Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the 2nd game I've played in the Animal Crossing universe; the first being the mobile game, so I kind of knew what I was getting into. Game might not be for everyone since you're "grinding" to build your island, but it's a game where you don't really need to rush to get things done. You can play at your own pace and build and progress how you want. Definitely would recommend this game if you need a break from your usual 'high intensity' type games out there.

It is a fun casual game. I would recommend it without reservation.

I bought Animal Crossing back in the first months of summer after covid quarantined us all off the hype but didn’t take to the game right away. I was too busy being entranced by Super Smash Bros, and, especially, Zelda BOTW. But now I plan to go back to the game and find out what’s so great about Animal Crossing. I already looove the graphics and characters, hopefully the gameplay is just as good.

Animal Crossing is a charming and delightful escape into a whimsical world. The game's gentle pace, adorable characters, and creative freedom make it a heartwarming experience. A perfect blend of relaxation and joy, it's a must-play for a feel-good gaming session!

I’ve been playing since the release date and I’m obsessed. The online play isn’t required, but it does make it a whole lot more fun when you connect with other users. (I find people with open islands on reddit.) There are events that happen pretty often which makes the game feel new every time. Outside resources for outfits, trading, and events makes this game so much more enjoyable. This is definitely a game for those who like to collaborate and customize.

This game is really fun. Great way to be creative with your own little island! we enjoy this very much!

Pretty fun game, only thing that sucks is that you have to wait a full day to do some things. Can get boring when you can’t do much at night time. Overall though I do find the game quite entertaining and fun. It’s a good creative game to play, I would still recommend.

A true gem. Feels a bit barebones compared to New Leaf, but consistent updates and free content will push it far.

I've been a big fan of Animal Crossing since Wild World. The promise of New Horizons was actually enough to make me buy a switch! The game is amazing and absolutely worth it. Gorgeous visuals, fun new concepts different than the previous games, etc. The only drawbacks come down to Nintendo greed. Not only can you only have one island per game, you can only have one game per console, making it so that you have to have a different switch for every island (terrible for families.) There is also drawback to visiting friends' islands. Previously, traveling was a free feature, but now (according to what I've read) you have to have a Nintendo Online subscription for long distance travel. Really all horrible decisions on Nintendo's part. Otherwise, a perfect game.

Animal Crossing is the type of game you just want to play to escape a hard day. Simple to get to, but hard to put down once you get familiar with the game. Different from a typical game whose objective is to complete it, Animal crossing will continue as far as you want to. Highly recommend you give it a try, saying any more will spoil the experience that it is to experience the game for yourself.

Easy to install, easy to follow, seems to be a great game, good feedback from relatives who have this

We bought a total of 3 and everyone played them for hours at first and we still play regularly. It's fun to set up your island and my kids learn about interest and playing the "stalk" market with turnips. Very basic concepts of them but it lays ground work. There are fun events and special items plus with so much available, no two islands look alike. We visit each other's islands and trade and they play with their friends too.

She fell in love with the game. Haven't spoken to her in a while now... If I listen closely I can hear the sound of "meeps" coming from the room... Send help. "It's like a calming relaxing game, that has like little villagers in it, and you dig up stuff, and plant trees, and have houses, and furnish your house, and make stuff...Oh and you go into debt with a raccoon."

This game has been a life saver during COVID lockdown. It's so calming to play either by yourself or with others. It's also a great source of satisfaction and fulfillment when the real world is proving difficult. I love the fact that the game operates in real time. It gives you something to look forward to and keeps you coming back day after day to see what's new. All ages will enjoy this game and find an activity in it that calls to then. Cannot recommend enough!

Great game for casual play. You can dabble in all the things it has to offer or focus on one aspect of gameplay. It offers online social play, mining/ harvesting, farming, fishing, custom outfit creation, custom building/ scenery, and design a layout to name a few. If you are looking for a go at your on pace, pick what you want to do, and casual gameplay, then this is for you. If you want set goals with an end game, then look elsewhere.

This game is amazing honestly one of the best games I’ve played in a while beautiful design and gameplay love the idea of being able to create an entire island community from scratch just get an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction watching you island community grow and being able to add new life to it daily this game is a 10/10 for me definitely worth buying for anyone out there who can’t decide if they should get it or not I guarantee you will not be disappointed

Fun game. I bought a digital copy for my kid, found out you can only have one island per console, and if you have a lite, you can only play one player at a time, so I couldn’t play along with them. I bought a second console, you can play with the digital copy, but only under the person that purchased the software unless you change it to your primary console, and then it disables ability for second person (ie the kids account) from playing on the light. AND you can’t play console to console local play unless you have a second copy. I don’t want her having rando people visiting their island, and really wanted to have a visitor, so I caved and bought a second copy so we could. Kind of a pain, so be aware. You can play together at the same time on local console play with a single regular switch console, but play is limited for the other players not designated as the ‘leader’. But it is a fun game to play

Purchased this for my daughter for her birthday. She's played as much as we allow since she opened it. Great graphics. Plays enough like prior version that it is easy to pickup and get to playing. Would definitely recommend to any animal crossing fan, or someone looking for a fun game for a kid that doesn't involve blood or fighting. It's fun to hear her talk about the money she has and how she's purchasing items. Now if she could just apply that to the real world.

I've been playing Animal Crossing for years and had to purchase this one as well. I've put about 200 hours into this game and plan on spending more time. It's definitely a leisurely game that is meant to be played everyday- which is a huge part of the enjoyment of it. Meeting new villagers and tweaking my island into another "home" are just a few reasons why I love it so much. I hope you get this game and have as much fun as I do and create your own memories!

Birthday gift for granddaughter and she loves it..
