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

Animal Crossing: New Horizons was/is heralded as one of, if not, the best game to play during this 2020 global pandemic. I can definitely see why/ the mass appeal. It's very simplistic in nature, but, at the same time, very involved, engaging, addicting, and oddly relaxing. Get ready to invest lots of time in this game, especially, if you're the type of gamer who likes to complete/collect everything. Adults will appreciate and/or shake their heads at all the puns/dad jokes, while kids will learn all the game's equivalent of real-life money management (buying/selling goods), building/crafting/customizing, and the stock market (in the form of turnips). All in all, think Sim City + The Sims + Minecraft on a deserted tropical island. Enjoy, everyone.

It's very fun my fiance bought it for both of us and I have been hooked on it while he's at work. It's a great game for any kid 10+ nothing too difficult to learn you actually put recipes together and collect fruits, plants etc.

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

I love this game. It is so cute and wholesome and villagers sometimes make me laugh out loud. Today (May 1st) is my birthday and the villagers that I've made friends with ACTUALLY THREW ME A BIRTHDAY PARTY! With gifts and everything. I've played the previous games in this series so I understand the mechanics better than someone who hasn't. For example, to avoid getting stung by the wasps, have your net ready then try to catch them. Also you can use their nest to create medicine if you do get stung. I would recommend that if you've never played any games in this series that you watch some YouTube videos to help you.

This game hit in the perfect storm at the start of Covid. I really liked it, although I've moved onto other titles at this point. There's more than enough to do in this game for the price.

This is a great casual game for everyone in the family to enjoy. If you are new or old to this franchise, or have never picked up a video game until this Corona outbreak. Sit back relax and enjoy an laid back island adventure. In this game ure character is chosen as the island representative that means you get to choose where everything goes on the island. This is not a fast paced game, the same day, date, and time as the real world is also happening in your game. You turn on the game in the morning its morning in game, in the afternoon same, night same. The game also rewards you for slightly different experience in morning, noon, or night game play, with only certain fish, or bugs that come out at those times. Have, fun, explore, fish, catch bugs, plant flowers and trees.

I purchased this for my wife. She only enjoys games that doesn't require intensive controls. This game is relaxing and has plenty to do. She has been playing the game non-stop in her free time. Clocking in over 150 hours.

Animal crossing is in my opinion the best simulation game out there for the Nintendo switch and quite possibly any console. The graphics are great and the gameplay is better. A must have game for any Nintendo switch owner.

My husband bought this game at release (03/25/20) & started playing, I’ve never played any of the Animal Crossing games before and since I don’t play much video games I would just watch him play, after a couple of weeks, I took over his game! & then a couple of months later I decided to buy my own console & game & create my own island. Best decision I made. It’s such an addicting game, you go at your own pace and it’s fun. Game was easy to learn. There is so much to do in the game. I’ve been playing for about a year now, and love the updates, seasonal items that pop up. You sure don’t get bored with this game & it can get time consuming but definitely love playing!

I'm an adult who never played the original animal crossing games because we only owned a super Nintendo and every Playstation known to man. I wasn't too sold when my friends who were obsessed with the game kept bugging me to get it so we could play together, but I finally caved when I realized I could use my Best Buy rewards and birthday coupon to purchase it at a lower price (ya know, just so I didn't feel like I wasted a bunch of money I something I didn't like). Well....I'm a true convert! This game is so much fun and so relaxing! I really feel like I missed out on something as a kid, but I'm so glad my friends pressured me to getting this! It's a great game for casual play or for serious players who want to take advantage of the daily goals and challenges.

This is the ultimate Animal Crossing experience. Fans of the franchise will love that the core gameplay has remained the same, while also adding new features that evolve the formula and add new ways to customize the island.

Highly addictive. fun game to spend an hour or a day on. lots to do and keep you entertained. End game gets annoying though imo with trying to make the perfect town with how the movement of buildings works.

Great add on very fun and easy to use digital delivery

What else can I say about this game that has not yet been written?? It's Animal Crossings where animals cross! My kids cannot get enough of it. Neither can I.

I love this games. It is the most engaging fun game that’s out there. You play as island representative for your vacation island full of animals build houses. Fill them with furniture and grow fruit and flowers.

Remember what is was like to go out and visit your friends? This games let's you relive that experience. Create an island decorate and terraform to your liking. Visit friends islands see how they decorated their virtual island. Explore other island harvest all their resources only to build a bigger better island for yourself. This is slow paced methodical game that uses real time to dictate what you can do in your virtual island. You could cheat by changing the clock on your switch but at that point you might aswell just break your switch since you don't value how the game is supposed to be played. if you wants to accomplish chores in a digital landscape to forget about the looming threat of the coronavirus this game is for you 10/10 would recommend.

Animal Crossing has always been a bit formulaic, but New Horizons changes it up and allows a lot more creativity that we previously had to hack our games for. Nintendo really listened to what its fans wanted and delivered.

I’m 27. I’ve barely played video games, and I’ve never had my own. I was excited to make this my very first one. The controls are easy to learn and every detail in the game is so lovely. The only real goal is to make a world that you like. It barely even feels like a game to me. There is something new to look forward to every single day. It literally gives me a reason to get out of bed during this quarantine monotony. With the sheer amount of content in ACNH, every player is bound to have a totally unique experience. I just love it so much and will undoubtedly be playing for years to come. Everyone in my family has a copy!

Buyer beware! I love this game! It will have you stuck in playing for hours and hours on end. Great stress reliever and decompressor.
