    Great game but you’ll have to pony up $$!

    Game is great! Kids LOVE it! Only downside is that each of them need their own game and console if they all want to get the most out of the gameplay experience! What do I mean by this? So if more than one person wants to play, they’ll all play on the same island, only one player can be the leader and have access to everything that you can do in the game. The other players are pretty much left high and dry until the leader decides to relinquish control. But then the previous leader won’t be able to progress their character until they regain the leader role. That to me is ridiculous! Feels like a money grab! Gameplay itself is 5 stars. The fact that only one person can truly enjoy the game per cartridge/console is 1 star. Hence my 3 star overall rating! If you’re the only one in your house wanting to play then by all means, pick this one up. If not, get ready to pass the switch around ALOT. And remember that someone will be upset having to “live” on someone else’s island!

    This game is great for winding down a long work day. Very therapeutic. Love collecting all the items and being surprised with the changing landscapes, creatures, seasons and holidays. Teaches responsibility too.

    This game is great for the Kids. Takes a bit to get used to. There is alot of dialog in the beginning but after that the game is extremely exciting exploring the virtual world.

    My kid absolutely loves this. It has helped with some of the boredom of being out of school so long. Wonderful game Bc it also teaches youngsters about working, getting a loan for a house, and paying for things.

    Loved this game since I was a child. There's a lot of new things to do in this version and my friends and I had a blast when covid first started meeting up at each others' islands instead of irl

    Awesome for killing time if you aren't busy. I liked the game play because it was simple to learn and gave me a lot of ability to make my island my own. It takes time/is slow to start but is good overall.

    I've never played any of the prior AC games until this one. I have to say, it's very fun to play alone and with friends. It's a great introduction into the series as well as an amazing game to play casually.
