Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super addicting game. I didn't think id be this into it, its nice. You can get creative with your island and even get cool villagers to move in. You can also go to your friend’s island if they have the game + Nintendo Switch Online.

This was my first foray into Animal Crossing. I heard good things and decided to give it a try. I was not prepared for the amount of things to do and see! This is the perfect video game for these times when we are social distancing from each other.

It’s a real time life sim, so if you get bored it’s your own fault, they have A LOT you can do and build. The first week is way more limited, so if you ARE bored just wait some time and you’re gonna have a blast. Meanwhile start hoarding materials.

Old time Animal crossing fan and this game is a worthy succesor of the franchise. It has all the elements you love and so much more. It's soothing and enjoyable, stress free and a super nice way to unwind after a long day.

This game is so chill and laid back. It’s a great game to not feel pressure to keep progressing. I like the change of pace and the couch co-op play with my family. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to take it easy and relax.

Wonderful game so far! I enjoyed New Leaf, so being able to play this on my TV or handheld is pretty nifty, plus we are all staying indoors. It's a perfect combination. This is a very stress-free game and is actually a great stress reliever. There is a little something for everyone in this game, young and old alike. I will say that I understand the low ratings involving the one island per console, but I don't share my switch and I'm solo, so I'm good. I don't think a mechanic in online play should necessarily sway someone away from this great game. Hopefully Nintendo will add something later to fix that, but for right now I love it for what it is, and that is a very fun escape from the dark world around right now. Stay safe and enjoy this fantastic game!

Great game to play by yourself or with family and friends! Timeless

The game itself is cool. My daughter enjoyed it for a little until she started playing fortnite.

This game has been very relaxing for me. I enjoy the game play, graphics, and interaction with others. While being at home all day this has kept me occupied and content. It's a little bit different than it's pervious versions but still a fun game.

It's been years since we got a new Animal Crossing game and this is definitely worth the wait! Starting out on a deserted island and working your way up is a great experience and memorable one at that. Can't wait to see what the next day brings!

Started to play this with all the craziness going on and being stuck at home. Wife and kids love playing it and watching as well. Upgrades to the house get crazy expensive but overall it doesn't take an extreme amount of time to finish the loans.

Really helped when getting through quarantine! My daughter was able to play with some of her friends even while being quarantined. It’s a great game to play and allows friends to play with each other even if they are far apart.

Love it. Be Prepared to be wasting a lot of time. Of course if you’re in one of the states is no longer in a lockdown it’s not gonna be a great thing but if you’re still in lockdown is going to be wonderful for you just like it is for me!!! LOL

Got it on release day and haven't stopped playing since. Great for all ages and with the extra time spent indoors now. Would definitely recommend if you already have the switch. If not, you may want to go out and get the switch to play this game!

The game starts a little slow but once you get through the main challenges the pace picks up and it’s really a lot of fun!

Both my 16 year old and my believe it or not 22 year old who was addicted to the original game on the GameCube. Absolutely love this game! They constantly play with it and are now able to be in the game together for even more fun. It’s a winner!

Fun to play and easy to play online with friends!!

As a major fan of previous games in the series, I can say that New Horizons is a great addition to the Animal Crossing line-up. The game preserves all of the aspects that make Animal Crossing great - the chill play style, the cuteness, the witty dialogue - while also adding some new features to keep the series feeling fresh for long-time fans. I find that they took the best elements of the mobile game Pocket Camp, such as crafting, and modified them for NH. Nook Miles are another modified-from-mobile feature that adds another way to stretch your engagement with the game, rewarding players for daily play. There's a lot to laugh in this game, and I can see the developers have a lot more planned for players. Now is the best time to escape to your peaceful island and hang with your real-life friends while also making some virtual, animal ones.

This is a great, kind, game for your kids. My daughter loves it and it teaches her money management, people management, and she gets to play online as well. There's tons of sharing as we can visit each other's islands. Really sweet game.

My girlfriend has over 100 hours into the game already and I keep finding myself coming back a little bit every day to discover something new. Endless customization, cute characters and a task system that allows you to escape the every day toils.
