Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nearly the perfect game for anyone who wants to escape reality. When played as it’s meant to be played, it is meant to be almost unbeatable and will last a long time. There’s will still be a million possibilities even months into playing the game. I bought the Nintendo Switch just to play this game. After playing for a couple of weeks, I can safely say that I made the right decision. I do have a few critiques of the game, such as the fact that we are limited to one island per switch and have to share an island with others sharing our switch. The developers could have also made it so that you can pick up several items at once instead of one at a time since that is tedious but I do understand that this is meant to be played at a slow pace. So keep that in mind when you play. I considered giving the game 4 stars due to these complaints, but I decided the pros outweigh the cons by too much.

I dont have really anything bad to say about this game, sometimes i do not realize how long ill be playing, its that addictive Definitely burns time and has so many things to do, my whole family has their own copies!

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

Very relaxing game. I can play with my 3 boys here at home or with my daughter in the Navy. You can visit other people's islands and give gifts. It's lots of fun amd not a fast paced game. Lots or ways to be creative.

Purchased this game for my wife 2 years ago so she can play with our teenagers. The kids don't play much anymore but my wife plays a little every day still. It must be a great game if she's still playing it daily for this long. Seems to be a fun game for both kids and adults.

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

I never really understood why so many people were hyped for this game, but given the social restrictions from the pandemic, I figured this would be a good game to add to my collection to play during the quarantine. I can't tell you exactly what it is, but there is something about ACNH that is extremely satisfying. The real-time sync adds a lot to the game by making me excited to do certain things in the morning vs the evening. It also really helps manage burnout from the game because it almost encourages you to take breaks if you want. The customization is really fun. I've spent hours on simply figuring out how to make pixel art of my favorite pop culture series. There is something really satisfying about the sound effects in the game as well. The sounds even just in the menus when you click on things are very soothing somehow. This game is tons of fun and definitely worth trying out.

Animal Crossing is just one of the most enjoyable and relaxing games I have ever played. It's really escapism at its finest (which has been really great because of all the recent changes because of COVID-19). I'll admit, I was a little hesitant before buying the game (I thought it was going to be boring). However, even though the first couple of days went by a little slowly, after that, I really started to enjoy the game. I've already played over sixty hours on it, and I'm still planning on continuing, so it's money well-spent in my opinion. It's definitely a game that you can play at your own pace, and there is no real rush to complete the tasks quickly if you don't want to. It's really a stress, free, enjoyable game. Who knew doing chores to pay off an in-game loan could be so fun? Definitely would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys cute, relaxing, and enjoyable games.

Great graphics. Easy to play. Their speech is kind of annoying though. Overall, its a good game. A lot of walking lol.

This was my first Animal Crossing game. It came at the perfect time during quarantine. It kept me busy and distracted for hours, it's a fun game to play solo or with friends or family. There is a lot do in this game and will be well worth the purchase.

Animal Crossing has always been an enjoyable series largely in part due to the relaxing gameplay and music. It's an easy game to pick up, but sometimes harder to put down. They've packed a lot of content in here and it looks like even more will be on the way.

I'm not much of a gamer but I saw a lot of people I know talking about Animal Crossing and thought it looked like my kind of game - and I was right! It's so cute and calming, I love getting to design my island however I want! Definitely worth it!

Love this game! I get to play it with one of my brothers who had it first, but this games is so cool. You don't have to play it super hard core to get the fun. And the graphics of some of the characters is just so cute!

This game was truly made with love and care for the series and fandom. There are some quality of life updates that are needed but the game is fun, relaxing, and addicting. It also has received support from Nintendo in the form of post launch free content.

There’s plenty to do and it’s overall a really fun and cute game

My kids love this game. Overall I would rate this a five star hit with the kids; however I have to mark it down to a 4 star (possibly 3?) because of the limits the game has with playing multiplayer on the same console. There can only be one main player on an island, in which only that player can begin/complete the different objectives. Thus, time sharing a console with multiple kids has proven to be difficult to accomplishing objectives. Additionally, in multiplayer mode, the 2nd/3rd/4th player(s) is/are stuck in a follower mode scenario and not able to access their own collection(s) or do anything aside from what the 1st player wants to do. Very different from the multiplier games I grew up with. Ultimately, the sharing factor became more and more difficult to the point in which I was tempted to either take the game away, or do what the creators likely want consumers to do and purchase an additional console(s) (Nintendo Lite) and additional game(s). Having 4 kids and also being a bit of a softy; I now own 4 Nintendo Switches and 4 of the same game (which apparently has some added benefits as far as the objective of the game goes; as well as their ability to play together via WiFi). Ultimately I am the one who gave in and made the additional purchases, but this came was the root cause. So a win or lose strategy by Nintendo and the game developers got the best of me.

Lots of content and stuff to do. Its definitely a bit different than the older AC games but is still enjoyable and fun.

Nintendo has once again given us a wonderful Animal Crossing game. For people new to the series, this game entails fishing, catching bugs, building wardrobes and other Do It Yourself items and is a very relaxing game to play. Just watch out for the spiders.

I have put in over 100 hours and they keep releasing more and more content this summer. Very fun to play with your kids where they can fish, swim, catch bugs, and buy clothes/furniture. There is always a lot of things to do. Highly recommended.

My mother in law retired recently. (Right at the beginning of the pandemic) I'd been talking to her about finding other hobbies aside from puzzles and let me tell you she is in her mid 60s and has been playing and enjoying this game along with a 2 other seniors for years now. Don't ben intimidated by the game. It takes time but when you learn it, you will have a blast. No win or lose in this game, just relax, build a house, catch fish, collect, help other villagers, become an interior decorator, visit a museum, chop wood, mine iron, craft with your resources, cook, etc. You just have to get it in your hands to understand why this game is fantastic.
