Customer Ratings & Reviews

Animal Crossing games have had a split history for me. The original was a game type I had never played before. I nice relaxing game with no real end goal; just decorate my house, catch some fish and chat with my lovely animal neighbors. But, since it was on my TV I would tend to play for hours. The handheld games I took the opposite approach, making it a daily routine to play for up to an hour but being just as fun in smaller quantities. This game is both wrapped up in a beautiful bow that is a next generation title. The biggest addition are the many lairs of customization the game offers.

Best Animal Crossing game yet! Unlike previous games in the series, you can now terraform your island! Can also place items outside of your house. Easily lose hundreds of hours designing the island you want. Lots of designs online you can download via codes, for custom paths, clothes, etc. The only downside of this game is that every user on your Switch is on the same island. Meaning you have to share your island. Sometimes that other user might accidently change your look of an area or kick out your favorite villager, etc. Really odd choice for them to make it one island per Switch console. Online play is optional & is very clunky. You have to enter a code to enter a friend's island, there's lots of loading hiding behind the fly over animation/cutscenes, where it takes like 30 seconds to 5 minutes before you can actually move around on their island. Meanwhile your friend & everyone else already on the island is interrupted & also have to wait. It gets really annoying when multiple people visit during the same session. Lots of waiting as each player loads.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is not just a game; it's a heartwarming journey into a world of creativity, community, and unparalleled charm. As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that this Nintendo Switch masterpiece is not just a title; it's an experience that transcends the boundaries of virtual reality.

Amazing! The game is tons of fun and perfectly enjoyable and relaxing for all ages! Thanks Nintendo for bringing back my best childhood memories, keep it coming!

I have been playing Animal Crossing since the Nintendo GameCube. This game is amazing and full of fun. The new individual island and its customizations adds to hours of game time. Some things to note. You can only have ONE island per Nintendo Switch. If you have siblings and they are sharing the console they all will have their own character but only ONE island. Other than that all I can say if you feel like adventuring around whether in your own island or visiting other people's island this game is a must own for any Nintendo Switch user.

I didn’t think I’d love this game so Much. It quickly becomes an obsession. Super easy to pick up and learn and will keep your entertained for hours on end.

We ordered this with high expectations of course. The only criticism I can come up with is that if you have two separate accounts on one switch, it does not let you both have a separate island of your own. You have to share an island and that was not clear to us initially. But, overall it's still a very sweet game and very sweet in such a stressful time.

Bought this game for my sisters. They've been wanting to play it for a while and they love it. They seem to like it and its a good way to pass the time for them. Love to see it

This game is so awesome. It’s great for mindful activity during this difficult time and can bring fun for hours! Also visiting people’s islands is super cool.

Fantastic game. Highly recommend for children. My kids love it

Cute, relaxing, fun. This game can be super relaxing when you just want something easy to play.

Great way to wind down after a day of work. Nintendo hit it out of the park here, you have a lot of freedom to get creative with your island. Highly recommend

Fantastic this game is addicting and fun to play there is so much to do With not enough hour in the day I play this as often as I can great for all ages

Great game for adults and kids. This game doesn’t get old and changes with the season. I highly recommend it.

I've played AC titles since the first North American release on the Gamecube. This game really blows the others out of the water in a lot of ways, and it's also incredibly relaxing and calming to play. At the beginning you'll have a lot to do and a lot of little milestones that will get you feeling connected to your islanders and your island; once you get deep into the game, it becomes more about making your own fun and getting creative with designing and decorating your house and island. I put over 600 hours into the game before I decided I needed a break
