Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me just say I never thought I would like this game, I’m 19 in college, but from the moment I just sat down with it and let the game play itself I understood the joy of its slow paced nature. Building a unique town has been so fun. Kids will love it, adults will love it, this game knows no age limits!

Bought this game for my wife as it seemed to have a near cult following by the ladies. Didn't disappoint, she loves it. Even has our daughter and Grandma in on it. I have no idea what it is, looks... like not for me is what it looks like, but those girls love it!

Great game would recommend to everyone who has a switch

This is a super relaxing and fun game, especially while quarantining! It is definitely one of the best games of 2020. I love all the DIYs and the graphics are superb. The only downside is in order to play online with others, you do need to purchase the Nintendo membership. I highly recommend to everyone - you will not regret it.

I have three boys, two that are 13, and one that is almost 4. They LOVE THIS! I hadn't heard of Animal Crossing but thought it was "cute" and when I brought it home my two older ones were super excited! They are teaching the youngest and they all absolutely love this game!

Preordered this game and I did not regret it. No bugs or glitches in the game as everything runs very smoothly. There is a ton to do in this game and is a great game to just play and relax with after work or a long day. Loading times can be a bit long especially when you start the game up, but not a dealbreaker at all.

Such a wonderful and adorable game. I have spent hours working on my island. There is never a dull moment with the villagers. Extremely fun to play with others through the use of online play. There are endless possibilities that could be made into your island. The updates bring so many new and fun activities.

I can't believe the amount of content and customization there is in this game! This is my first animal crossing game and I am so happy and grateful I was able to pick this up at my local Best Buy. Great purchase and tons of hours of content in collecting, customizing and exploring other islands! A must buy for any switch owner.

Gameplay is very much like previous AC titles and is of course fun if you enjoyed those. The graphics are perfectly suited for the style AC has and while some of the features like using Amiibo cards to invite animals requires some time investment, it's there and functional. I've been playing about a week and haven't unlocked it but I'm also not playing a ton of hours every day in addition to it being time-gated by way of needing to build certain things which take time themselves. The controls are OK. Could be better but then most games' controls could be better. Certain dialogue is needlessly redundant and asks you to confirm things multiple times in a row that even if you messed up wouldn't cost you anything. Multiplayer is functional, rarely had any interruptions and they were due to someone's console going to sleep or something like that rather than the game's framework itself. My main gripe with multiplayer is just how long it takes for people to enter and exit islands. You have to wait a good 30 seconds for someone to join and about 10 for someone to leave, and it happens for EACH person EVERY time. It disables everyone on the island from doing anything in this time and you have to close any dialog you have open such as inventory just for the game to even let the person start the process of joining. If you do not, it will tell them there's "interference" until you do. Sub-gripe would be that you can't really do much with your stuff while people visit. You can't view item lists for building new villager houses, etc. You can't donate things to the museum. You can't drag/move around anything, even simple things like a chair. You can't place anything fresh. You CAN drop certain items for people to pick up. All that said, there were some needless changes to the English version from the other versions of the game that are purely for political reasons so I have to knock it an extra star. I wish I had known before buying it as I would have waited and bought it used instead. There were no Best Buy return avenues available for me since the game was opened by the time I knew about it. In summary: If you like AC and don't mind the gripes I said and needless political meddling, you'll probably like this game. If you DO mind said griped or meddling, then I would recommend against getting it.

This game has been a lifesaver during quarantine. With tasks you want to complete everyday plus the recent update keeps the game fun and interesting! You get to let your creative side come out with all the fun ways you can do up your island. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys games that are relaxing and fun!

Love this game! The whole family enjoys playing this game together

Ive loved this game since it was first released on the Wii. Its so much fun and also such a chill and calming game. I will always be a fan of this one!!!

This is, without a doubt, the best life sim on the Switch. If you're looking for a game that you can use as an excuse to just relax for a few minutes every day--or micro-manage for hours on end--this is just for you! There is nothing I can add to this game that hasn't been said by millions of other satisfied owners!

Followed the trend and bought this game after the hype died down a bit but I understand now why everyone loves it so much. It became addictive and I had to play every single day. After some time you finish the game and just work towards growing your house and collecting items. Still fun though.

Me and my girlfriend love playing this game and helping eachother out with gathering resources!

Played for a little over a month, and this was my first animal crossing. This is the first game that I've wanted to play each and every day ever. I just finally unlocked terraforming, and it feels like an entirely new game. They just added a whole new art section to the museum, and have events all the time. I highly recommend.

This game has been great ever since quarantine began. It’s super relaxing to play, for all ages honestly even older people love this ! It’s for anyone and I recommend highly if you loved the animal crossing games in the past, this one is incredible ! You can play this game for a very long time so much to do overall. 5/5 stars !

I love this game .This is refreshing and relaxing when I take a break from Fortnite game and emerge from the adventure -like in different island such as changing new gear for swimming . This is more smooth and less boring from animal crossing 1. This keep me away from intense shooting and search of on line game. Love it.

This game is so fun. Keeps my children entertained.

I love this game. Learn how to craft different items for your house, for others, and you. Get to explore your own island and fly to other islands that are playing the same game. Life is an adventure.
