    Originally, I bought the switch for Mario games, so this was one of the last ones I bought, because everyone speaks so highly of it. Now it is literally the ONLY game I play daily. There’s so many things to do & this game will last you forever. The places you can build, go to, customize. Not to mention it’s adorable and so detailed. I can’t get enough of checking on my island everyday. 10/10

    I've loved this series ever since I got Animal Crossing: Wild World. For old players it's the same game but revamped in a way never imagined. For new players it's an experience that's very unique and I don't believe can be found anywhere else. It's a calm and soothing came that also can keep your attention from the moment you land on the island. I would love for others to experience this game.

    This is my first Animal Crossing game and it has made me an AC fan for life. I am obsessed with my little island where my life is so much better than it is in the real world. I'm cuter, I know how to swim, and I'm not afraid of bugs. I'm also so much better at saving money in the game than in reality. How does that work? Could someone explain it to me? I need therapy for my shopping addiction

    This game is really enjoyable! Day 1 pick up and there's always something to do on that island. But the game isn't made for players looking for a story or deep mechanics. This game is made to be simple for those looking to de-stress, whether you've had a bad day or just feeling lonely. WARNING, This game registers 1 island per console, so if you are sharing a console with multiple accounts expect to share the island.

    I pre ordered this game as my first animal crossing game Ive ever played and it was the best game purchase I’ve ever made! Ive had the game for about a month now and, especially with everyone having to stay home, I have easily gotten in over 200 hours of gameplay! Theres so much to do in this game that even after playing as many hours as I have, I still have a lot of work to get done on my island! Highly recommend!

    The pandemic will forever give this game a sense of nostalgia, so I hope it never dies. It helped many people including myself get through a very difficult time! The opportunities for creativity are endless, proving not every game needs linear storytelling or conflict.

    I immediately knew I wanted to buy this once it was announced. I have not been let down! I’ve played animal crossing throughout my years (City folk and New leaf). This was definitely a step up! It is such a relaxing game to play at the end of the day to rewind and I love all my neighbors! The new craft option really makes things feel real and I’m not just scrambling to get money. I love it playing this game so much!

    Best Distraction During All of This

    This game is honestly the best way to keep myself distracted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The simple joy of running around building a life on a deserted island is a lot more soothing than I expected, and one unexpected thing that I found I really appreciate is that there isn't any need for "recharging" or "energy bars" the way that some other games have. Honestly, I enjoyed it so much, I bought my dad a copy too.

    Bought this for someone who can’t get enough of this game now that they have it. I’ve been told they are much more relaxed even after just 20 minutes of playing. I’m certainly not a medical professional but if it helps them with their stress and anxiety… it was well worth the purchase.

    My friends always told me to get animal crossing because it was good and I never really believed them. To me, I thought the game was boring given I usually play games like the Witcher or Warframe. Something that has a story line, action and boss battles. But I think this is a nice game when you just want to relax. You play this game at your pace and just create your island the way you want. Plus, it's super cute!

    It's like sims, but cute and it's your own island! you can visit friends island (once you're able to fly, you do need the Nintendo Online subscription to do so though) catch bugs, go fishing, design outfits, customize colors on furniture and equipment! many hours of fun at a time. It is based on real time though, so certain things you do and achieve, will not be recognized til the next day, minus that, fun fun times

    [Employee of bestbuy] I bought this game to play with my partner, and it has exceeded both our expectations. The returning characters, systems, and themes from previous entries elicit nostalgia, and the new gameplay elements add levels of complexity and freedom that are much appreciated.

    Purchased this game for my fiance for her birthday. She loves playing this game, especially in handheld mode. There’s an online community of millions of people who share tips on how to construct unique islands on youtube, reddit, blogs, etc. Recommend this game to anyone regardless of age!
