Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is...THEE best game ever. I am humble enough to admit that I don't play video games but this...this is art. Not only does it belong in MoMA (the Museum of Modern Art), but it also belongs in everyone's homes. The video game execs were on galaxy brain mode way back in 2001 when they came up with this one boys. Seriously though buy it. In times like these it truly is a source of pure, wholesome entertainment. 69/10 recommended, great game.

Great for casual gaming! Lots of different things to do on the island!

I had people telling me for so long to try this game, but the cover just looked so childish to me and almost like those games that have timers on it till you can do anything. But then I played it and now I'm addicted. It is so much more! Open world, lots of activities to do freely, and you can customize everything and make it your own world based on your personality.

Fun to play and to visit friends islands! Game has so much free content with changing seasons

If you wished for more customization and control of your towns then you'll love the island they give you to make your own. It takes a few real life days of play in order to unlock all the customization options, but after that you can really make your island town look exactly how you want it to be. The collectible aspect of bugs, clothes etc. is still there, but the full customization you're allowed is what makes with one the best yet IMO.

I played Animal Crossing: New Leaf for over 2 years, so I knew what the Animal Crossing formula meant as far as gameplay. While I did enjoy New Horizons, it didn't hold my attention nearly as much as it's predecessor. I'm not sure if this is due to lack of content or too much content. The game has lost several NPCs and stores to interact with from New Leaf. At the same time, it throws in busy work with crafting and growing food. So, missing some things from New Leaf while throwing new things in the mix. It's a good game for those who know that this is a game to play a little each day - not for multi-hour play sessions. I just with we hadn't lost some of the charm of the old while adding in the new.

I bought the Nitendo switch, didn't know about any games my daughters told me to buy this game. Im sure glad I did because I have been hooked on this game , its so bad that my daughter and I always try to beat each other in playing it . I always lose because when I get home from work she's already playing it. That should et you know how addicting this game is. I totally recommend it.

Such a fun and relaxing game I highly recommend if you want something easy yet fun to play

While I did purchase this, my wife has been the one to play it on the Nintendo Switch lite we also bought at the same time to play with our daughter on her regular Nintendo Switch. Now a couple of weeks in, they both are avidly playing this and even communicating with relatives living in other countries via the Nintendo family plan. Well worth the price and I hope to be able to play regularly one day also.

Excellent Free Time experience! Easy to understand & exercise your imagination! A+ Quality

This game is a really great addition to the series but there are a few things that could be improved. Multiplayer is lacking in activities compared to Animal Crossing New Leaf and crafting multiples of the same item (fish bait) can be tedious because you have to do one at a time. If they improved multiplayer and added an option to craft multiple items at once I would have no complaints. Overall this game was definitely worth the purchase!

I have played and loved all of the previous animal crossing games (except the gamecube one which i have never gotten my hands on) - and this game is far by the best! They have made so many quality of life improvements and the graphics are so lovely. Customization is available at each and every turn and it really lets you make your island your own. I really love it and it has helped me and my friends stay connected during quarantine. <3

I got this game right during the COVID-19 locked down. Super addictive. Sold out everywhere. Let me tell you this, I can not wait the next day and play naturally so I have to skip the day and play the game faster. So yes, I cheated so that I can enjoy the game faster. I love this game and you will love this game. I am 27 years old and a little child and up can play Animal Crossing. This game is a great game to kill time.

I'm not a video game person. Honestly the last game I played was on a gameboy back when I was in the 1st grade. The games now kind of stress me out with all the shooting and punching and constant pop out scares, but this game is different. It's relaxing and fun and super addicting. I've played every day for at least an hour since I got it. Not to mention everything is absolutely adorable. I don't know anyone who wouldn't like this game.

I bought this game so that me and my little sister could play along with our friends, and to escape everything happening in the world for a bit. It definitely keeps us busy, and the ability to work together on the same island and leave each other presents and messages in the mail, as well as work together to design our island is honestly the best fun. I absolutely recommend this game to anyone who is thinking about purchasing it.

This game has kept me sane during many, many hours of staying at home to social distance during the Coronavirus pandemic. How many hours? Somewhere around 250 so far. My biggest complaint is that I wish there were a more interactive multiplayer component so you could, for instance, play pool with a friend if you bought a pool table in-game. Still, overall it's hard to argue with a game that has given me that much play time.

I have never played an Animal Crossing game before and I can’t believe I’ve missed out for so long. I can’t put it down. If you would have told me before March 20th that I would spend evenings on a virtual island with other players while watching a meteor shower, I would have laughed until I passed out. Now, while I’m at work I can’t wait to get back to my island. You deserve something nice. This is that nice thing. Treat yourself.

Amazing game, second purchase, you wont go bored!!

I haven't played AC since the original one for gamecube but man I've had a blast with this every day. It's definitely a slow burn game where I only play 30 min to an hour each day to do my daily activities and then I'm done for the day. It's really charming and simple and in game events and holidays are really fun to participate in. I highly recommend for kids or people who just like simple daily sim games.

Best switch game to buy you can play this game for a long time and never get bored ton of content too
