animal Crossing you live in a village of animals where time flows with real-life time. There are a number of things you can do: talk to your neighbors, garden, catch fish, catch bugs, dig fossils.... How you spend your time is up to you, though at the start, the game will have you do specific things so you can learn how things work. You can earn money for literally anything you collect, and with that money you can buy clothes, furniture, or pay off your interest-free home loan to get a bigger house (you can also ignore the loan if you want). There is a museum you can donate creatures and fossils to, and many people try to find every possible creature and donate it. Anyway, that's what you do. It's not necessarily to everyone's taste, but if any of that sounds fun, you will love this game with its charming graphics, lovely music and vast series of tasks you can complete.

This game is fun and very immersive. There are countless items to craft and collect. Everyone in the house can participate and have their own house and share items. The only downside is everyone is vying for a turn to play. We have played this many hours, especially right now. Highly recommend.

Honestly, this game has kept me playing, though not binging as I have been in the past with the series. Real time really forces you to enjoy and play the game rather than time skip and complete your collections in a week. Other than that, beautiful game that pairs well with a busy adult life.

Awesome way to relax and just build your island anyway you want and talk to friends while creating!

The latest Animal Crossing game came at the perfect time. With millions of people trapped at home, what better than a game where you travel to your own private island and mingle with anthropomorphic creatures while you decorate your home, go fishing, catch bugs, and otherwise lounge around? If you share a Switch with family members, you can even play couch co-op with up to four players. The only downside is each person playing on the same console does not get their own island, they only share one, and only the "main" player can make progress. But it does have online eight player capability and the design tool you are given for patterns is very robust. Keep in mind, this is not the kind of game that you just waltz in and "beat", it's meant to be played in short bursts. There's no end goal, really (unless you count paying off debts, adding new facilities to the island). It's a social simulation type game where you chat up locals and just do your own thing. Just what the doctor ordered to pass the time.

What can’t you do in this game? Fully customizable house, exterior and eventually the whole island! The phone feature makes gameplay much more streamlined and fits very naturally into the game. There are a few gripes like one island per console but that doesn’t take away from how great it is!!

I bought this game for the family to play given all the hype and excitement. Animal Crossing delivers! It’s whimsically fun and there is so much depth to what you are able to do. The discovery of those subtle surprises is what makes this game a delight day after day. We are addicted!

Man, I love this game. As a rule I don't usually give a hoot about video games, I mean I haven't had a console since the eighties, no joke. This, however, is too much fun as most of the planet already knows. It's helped me get through the pandemic, it chills me out when I'm stressed, I am still having fun on it even after having it for months and months. I highly recommend it if you have been one of the rare folks on the fence about it. I genuinely can't stand most games and I absolutely love this one, so if you want something to relax by and have a good time while designing and decorating your space, this is for you. I can even play it with my young kid, who also has a great time on it, and it gives us yet another common interest to bond over. Can't like it enough. Would like to have changing variety of items to redeem with miles, though, but that's beside the point.

It was a gift for my girlfriend and she hasn't been able to put down the game, she loves it!

This game is honestly something of a wicked experience. I have always played action-adventure rpg games and have been a fan of games that release cyclicly every year that include Pokemon, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Mario, etc. I've been playing games all my life and I kind of got bored playing the same game with the same mechanics all over again with different gimmicks. I'm happy to say that this game has proudly got me back into my long-time favorite hobby and reminded me why I love video games so much. It is so different and unique from everything I've personally played. Now I'm sure there are other games with a similar format, and I was hesitant on trying something new that I would probably end up not playing. From all the unique things you can do and the world/character development, I'm glad I gave this a shot and most of all this game has made me believe that I should keep an open mind and try out new things to play.

This is the first Animal Crossing I have invested serious time into. There are so many options for being creating and building the perfect community. Everything is explained to you over time but it may take several days to really get started. A great experience but not for impatient players.

This game can make you smile regardless of your age. It nurtures social skills in a positive way. The tasks in the game are relaxing and fun.

I've played and enjoyed them all since Gamecube, even though they're all pretty much the same concept. The game is charming and addictive, and the latest gameplay additions are a welcome change (I'm not going to spoil with what they are). It looks stunning and sounds sweeter than ever.

I've played at least 4hrs a day for the 8 days I've owned the game! You just get hooked in and don't want to stop playing! Either selling stuff to pay off your loans and just searching for new bugs, fish, fossils. Best Animal Crossing game yet. Simple but very polished game and graphics.

Animal Crossing New Horizons appeals to any fans of casual, relaxing gaming. You can spend hours decorating, fishing, bug-catching, or terraforming your island paradise. Play local or online multi-player for even more fun. Please note that you can only have one island on your Switch.
