    I purchased this game to be able to play with my daughter and go visit her island as she has her own Switch and game. OMG I haven’t been able to stop playing to the point I have passed my daughter’s progress. LOL she keeps telling me I am addicted to this game. I guess that’s true:-)

    This is going to be my second Animal Crossing game. The amount of things they added in the game was unbelievable. I don’t want to state what it is, as it can spoil some gameplay to people. I would recommend this as during quarantine times, you have something to look forward the next day.

    You could get lost for hours in this game. Definitely a good purchase for those that enjoy games like sims. My sons love this game, I had to buy two so they wouldn't argue, and then bought anotger switch and game for myself because of this game!

    it is one of the greatest game that i got. I can't stop playing with it. You can have a family in the same island, but have to take turn and login to different account to play, can't play together. You can go visit friends. Great game to stay connect with friend during the pandamic.

    If you've never played a game in the series, New Horizons is a great start. On the other hand, if you are already familiar with Animal Crossing, you will find a good amount of nostalgia but also pleasant little news, which will make this new adventure worthy of being lived day by day.

    Bought this game for my wife. At first this game did not look interesting at all to me, but after seeing my wife play it for a while i fell in love with it. I dont even let her play anymore. Great game, lots of things to do, and having people to play with makes this game even better.

    Caution.... this game is highly addictive! I deticated 3 months straight playing this and realized it was taking over my life! It’s so fun especially online! I definelty recommend finding groups on facebook and you can go to a lot of people’s island and getting new things!

    I am a pretty avid gamer, but my fiance is not so much. She is a HUGE fan of Animal Crossing and this has been the only game we play nowadays. This game has really allowed us to chill out like we are right on the island! We also enjoy being on the same island and working on it together.

    I bought a copy for my niece, and got addicted on her island, so I had to buy a copy for myself. It's such a chill and fun game, even for players who haven't played the previous Animal Crossing series. I recommend it to every one! I wish it was possible to have two islands on a console.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best video games available for Nintendo Switch in my opinion. It’s incredibly fun to have your very own island town grow and improve and make it look the way you want with family and friends.

    My daughter stays busy playing this game and thoroughly enjoys fishing and growing plants. The clock follows real time therefore the sun sets outside ,same happens in the game. Just watch out for the wasps in the trees...lol. Overall a very fun game providing hours entertainment!!

    Lots of fun, but not for sharing

    There's lots of fun things to do in the game and it's wonderful as a single player experience, but not so much if you have multiple kids. You can only create one island per Console. Each child cannot create their own island unless they have their own Switch and another copy of the game. Once an island is created all children share it, they don't start fresh with their own experience. With multiple players, one is always the leader, the others are limited in what they can do. e.g. The leader can enter buildings. Overall, great for just one player.

    solid AC game but not best in series

    this is the Switch's (probably only) entry with the Animal Crossing series. it is a simulation that pushes the user to play daily until an "end" is reached. it is basically a grind from day one. some may feel this is not the game for them and it is fine. others may love it because of the serenity. no matter what, this entry is worth owning but many will drop out within 2 months. the main issue is the grind needed to get bells (money) to pay off this and obtain that. past AC games have this mechanic but to me, were more fun. this time around, it felt like a chore.

    This is such an adorable and fun game! It was sold out everywhere so I was excited when BestBuy got some in! I placed my order and I was in my hands just a couple days later, talk about fast shipping! So glad I was able to get this game, I highly recommend it to everyone of all ages!

    Having owned the original Animal Crossing on the GameCube, this version is a really great evolution of the series with much more to do, buy, design, and create. Having a really fun time with it so far!

    Huge fan of the previous animal crossing games with the exception of home designer. This game has everything and just looks beautiful. Fish look so real. The only thing I didn’t like were the temporary tools and having to rebuild or buy another one but ive come around to understand it.

    So I was supposed to receive this during release day, but it never got delivered to my address. Reached out to Best Buy and they immediately shipped out a replacement copy. They were quick to respond and accommodated for the carrier's mistake. Their help line's call back feature was super convenient as well. Instead of being put on hold for forever. They'll call you back when you're next in line. The game itself is great! If you're a fan of the previous Animal Crossing series then this will feel much more polished! Great getaway for the challenging times we're currently in
