Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great addition to the animal crossing series with new additions that makes this game even more addicting than the series already was. There are no longer daily tasks that are one and done. Instead the tasks are unlimited, once you complete one of five, another appears. There are new creatures not seen in the series before, too, along with new ways to explore that are always randomized. Overall its a great experience for all ages.

I love this game, but it holds the title of being the pandemic game to me. At the time, we couldn't go to the store without fear of getting sick. Couldn't go to the movies. Couldn't go anywhere. We turned to games and if you were lucky enough - you got this game right before everything started to close down. I'll be honest, I haven't played this game since those times. I feel like I'll get flashbacks, but the real reason I haven't played it since then - I got bored. Don't get me wrong, still a game and definitely worth the price. If you have little ones, this is a great distraction game. The game play is simple and enjoyable by all ages. Being a middle aged man, I enjoyed it every weekend for about 2 months before I pretty much stopped playing it all together. There is no challenging game play here and the play seems to crawl to a snails pace at times. Characters are fun to interact with and the support from Nintendo on this game makes it well worth the buy. My only make a break complaint on this game? Main gameplay has to be tied to 1 account. Meaning if your kid starts an island up, your character's progression is tied to how far they can get. You'll find yourself playing as your kid's (or significant other's) character just to progress through the story and unlock everything in the core game. If you want a good relaxing game - get this. You won't be disappointed!

I have never played animal crossing before and I purchased this partially due to the hype and partially due to my love of MySims DS. The mechanics can be mildly frustrating at times but once you get the hang of it and unlock different tools it plays well. I’ve already logged over 100 hours (when I should have been studying for my classes). The main downside for me is not being able to transfer save data to a new console since my ACNH Switch got here a couple weeks after my game. I had to restart altogether. The one island per console thing sucks but I loved it so much that I bought my girlfriend a switch and the game so we could play together. Not that it is practical for most people. The multiplayer is sorta playable.

Came in fast. We have had zero ossue with the game.

We bought as gift for the grandkids, but it’s become an addictive family game and costing nights of lost sleep! Mom & Dad (37 & 44) play w kids 11, 7 & 4 — and the n’hood tweens come over to play! It captures everyone & the competition goes on with who has the best house, who has more stuff, who scored the most — & these are just the conversations in the car, after school or at dinner w the game turned off! I’ve never given anything that captured THIS much of Family time! We bought 2 more pro controllers (better for the 10 & olders). This game has so many levels & ways and to compete that it does not grow old. They have 3 games & this vm is their fav, hands down.

This game came out not too long ago and at first I was skeptical of getting it as I have never played into an Animal Crossing before. Seeing the growing popularity of this new title in the series and the massive amount of positive reviews I chose to purchase this and after playing for a week or so I can say that I’m happy with my purchase. Aesthetically this game is perfect from the visual animation style to the gentle calm music. The gameplay is more slower paced but it makes everything you do in the end feel more impactful and rewarding in the long run. If that’s not your style then I don’t recommend getting this game especially if you’re mostly used to FPS shooters or games that are more faster paced.

Animal Crossing is what's known as a Sandbox game. Meaning you do what you want at your own pace. You can tend to your island, collect furniture to deck out your house, collect bugs/fish/fossils and a whole lot more. The scenery and activities you can do change daily with even more drastic changes coming each month, so there's always going to be something for you to discover. You can even sink hours into making designs to personalize your house, island, or clothes. There is just so much to do in this game. It's slow paced and fun. Just a high quality title by Nintendo. There's a reason this game is a smash hit. You will not be disappointment picking this up. People of any age or skill level will be able to enjoy it.

I’m not a gamer but I’m really enjoying this game. The controls are easy, no crazy combinations of buttons to perform something. You land on this not-exactly-deserted deserted island and build your life. You collect things: weeds, rocks, oranges, sticks and you can either sell them for money to buy things or you can craft things. Like a fishing pole from sticks. You can garden or sit on the beach or trade in your tent for a cabin, then decorate it. The music is relaxing, the pace is relaxing, and the other people and critters on the island are friendly and helpful. I know it doesn’t sound like much but it’s a great way to chill at the end of the day

This game is great! I got so addicted to playing this game during quarantine. I logged so many hours into it. Even if you’ve never played any of the old games you definitely should give this one a try.

