    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.

    This game took up a lot of my time and I know many of you have lots of time on your hands right now and why not use that time to play one of the best switch games out there that is easy for anyone to Understand and get a grasp of pretty easily.

    This game is addicting! It is so much fun building your own town and making bridges and decorating your house. Visiting other islands in search of new things or towns people is the best! There are SO MANY things you can do in this game.

    This game is very engaging and a good distraction on what is going on in the world right now. In this game, you create a community in your island. Overall, fun, entertaining, and charming game. (Real time is being used to progress your island)

    If you are a switch on her chances are you ready know everybody is currently playing Animal Crossing New Horizons Because of COVID-19 and that people are trying to find ways to communicate in some form I’ve been playing animal Crossing since I was about nine years old starting with the second game (which was the first game outside Japan) that came out on the GameCube while my family and I stayed all by my grandmothers for hurricane Katrina and Rita. It’s a nice way to help kill time and I’ve been a fan since then. The only problem I have with this is that you have to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to get custom designs that you can’t find QR codes for online. I understand that for online multiplayer to visit peoples islands makes sense, but really? You have to have an online subscription just to download custom designs?

    It is a fun and relaxing game. Best way to describe it is like the Sims and Minecraft but you need to gather resources to build things and to create your own island paradise. It even has some nice dad jokes in it when you catch a bug or fish.

    Game is super fun, lots to do. Teaches kids to be responsible, teaches kids to stick to tasks, and pay off your debt. Lots of crafting and fun for all ages. Did not think I was gonna like it but my kids got me into it. Love the calm atmosphere.

    My sister has picked up this game and won’t put it down. Like- not even kidding- it’s been days. She hasn’t come out of her room. She sustains herself on peaches and prays to some man named Tom Nook. Family destroying, wholesome fun and fishing.

    I mean that's all you need to know, it's Animal Crossing. Yes it's missing a few things but I'm sure they'll add them in future updates (as they already have been). It's amazing and it'll keep you busy and thinking of new ways to terraform.

    Relaxing Game to Spend Countless Hours On

    I logged many hours on this game, while making socially-distance memories with friends via online. The cute aesthetic brings you back, but I do know many people have dropped off due to lack of rewarding gameplay after doing the same thing for months. I preordered this game via Best Buy, in which they offered the $10 preorder bonus, which was nice. This was also the first game I had shipped instead of in-person due to the pandemic. There were no damages during shipping.

    This Animal Crossing game for the Nintendo Switch has been an awesome distraction from the crazy world we all are forced to live in right now. It’s mellow, not at all stressful, and just plain fun. Highly recommended for anyone with a Switch.

    We bought this for my daughter but the whole family likes to play. It is just one main island, but if you're okay with that and work together then it's still pretty fun. Would still rather have the option to have our own islands though.

    Had heard great things about this game and how it was helping a lot of people deal with the stress from the pandemic. My island is still far from any of the ones I’ve seen, but I am enjoying this while staying put. Not just for kids :)

    I initially bought this for my daughter but it soon took over my gaming time as well. It’s such a relaxing play at your own pace kind of game and the ability to customize so much of the world is super fun. I cannot recommend this game enough.

    I think this is the best version of the Animal Crossing formula! I’m about 150 hours into it, but the updates and seasonal items they add keep it generally fresh. Obviously you’ll hit limits eventually but it offers so much content.
