    Island

    Rated 4 out of 5 stars

    Cool game yet complex with multiple switches.

    Our family has multiple Nintendo switches so this game is somewhat confusing to use. We bought one physical game but are still trying to figure out how to go to each other's islands and such. You're only allowed one Island per switch and with only one physical game you can only play on one switch at a time. Unless I just I'm not figuring it out I'm still looking into it to see if it's better to get the digital copy maybe I could use it on all three at the same time.

    Bought two copies for the house and a switch lite to go with the regular switch for the wife and daughter to play it on. They love it. They play online with four other friends that bought copies and switch lites just so they can all play together.

    I love this game I have so many hours in already and there's always something to do! I would recommend this to old players of this series because you know what to expect. But if new players are curious, more power to you It's a treasure of a game :)

    Fun and for the most part simple game. It's nice way to be creative. It's not for everyone though as the gameplay is based around the idea that things take time to happen but I feel like that is what makes making your island look nice rewarding.

    Such a relaxing and fun game. More of a life simulator than a game, it’s meant to be played in little chunks each day rather than beaten in an afternoon... especially since there is no win condition, the game goes on forever.

    I haven't gotten this much enjoyment from a video game in a WHILE. It's so chill and self-paced and calming (except for the scorpions and tarantulas and wasps, lol) -- I love it!!!

    This game is so much fun! My wife and I almost purchased a second Switch so we didn't have to take turns playing but this game has unlimited potential. Get to explore and use your own creativity to create your own little world.

    Love this. It is the best game ever. I bought Switch because of this game. The game is creative and fun. It has 400 + animals for you to choose and you could build whatever style of the island you like, which is fun and time-consuming.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a wonderful addition to the franchise. It offers a lot of new features while keeping the best of the previous games. It's a slow start at first, but there's always something to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

    My girlfriend and I play this game regularly throughout the week (we have two switches and 2 copies of this game), and it provides some great variation from just watching TV. Traveling to the other islands is pretty easy, and it is a ton of fun!

    Please just buy it and de-stress. There’s nothing the world could use more right now than an island getaway where you get to build and curate and sort everything out... in a way you wish the real world would. I’m already past 130 hours invested.

    This game is still an anomaly in the video game world though not as much as it once was with other games like stardew valleyfiling the same niche. It does deliver on taking you away into your own little world that is as soft and cute as possible.

    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.

    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.
