Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've played animal crossing in my childhood on the DS so I was super excited to play this on the switch! I literally bought the switch to play this game and have been playing it every day since! It's super relaxing and I love being able to connect with my friends to play this. I get to visit all my favorite characters from the past and there are neat new additions like putting furniture on your island that makes it so much fun! Plus there are new holiday updates every so often so it never gets old!

This game is everything I hoped it would be. It's got fun/cute characters, calming music, wonderful atmosphere, and a whole lotta charm. If you're a fan of previous Animal Crossing games, or just looking for a good stress reliever, this game is 100% for you. Obviously this game looks so much better than any previous game in the series, and there is just so much to keep you busy. I can see myself playing this yet in a couple years. By far one of the best releases for Switch to date. I wholly recommend this game to anyone interested.

Awesome game! Fun for hours for kids or adults. A must have for the Switch! A*+

Great game. My 11 year old loves it. Easy to setup. My kid had no issues getting it started and playing.

Best switch game next to Breath of the Wild. It game is fun to play for all ages. Very cute graphics.

Love this game!!! Very relaxing. Lots of fun. Would definitely recommend.

I haven’t played Animal Crossing since New Leaf, but I used to play that religiously as a child. While this one is definitely different, I still really love it! Building your own island from the ground up is pretty cool! And it was released at the best time to allow me to really go all in. Stay safe and socially distance!

I've played the original Animal Crossing on the GameCube back in the day and probably lost over a full year of my life playing that one... Now this comes out and does everything right. They are always adding updates to the game to keep it interesting. There are times if you play ALL the time you may find yourself repeating a lot of tasks. My daughter loves it and has a really good time playing two player with me. Highly suggested if you enjoy simulator type games like SIMS, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Etc.

I had never played animal crossing in the past I was familiar with the franchise but it never interested me. After seeing a lot of people posting stuff online I decided to get the game, I've been hooked. I actually had to buy two copies because my six year old stole my first copy. Each system get one island layout. You decide where you are going to build houses and stores. You have many opportunities to do tasks to get the in game currency to build up your island. It's a simple mindless game with hours upon hours of play time.

I have played the Pocket Camp for a few years. This game is turning out to be just as fun.

Highly entertaining game! So much more involved than previous Animal Crossing games.

This game has all the classic features of animal crossing with new mechanics like crafting and terraforming. The customization of your island paradise is limitless. The game plays in real time, which can be frustrating to those not used to it. Some bugs/fish only become available during certain times and completion of buildings will make you wait until the following day irl. Despite these things, Animal Crossing: New Horizon is a wholesome and fulfilling game. Very down to Earth and casual, and now you can play with friends too!

Very fun game. Will keep you entertained for hours and hours. Plenty of stuff to do with new events always coming around in game

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

Best Investment I've made. Whole family plays everyday. My only disappointment is that the game only allows one island per Switch.

Played it over 150 hours. Almost had to quit because it was so addicting. Good thing, bad thing. Great graphics and lots to do.

I've never heard of Animal Crossing until my Instagram feed and twitter feed was full of screenshots of the game so I had to see what it was all about. I instant fell in love with the game. Very easy to play and I'm not a huge gamer myself. I even got my other friends to play too! (We are all in our late twenties lol) That's the thing about this game, it can be for anyone! Honestly, I would love to say so much about this incredible life changing game but I don't want to spoil the fun for the others! Highly recommend!

This game is a life simulator from doing everyday task to build your island from cutting down trees, fishing, upgrading your stores and getting people to live on you island. This game is slow paced but very rewarding when you put your time in your island. This game cannot be beat it needs to be taken 1 day at a time, i usually play about an hour a day maybe a bit more it depends on whats going on in my island. Its a fun life simulator can even be played with your friends that also have the game but its still good by yourself.

It is easy to relax and just have some fun, not matter what age you are.

I bought this game because there was so much hype around it. After I got it, I understood. Being able to fully customize and create your own island from scratch is very fun. Time passes so quickly when playing but you don’t even realize it because it is so fun. In the first week of having animal crossing I had 70 hours of play time. I didn’t even think I was playing that long. Finding your dream villagers, playing with friends and seeing others islands are what makes the game as great as it is. It is just so cute too.
