    I anxiously waited for this game for so long and when I got it there was no looking back. It provided me something to do during these hard times and the game is just so beautiful. It makes New Leaf look so poorly made when it wasn’t at all. Don’t regret buying this!

    I love this game. I’ve been playing for over two years. Fun to get in play a little or a lot. Been playing Animal Crossing games for over 15 years.

    Very relaxing or stressful depending on what you want to do in the game. I prefer relaxing, so I take my time earning bells to pay back my debts. I prefer to dig up fossils to populate my museum and go fishing for rarer aquatic species which I donate to the museum or sell.

    I've been playing ACNH every day since I bought it (47 days as of this review) and have had a hard time putting it down. There are new fish and bugs to catch every month, along with little events and activities throughout the year. I see myself playing this for a long time.

    Great game, my wife and I are both playing (note you need a 2nd switch to have separate islands). Totally worth buying a 2nd switch. She doesn't game much but has lots of social media friends/groups playing so she's enjoying herself, especially while everything is in lockdown.

    Everyone in the family enjoys this game, including our 5 year old. We even made a house and character for our 18 month old and they both get a kick out of it. The little pouch was a nice touch, our 5 year old keeps his bakugan in it. Must buy especially during the quarantine!

    I never thought a game like this would hold my attention for as long or be so much fun. A great way to immerse yourself into another world that is happy and carefree, without being so simple that you feel like it is only for children. I look forward to playing it every day!

    it’s basically therapy. i’ve played the previous games before and the way that you can do so much with this game is amazing. it really takes you away from reality during these hard times. i would definitely recommend to any new players as well since it’s very easy to play :)

    My daughter came to me asking about this game the other day. Little did she know, I had already bought it for her. She took to it like riding a bike, even though she’s never played an AC game before - and she loves it after spending over 5 hours so far.

    Do you suddenly find yourself with large amounts of free time? Are you looking for an activity to keep within the limits of 6 feet away from other humans? Then this is the game for you! You will spend ALL, and I mean all of your waking hours playing this game, its that great.

    I love this game especially during this pandemic, I work at a grocery store which is very stressful and this game just helps me escape to an island getaway where I don’t have to worry about real life for a couple of minutes...or hours. It’s so easy to lose track of time.

    I don't really connect with people or decorate but if I did this game would be good. Really cute. I like walking on the beach and pretending its Hawaii or jumping in the water but I didn't do the main focus of the game which may be to visit friends and hang out.

    This game definitely has been a life saver during the recent pandemic of covid-19. I for one am not too familiar with Animal Crossing titles such as City Folk and New Leaf. But this game sure does perform well and it sure looks great since it has a better platform to play on.

    This game is great - starts off a bit slow the first few days, but playing with online friends makes it a bit easier to really shape your island into what you want it to be. I really like the option to just pop in a do a few things or to spend hours reorganizing everything.

    Fills my 22 year old heart with joy, good for any age and a good way to pass the time. Came in perfect shape and works as expected. You get occasional updates with new items for special occasions. Addicting and became part of my daily routine before work.

    The purchase through BestBuy: A very quick and easy download that comes in your email after purchase. Just make sure to hold on to the email it comes in. Really handy when you don't want to worry about losing the tiny game cartridge. The game: I've always loved Animal Crossing. I remember playing it on the GameCube when I was young, and since then I've gotten all the games that have followed. After seven years since the release of New Leaf, the game for 3DS, I was elated to find out a new game was coming out, although worried that all the changes may get rid of the nostalgic Animal Crossing feel. However, the changes ended up simply making that seven year wait worth it. It's almost hard to go back to another Animal Crossing game after playing this one, since they stepped up their game just that much. Whether you're new to the world of Animal Crossing or a Forest Life veteran, it's hard not to fall in love with New Horizons.

    Had to buy this game after finding out it was coming out for the switch. Couldn't have made a smarter purchase. It makes me feel nostalgic coming back to something I would play when I was younger. Also it doesnt hurt to get away from your real life to a fun and exciting one.

    Animal crossing is a cute and simple game. Fun for everyone, you can spend hours playing alone, and if you have nintendo online you can visit other friends island’s online. There are in game events and weekly visitors to the island to get to know.
