    I have always loved animal crossing, I highly recommend this game. So much thought has been put into it and it’s really evolved but not too drastically. It’s a cathartic and adorable game with sweet neighbors, fun tasks and awesome customizations of your island, home and even your wardrobe. I play with my 7yo who is just in love with this game, it’s good for passing time together. Five stars for sure.

    I always thought of animal crossing as a time waster; after seeing all the memes though, I felt compelled to play. The base game is fun and they've been doing monthly updates and events to keep the game fresh. The biggest draw back is that Tom Nook is always trying to swindle me out of my bells, but that's not even a real complaint. It's fun and has given me something to do during the quarentine.

    I'm having a blast! I have heard if you're sharing your island on a console with other players you can be extremely restricted, which is a bummer. Since I didn't want to share with my husband I dished out the money to get a second console. I can't tell you my perspective on sharing one, but I can say I love all the new features and customization options in New Horizons. For me it's been worth every penny!

    Fantastically calming game. Activities changes based on time of day and real world seasons. Lots of ways to be creative too. Would not have survived the 2020 lockdown without it. This is my second copy.

    During this madness happening in our world, I was scared that Best Buy would be closed, preventing me from getting my blessed Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Thankfully, they followed the CDC guidelines and only allowed 10 people in the store at a time. I was so pleased with employees at the Hixson, TN Best Buy! Definitely returning for future electronic / game purchases. Goodbye Amazon and GameStop!

    Last year for Christmas i purchased a ninetendo switch for my grandaughter, there weren't very many games that she found that she thought would be good so i only purchased two. This was a highly anticipated game that she coouldn't wait to own. It's suitable for her age which is 10, she's able to navigate through this game without any problems and she absouletly love it!

    The emphasis is on customization and decoration, so if you are the kind of person who likes to collect, personalize, and just relax with cute animal neighbors, you should definitely pick this up. The November 2021 update and DLC added a ton of new worthwhile content and features as well, but there is plenty to enjoy in the base game.

    Fun...played it for several months straight. It eventually turned into a bit of a grind but every game will feel that way eventually. Now I come back periodically for events. It's definitely a game worth having, even if you only play it on trips or in the bathroom. A fun, pretty, and simply game that often times feels more like therapy than a game. Just temper your expectations

    I’ve been a huge fan of the Animal Crossing series since I was a child playing the original on the GameCube. This game is a perfect addition to the series!! The customization is incredible, the gameplay feels very natural, and the overall game is flawless! It’s super easy to get lost in this game for hours! It’s definitely worth getting the Nintendo Online service too so that you can play with friends!

    If you want something to kill the time with and enjoy the tedious planning and organizing of a deserted island, this is the game for you. It makes things such as catching bugs, fishing, and digging up fossils exciting. This isn't a game that you beat and it is hard to play for more than an hour or two at a time. It's meant to be played a little each day, or every couple of days. Highly recommend!

    This game can be played in any number of ways. I personally enjoy and recommend playing at the game's pace and not "time traveling" to speed up the experience. This game isn't for everyone, but it is low stakes and therapeutic in it's repetition, yielding an experience very well suited to the current stay-at-home situation. You can play a little or a lot each day and have fun with it no matter what.

    Really fun game! A little text heavy so you need to understand what they’re asking for, but even my nephews who are very very little got the hang of it quite fast and I just helped them on the parts they couldn’t understand or had to read (they’re not in preschool yet). But it’s a great game and it’s very educational when it comes to plants, dinosaurs, and insects.
