Customer Ratings & Reviews

Animal Crossing has always been a phenomenal creation and I'll always buy the newest versions. As with all previous Animal Crossing games, this one does come with it's small frustrations like: NPCs talking in excess when you just want to select something and move on, menus adding unnecessary questions to lengthen the process, islanders making you talk to them 2 & 3 times before sending you on a mission, items in bags aren't easily identified as specific colors, etc. None of the little issues are enough to deter me from this game.

Animal crossing is great fun if you are not in a hurry. Since the game moves in real time, it can be slow at first, and with social media, it can be hard to not compare your progress with others. If you can just enjoy your island and not get caught up in that, it is relaxing. The only two issues are NPCs are so talkative that transactions are clunky, so repetitive ones are downright annoying and some controls could certainly be better for a modern game. Both of those I think are trying to use the excuse of "dont rush" to make them ok.

I have loved animal crossing since I had my very first Nintendo ds when the game came out. This island version is super fun and really still reminds you of the original just in a different world. I also love that you’re able to play online with friends or with current members local or not. 5 stars! It’s always fun.

This is a fun game, kind of reminds me of Stardew Valley. Tons of stuff to read to understand what to do, but overall I like it.

I didn't play previous version of this game, but I love this one! It's easy for everyone, and a lot to do in game, so you won't get bored!

The first Animal Crossing I played was the original one on Gamecube back when it came out and I enjoyed it for what it was. Same with the Wii version. I thought at this point in my life I had "out-grown" the series and I wouldn't get much enjoyment out of it, but boy was I wrong. This is easily the best game in the series and the sense of progression you get from visiting the island every day and slowly building it up to what you want it to be is a blast. I know I'll continue to play it for the months, and possibly even years, to come.

The game play is good and it enhances the creativity of a person. Relaxing and soothing background music and it interacts with the nature.

I love this game. It’s so fun and you get to start off on your own island and make it your own! Very amusing and a great way to be creative.

I was able to pick it up at my local Best Buy after pre ordering. We are just getting started with it but so far my son and I are really enjoying it. Got to by pass all the reviews of others unhappy about the digital download and focus on the reviews of the actually game itself. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

My first real entry into the series and I have to say that I'm glad I dipped my toes into the franchise. You can do as little or as much as you want in this game where you basically make up whatever objectives you want. There's a couple things the game wants you to do but ultimately you're left to do what you want for the most part. The latest edition to the series of games doesn't fail to deliver in my opinion, I can now see why so many people like these games. Reminds of the sims in many ways that I would play when I was younger!

My daughter loves this game. Not much to it but very easy to pick up and play if you are looking for a game to relax and play.

I am a newcomer myself to the Animal Crossing series. This has been such an amazing experience during these trying times. I have yet to fully explore everything this game has to offer but I am excited nonetheless. Consider purchasing this game if you want a more relaxed approach to video games. There is always something to do, you will have to take this game one day at a time. No need to rush, the anticipation of finding new treasures is a wonderful experience. I hope you enjoy this beautifully crafted game and I bid you a farewell.

This was the first Animal Crossing game I have ever experienced and I am glad that I bought it. This is the type of game to just sit back with and relax and allow your troubles to melt away. There are a lot of fun things to do as far as building your village, home, and collecting bugs, fossils, and fish in order to expand your museum. I have put over 150 hours into this game and I always come back to it from time to time.

This game is amazing and it’s the best game for the Nintendo Switch. It’s definitely addictive and it was released at the right time.

It's unfortunate I didn't get this game on release date even if I bought it in advance because of the lockdowns. Anyway, I received it a couple of days after and I have been playing it on the daily ever since. This game has been my friend and probably the only thing I look forward to everyday (a bit of an exaggeration, but y'know). Been an AC villager since City Folk, got hooked on New Leaf, put a dent on my bank account (like actual money) with Pocket Camp, and so very thankful for New Horizons. AC for life, my mans.

Such a fun game and easy way to waste hours of your life. You can Get really creative or not at all it's really up to you. Great game!

Second time buying the game, while they aren’t adding anymore new content as of this review the game is still enjoyable to boot up and play. They’ve release a plethora of DLCs for it over the first couple of years, and with the uniqueness of the game and how you can personalize every little detail it’s hard not to become invested.

I've been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube, so it's cool to see it out again with more awesome features. My kids love it as well.

This is one of my favorite switch games. I can literally spend hours playing it. I like being able to have the ability to have my island set up how I want it and also be able to have where I want trees and flowers. Also, being able to terraform and make my island different is also fun! If you do not own this game, you need to. Also, it’s fun to be able to play with friends on online play or if you have someone close by you that also has the game on the switch, you can play local play as well. It’s fun for the whole family!

Fun game with plenty of things to do and discover. The details and graphics are stunning; the characters cute and amusing. This game brings out one's creative side in developing an island community. Give and receive little gifts, design and furnish your own home/landscaping as well as those of the other inhabitants, collect resources needed for crafting tools, furnishings and fashion accessories, achieve goals. Well worth the money. If you are looking for a relaxing game to escape into, this is one of the best.
