Customer Ratings & Reviews

Such a chill game, you can literally leave this on in the background and the pleasant sounds from the island will most likely relax you in these stressful times. The game is deep, but not overwhelming. The game is charming, but not incredibly campy either. Nintendo magic at work! What are you waiting for?

This game is definitely not for everyone. But, if you enjoy life-sim games and you need something relaxing to play, this is the game to pick-up. It does start out slow, admittedly. But, the awarding achievement system, elements of customization, and some of the best visuals on Switch make up for that easily.

Well I purchased this game for my daughter as a summer gift for finishing her book club task. Never playing any of the games in the collection, I didn’t know what to expect. So now we are addict to playing this game. I just ordered another copy of this game for my switch so we can link our islands.

Purchased this game for my son and myself. We both were able to play using a Nintendo Online Family account which we purchased for a reasonable amount yearly. It is a good clean game with good humor and it’s very open in the sense that you can customize just about anything once you reach a certain point.

Game came in very good time and as expected. I have been playing it some each day. Good game not difficult but interesting. Have chores. Similar to the prior games but different in its own way. Fun to play. Relaxing. Good purchase. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch

Bought this for my kids, but ended up being cannibalized by the wife in terms of playing time. The graphics are good for a SIM game, and the island theme is a big plus since that's what we're into vacation wise. If you can't travel, might as well pretend you're on an island with this game.

New Horizons came out at a perfect time for many. Being a game with no clear goal, but an absolute ton of customization, you had an outlet that anybody could enjoy. My time with the game was initially quite high. Since the first month or so, I’ve played far less. However unlike prior titles in the series, there is absolutely nothing held against me for leaving it be. As someone who plays games in what one could call phases, this is absolutely a positive. I strongly suggest purchasing the game as a digital copy due to not only how the Switch works in general, but Animal Crossing New Horizons in particular. Save data is on the system itself, and New Horizons can’t be backed up through normal means. There is no additional fear of data loss (if you’re like me, anyways) by going the digital route, as there is no difference in what is lost between the two options. That rambling aside, having a title like this in a place of easily booting up at any given time furthers the carefree feel of the title. Drop in anytime.

My 9 yr old daughter loves this game! Says it’s so much fun and loves that she can “visit” her friends and family with the game. If you are looking at this game for a little one, keep in mind there is a good amount of reading that has to be done to play so not recommended for younger ones that can’t yet.

I actually bought a second copy of this game on September 11. I've had it sine April though. My fiance and I love playing it together. The multiplayer on one system is a bit rough but overall the game is absolutely fantastic! The entire concept is an A plus and it's a very relaxing game to play.

Where do I start? Turnips? Bridges? Chill? Yup it has the things you would expect an animal crossing to have. This is the best release for this series ever. Highly recommended. It’s one flaw? One island per nintendo switch. So if you’re a one switch household, prepare to share your island with your family.

This game is really fun. I'm a long time fan of the Animal Crossing(AC) series. And I've been having a lot of fun with New Horizons. Customizing my island and making friends with my villagers has been pretty fun. I do have a few gripes with it like certain tools and adding updates to the game. Like swimming, Swimming was already in the base of the previous game new leaf. But here you have to wait for it in a summer update, same for the dream station. And there are still some big things missing like brewsters. But overall I've had a very fun time and it's a relaxing game to play for the stressful day.

My kids loves this games i brought this game for my sister and two of my kids and they all play together and they say it keeps them away from the stress that they have in school or work

Easily my favorite game on the switch! Animal Crossing is one of the most relaxing, easy-going games I’ve played. It’s so fun to just build your island and watch it grow into something beautiful, and I love how many customization options there are for the characters and the in-game items.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is beautiful, charming, and packed with reasons to keep coming back. You'll spend hundreds of hours collecting fish, bugs, and bells (to purchase items), visiting with your neighbors, and perfecting your slice of paradise. It is a mindless yet rewarding escape.

This is the best game in the entire world. I am 22 years old and I’ve been playing animal crossing since it was on the game cube. I literally begged my dad for a switch just so I could play this game. I’m so obsessed. I love it so much. Best $60 I’ve ever spent. For sure. Get it. You’ll be addicted

This game is a wonderful continuation in the series. The graphical updates are stunning. The game has enough of the tedious/ mundane tasks that keep the game going. The randomization of fish/ insects/ and other tasks like popping a balloon, chopping wood, designing your home makes this game a joy and wonder.

Although it starts out a little slow, you’ll be back into the animal crossing routine by the second hour of playing. It’s a great game to play for a little bit at a time, perfect for casual gamers. But it also has expansive options for extended play, including visiting other islands, grinding for bells, etc.

I've played most of the other Animal Crossing games and this one is by far the best! There are a lot more activities and goals in this game and it helps pace the game so you don't get bored of it easily. The activities are simple and easy enough to do in a day or two but are all a part of the bigger picture!

With the COVID-19, I decided to play animal crossing for first time. Oh boy, you will be stuck in the dream land with lots of thing to do and collect. If you own Switch (it is really hard to get now) and like Minecraft games, You definitely should play this!. I am hook and can't think of it everyday!

There is nothing better than animal crossing, especially during these crazy times. One funny thing is that the game supports something that the Switch OS does not - messaging! You can send real time messages to friends who are also playing the game. Plus this game has received numerous updates and support.
