Customer Ratings & Reviews

Animal Crossing is a relaxing and fun game. You start off in a deserted island and continually build it up to however you want it to look. There's so much you can do to improve your island that it's hard to put the game down. There are so many items and furnitures you can create via crafting. You can also catch bugs or fish to expand your museum collection or sell them for more money for your island. There's also a lot of nice options for clothes, but you can also create your own designs if you'd like. I'm 200 hours in and still improving my island. Easy 5 stars.

Having played Animal Crossing since the Gamecube days, I love how the game has evolved. The game is essentially a life simulator with cute characters. The game has charming characters, and the colors and environments are fun to look at. You create your own character and you're tasked with helping the island grow. You can get your own house and make it grow. It's a fun and relaxing game where you can fish, catch bugs, and enjoy the outdoors. The game has been fun since the gamecube days, all of the way to the most recent iteration.

Bought for my son. I anm not into games but he convinced me to play and 3 hours later I was still loving it. Easy to get lost in time.

This game is a never ending entertainment. You can do many things and it sure made me addicted to it. Saved my sanity since pandemic started.

Daughter has been waiting so long for this and the game does not disappoint. So much to do and cfreate on all the different places in the game

bought for my nephew. He is 6 so he's not reading yet. He gets a little frustrated with needing to be able to read things but loves it otherwisw

Awesome game! And I got a great deal on it here on Best Buy!

I've played the Animal Crossing franchise for about 10 years now. This game blows New Leaf for the 3ds out of the water, which was also a great game. I have had so much fun playing this game every day both alone in my own singleplayer world, and also joining my friend's islands or inviting them to mine. It's a very family-friendly game as well, so no need to worry about violence or bad language. I think anyone could pick this game up regardless of if they've ever played an Animal Crossing game, or any video games at all. It's happy, addictive, and a good time.

I mean, if you've played Animal Crossing games before, you know what to expect. But the game does two things well- pacing out features you unlock as you develop your island, and giving you more customization and creative freedom then ever before. The charm is still there, the music is beautiful. I have heard complaints about how the game is less fun with multiple users using one switch, and I've seen how anyone other than the first play doesn't get the same benefits. I hope this will be addressed in the future. But if you're the only player, it's fantastic.

Love playing this game, with many hrs of scenarios great for kids

Okay I did not know what to expect with this, I was very hesitant because of the price and I didn’t know if it was going to be boring but omg!! I love it! If you’re a person who enjoys playing sims and all those “life making” games, this one is for you! It is SUPER relaxing for some reason. It is quite an obsession and I don’t know why. I’m glad I went ahead and got it. I feel like if you have a switch, you just need to have this game just because. It’s very relaxing and very fun. I see it as my escape from reality.

Had some bad FOMO about this game, so I got the game for myself. It never looked like that much fun, but we all have extra time now, so I decided to give it a shot. The first two days, I couldn't figure out what was so fun about it. The third day, I spent a little more time, then more the next day, and the next. Now I'm pretty hooked to it, though it's also one of those games you can easily put down if you're busy and have something to do. You can easily pour in hundreds of hours into this game if you're looking to pass the lockdown much faster.

It got my gf and I through the pandemic, it’s wonderful. It’s been almost a year & there’s so much we haven’t gotten. Nintendo why must you make us wait? So many easy quality of life updates could make this game a forever masterpiece. I love it, had to learn to like crafting. I’m at the point now where it’s not the first game I’m booting up since it’s so repetitive now. I’m feeling like I’ve done almost everything & that makes me sad for an AC game. Frequent substantial updates is all we ask.

If you want to forget about covid and how lame things are right now, this game is perfect. Stress, anxiety, even crippling depression fall away when you hop into the cute, friendly world of animal crossing. The game is easy to understand and thanks to its sandbox nature, you won’t get frustrated by it. You’re free to create your own island however you see fit. You can play online with friends or do your own thing. It’s relaxing designing your house, catching bugs, fishing and interacting with your island critters. Well worth the $60, and then some.

I love this game so much it is so fun. I really recommend getting, i played older versions of animal crossing as a kid, im now 20 and love this game.

Great game , very creative and great for kids lots of fun to see your friends islands and how they decide to stylize them

My friends pressured me to get them since they’re all playing it. It’s fun and your creativity will be tested lol. Just get it. You won’t regret.

I had bought a physical copy even tho i owned a digital copy, that’s how much i absolutely adore this game. animal crossing is hands down one of the greatest sozy game experiences you can have. at times it can get a little repetitive but for the most part it’s an amazing experience.

Whether you're new to Animal crossing or a long-time fan of the series, this game has a lot to offer. People may ask what do you do in this game? There's lots to do! Improve your island, build your house, customize your character, play with friends and the local residents, go fishing and so much more. Do what you want for as long as you want. Although the first few days playing the game can feel slow and limited, this is done so you can slowly learn how to play the game and not be overwhelmed. Overall, it's a great game and would definitely recommend it.

Fabulous game!!!! Love the cute characters and ease of building. My 11yr old and 13 ur old love playing this game. Perfect Xmas present
