Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have put in over 100 hours and they keep releasing more and more content this summer. Very fun to play with your kids where they can fish, swim, catch bugs, and buy clothes/furniture. There is always a lot of things to do. Highly recommended.

Very cute game! Fun to play solo or with friends. Works well on tbe full switch and the lite version

With the inevitable shipping delays because of the global pandemic, I actually wasn't sure if I'd get the physical version of this game. I'm extremely grateful to USPS for getting the physical copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons to me despite all of the difficulties in doing deliveries at this time. Shipping aside, in terms of the actual game itself, I had a feeling I'd enjoy it because I've been playing Pocket Camp (the mobile app Animal Crossing game) for quite some time now. I will say though I did worry a little about whether I'd get bored of the game quickly. However, this game is the perfect thing to play during this time of social distancing and quarantine. I've had lots of fun visiting my friends' islands and hosting friends on my island as well. Not to mention the fishing, bug catching, and customization that you have the capacity to engage with.

Shipped just in time. Haven’t put this game down since. Please note that their is only ONE island per Switch console. Anyone who isn’t the first player, will have to take a seat to all the jobs you’re given. Like choosing animal house locations, and etc.

This is the first console version of Animal Cross we have bought, and it has been spectacular. The ability to switch between console and mobile play makes playing this a non-stop endeavor... there is so much to see and do, new things to create and explore. It feeds new goals and updates at an even pace and even introduces limits to logically stop playing when appropriate, because you can total obsess. The whole family loves playing and each has their own section of the island to maintain and design. If you own a Switch, you should own this guilty pleasure... it may look 'cartoony' but the depth and detail is anything but. Strategy, planning, budgeting, it all comes into play for kids to learn... even the concept exchange using turnips. For adults its a fun getaway though... give everything its own look and feel, and make it reflect who and what you are.

A cute cozy game that any age will enjoy. Just beware of the spiders at night.

This is by far my favorite game in the whole Animal Crossing series. The graphics in this great are so good compared to the most recent release and the story components are great. It does suck that you can't have more than 1 island per console though.

Amazing game! The crafting aspect adds a nice addition to the Animal Crossing franchise, and isn't that hard to use. Whether your a newcomer or a veteran of this game, you'll love it. Your first day is a little slow, but it gets better as time goes on.

I have loved the animal crossing series for a long time now and this game does not disappoint! it's a little slow during the first few days but it's super addicting and fun. The game is heavily creative based if you're into that then this is a must!

If you never played or have played multiple versions of animal crossing this is for you. Fun enjoyable game that you can play by yourself or with friends. Kid friendly but also great for adults. Will make you made at times but overall very wholesome.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? This game is way better than it's predecessor, New Leaf for the DS. It has better graphics, more upgrades, more customization, crafting, more items, and just more potential to interact with the Animal Crossing community. This is my most played game on my switch (or any other console!)...and I play Skyrim and the Witcher 3 quite often. This game saved this year for me...most people will be remembering 2020 as the year COVID ruined peoples lives, but I will choose to remember it as the year that Animal Crossing helped me escape COVID-19 by relocating to a deserted island getaway where I could interact with my villagers and friends (Nintendo Online) without the fear of the pandemic. Thank you, Nintendo. Please make more Animal Crossing games!

Love this game, relaxing, go at your own pace type game, very slice of life. Not suitable for those whom are impatient unless you want to work on that. You live on an island and talk/help your animal neighbors. You decorate everything (island and house however you want(including your little avatar person in the game) it’s basically about taking care of something all your own, there’s in game tasks every day if you care to do them but other than that there’s no objective, the in game weather/holidays reflect real life, there is a multiplayer aspect if you want to invite other people whom also have a switch/switch lite and the game to come to each other’s island and hang out/take pictures/trade items. That’s pretty much it. Been playing every new form of this game since the very first one on game cube, I think it’s a lovely sweet game for any age.

Animal Crossing is my first experience with an Animal Crossing game the game is very simple but that does not mean it is bare in content. The game starts off slow but it's a great way to keep you engaged in that every little thing you do is rewarding. Picking weeds on your first day to make your island clean can get you gold and "nook miles" ingame bonus currency. there is a nice simple crafting system that once you get far enough will let you build your own furniture. The game offers a great deal of customization if that is what you enjoy or if you just want to go and fish and catch bugs for money you can always do that. There are few things that can be annoying - such as the slow text and having to individually craft the same item 10 times rather than a bulk craft but these are minor frustration that I wouldn't let ruin the overall experience.

Great game to play while quarantined. Fun to play with friends from far away. It sucks you into its web and never lets go. If you need something to dive into while stuck at home, look no further. The best way I can describe this game is "it's the electronic equivalent of knitting a sweater." You find yourself grinding to complete something that you're not even sure of and at the end, you have something you can be proud of (even if no one else thinks so). You can learn a lot about yourself (and others you choose to play ACNH with) as your type of play will reveal what you value in real life. I know this sounds crazy but it's true. Over time, you realize more about yourself and you may even find yourself appreciating the small things back in real life. Give it a shot, let yourself settle in. Find someone (or a community) to play with.

My mother in law retired recently. (Right at the beginning of the pandemic) I'd been talking to her about finding other hobbies aside from puzzles and let me tell you she is in her mid 60s and has been playing and enjoying this game along with a 2 other seniors for years now. Don't ben intimidated by the game. It takes time but when you learn it, you will have a blast. No win or lose in this game, just relax, build a house, catch fish, collect, help other villagers, become an interior decorator, visit a museum, chop wood, mine iron, craft with your resources, cook, etc. You just have to get it in your hands to understand why this game is fantastic.

The disc box really fansy. This game really great. You’ve had a lot thing to do even you play it alone. Imagine playing it with you friend, there’re even a lot whole things you can do. It’s a funny game for this terrified pandemic time.

[Employee of bestbuy] Awesome game. Fun for anyone no matter what age. Highly reccomend

Got this for my daughter before the lockdown. It’s been a life saver. She has so much fun playing it and exploring her island. Many opportunities for creativity and learning to wait as sometimes things you buy aren’t available until the next day.

This is a really great game for kids just getting started with Switch.

This game is a gem, and has been released at precisely the time when it was needed most. Nintendo's newest release in the franchise, fans have been very excited. When the game was released in March, stores had to cancel release parties because of COVID-19. The game delivered on the hype, mostly by staying true to the original format. You begin the game arriving on an island with a few others. Nook, a business savvy raccoon, soon reveals that your flight, meals, tent and land will require payment! But not to worry, instead of paying in cold hard Bells (the game's currency), you can pay with Nook Miles - his own personal reward-point system. This sets the stage for an economic relationship between you and his family that allows you to grow your home from a tent to a three-story mansion. The game is worth every bell, err, penny!