Animal Crossing is a delightful escape into a charming virtual world. The cute characters, relaxing gameplay, and endless customization options make it a must-play. Whether you're fishing by the river, designing your dream home, or just enjoying the whimsical atmosphere, Animal Crossing offers a heartwarming and enjoyable experience for players of all ages."

Animal Crossing is so addicting. The goal of the game is built a community you would want to live in. You will need to water your plants, gather supplies, even invite other characters to move in. Even my young nephews enjoy playing this game.

Before you say that you can’t use online or whatever to talk to friends etc. yeah it’s because you need Nintendo online which sucks even though you paid a good amount of money on a game. But honestly, Nintendo online isn’t that expensive. It’s worth the price depending on how long you want your membership. Back to the game, it’s fun to play during these times. FYI only one person/player can play this game, regardless if you have others registered into the switch. If the main person/player plays the game and another person/player wants to to play it with their account, it will take it as if the main person who owns the switch is theirs. Other than that, it’s a great game and I’ve had it for a month.

My kids love this game! They play together so nicely for a long time and have helped each other design their worlds. It is great they can relate to each other and enjoy each other's company!

I bought this game for myself as an early Christmas present. I truly enjoy how relaxing this game is. I didn't believe others when they said that this game is relaxing to play, but it truly is. I would highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for a leisure game to play that is not overly complicated and you are not rushing to complete difficult and time-consuming tasks. I wish I had this game for the DS when I was playing that system. The game is a little pricy but is worth every penny. I bought this particular game at the same time I bought the system. I knew this needed to be the first game I play on it. I am glad I did not skip over purchasing this game.

This newest Animal Crossing is everything the previous games had and more! I was surprised on how you can customize your town and craft things like furniture and bridges, for example. A lot of new things to keep my family and I logging in! My only piece of advice is to make sure whoever the 1st player you create is, make sure that person plays consistently because they will become the town representative and has more capabilities than other players. I found we can only advance in the town with player 1 doing most of the work (building the museum and Nook's Cranny and preparing houses for new neighbors to move in are dependent on player 1) I hope AC can fix the capabilities with this so all players can do things.

Makes quarantine more tolerable. Super fun, colorful with great graphics, essy to play. Grid system was a little confusing at first, kept missing with my shovel, but you figure it out. Highly recommended!

ACNH was my very first AC game to play and its great for first timers who are new to Animal Crossing. This game came in clutch during the lockdowns we had during 2020 and I had already pre-ordered this game so I was very much invested into it. Its a very casual game to play anytime/anywhere, there's so much to do and so much you can invent and design on your own! Its great for all ages, young and old to enjoy this game. I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy character and world customization. The soundtrack is also very soothing and therapeutic for the gameplay.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is such a beautiful and great game. Living on an island is a great experience. Building new places, meeting new villagers, buying new objects, it's a great casual experience.

I recently purchased this game for my son. After watching him play it I decided to purchase one for me and my daughter. We all have our own island which makes the gaming experience even more fun as we visit and gift each other often. I throughly enjoy playing this game and do so daily. My villagers are hilarious. I don’t normally screenshot when playing games but I often do, as the dialogue is cute and funny. I have only had this game for a short period and I can honestly say I played this one more so than Zelda and Mario, and I love Mario. This game has become one of my favorites, that I even purchased the bell bag as a keepsake! I think this is a great game and is definitely worth the purchase.

I love animal crossing! I never have played the other games, so New Horizons was kind of my intro to the world of AC. It is an amazing game! It is very unique in terms of the gameplay, where it is based in real-time, not game time. Animal Crossing New Horizons has become an addiction, and thanks to quarantine I have been able to play it more. The villagers and characters are loveable and so so cute! I have played it for almost a month now and I am still involved and I still enjoy it! However, I don't nearly spend as much time there anymore. (15-30 mins a day now?) I feel like it is a wonderful game but once you finish your island I think it is fun to restart and rebuild the island once again!
