    Both my six year old son and I love playing this game. It’s perfect for any age, very entertaining, and perfect for unwinding or killing time. I highly recommend this game.

    With the COVID-19, I decided to play animal crossing for first time. Oh boy, you will be stuck in the dream land with lots of thing to do and collect. If you own Switch (it is really hard to get now) and like Minecraft games, You definitely should play this!. I am hook and can't think of it everyday!

    Bought this for my kids, but ended up being cannibalized by the wife in terms of playing time. The graphics are good for a SIM game, and the island theme is a big plus since that's what we're into vacation wise. If you can't travel, might as well pretend you're on an island with this game.

    This is the best game in the entire world. I am 22 years old and I’ve been playing animal crossing since it was on the game cube. I literally begged my dad for a switch just so I could play this game. I’m so obsessed. I love it so much. Best $60 I’ve ever spent. For sure. Get it. You’ll be addicted

    Easily my favorite game on the switch! Animal Crossing is one of the most relaxing, easy-going games I’ve played. It’s so fun to just build your island and watch it grow into something beautiful, and I love how many customization options there are for the characters and the in-game items.

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is beautiful, charming, and packed with reasons to keep coming back. You'll spend hundreds of hours collecting fish, bugs, and bells (to purchase items), visiting with your neighbors, and perfecting your slice of paradise. It is a mindless yet rewarding escape.

    Really haven’t had a chance to delve to much into this because my daughter can’t stop playing. If you’ve enjoyed any of the previous Animal Crossing games you’ll enjoy this. The only downside is one island per Switch. Since my daughter set it up first I can’t differentiate from what she has accomplished

    Was looking for New Horizons for my nephew to spend the time while locked up at home with COVID. Everywhere was sold out or overpriced but Best Buy thankfully had one in stock for purchase. My nephew is now having so much fun, and it's a struggle to actually get my nephew to take a break from the game.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fantastic game. Very calming to play and it’s so fun. Collecting everything and making this island exactly what I want it to be is the best thing ever. It is a little slow to start due to the games mechanics but for those that it might bother, there is a way around that.

    Great low stakes and peaceful game. Besides the obvious annoying fact that you only get one island its fun and great for the family. Some minor things that would make the game better: ability to go into the water on the island (swimming, wading in the water, threading). I feel like it would be more realistic if you could go into the water. Also, the ability to jump on command would be nice. The view of avatar seems a bit limited especially when your view is blocked by a tree. None of these things would keep me from buying the game. Probably my favorite game on the switch and worth every penny.

    I never got too hooked into an Animal Crossing game before, but after watching several videos I decided to get it and absolutely did not regret it. I was surprised to find when an hour went by when I had not done much in the game, but because it was so enjoyable I could spend hours on it without knowing.

    Although there were some features that have been released a bit later that should of been in the game, the game is just awesome. I would have reviewed this near release but I was too hooked on the game forgot about the reviews. Highly recommend to those who just want a simple game to just kick back.

    This is probably the second best animal crossing game i have played. great features are being able to live in 1 town with your family and play together, loads of things to do, and they fixed things like running around doesn't destroy the grass after time. some cons are no split screen with multiple players, and compared to the 3ds version i liked when all the shops were on a different street instead of taking up space in your town. Also, there are things missing but they might be added to the game in upcoming patches, Mini games you can play with others would be my number one priority i hope it will be added in.

    All I can say is my husband should have never bought me this game. It’s addicting (: best game purchase ever! Keeps you busy for hours. I like how you can’t lose items like in Star Dew, but it’s set in real time which is sometimes frustrating if you want an at your own pace game and not a day by day game.

    My girlfriend is hooked! Her friends started playing this and recommended it to her. I bought her a copy so she can try it out. She has been hooked on this game since the day she started playing. She seems to be well entertained and enjoying it, I'm very happy with this purchase!

    This is my first game from the Animal Crossing franchise and I absolutely love it! The freedom of customization is endless. I got this game on the physical release day and I’ve got 400+ hours on it. I never get tired of it and it’s definitely helped me during this quarantine! Definitely recommend it!!
