Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's one of the most relaxing, friendly game series there is, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons ($59.99) for the Nintendo Switch is no different. It adds some new features like crafting to the mix, but it still offers the same low-pressure, Zen-like experience of its predecessors.

The game is totally worth the hype. I don’t feel that it as revolutionary as most have praised it to be. If you have liked previous games of this series, you will most likely love this one. There have been constant free updates and fixes. It is even more fun if you have a friend or friends who play also.

I haven't seen my kid since I bought it so I guess he loves it!

I think that this new game Animal Crossing is the BEST ONE so far, nothing could beat this game, but I've got a few improvments/suggustions that could really bust this game up fast and hard, if there could be diffrent buildings that we could add, mabey a school, a church, a docter office.

As I'm sure most will say, this game came out on the Switch at the most PERFECT time. Right as quarantine was starting, this game saved so many people from going beyond insane with this pandemic we are going through. I owe everything to this game for getting me through the past year.

Fun game for the kids play together. Let's them be creative too.

Excellent game to enjoy with friends or family. This is a great game for those that would like to not focus so much on what is required to do be done but rather comfortably willing to explore and create items for your characters. Great game even if you have not played the games in the past!

This is the first animal crossing game I’ve ever played, and I love it. I was originally skeptical about paying full price for a game where I would be paying off debt and doing menial tasks. But once I’ve played it for a while, it’s really grown on me. I don’t really know how to explain it but it’s addicting

Such a chill game, you can literally leave this on in the background and the pleasant sounds from the island will most likely relax you in these stressful times. The game is deep, but not overwhelming. The game is charming, but not incredibly campy either. Nintendo magic at work! What are you waiting for?

This game is definitely not for everyone. But, if you enjoy life-sim games and you need something relaxing to play, this is the game to pick-up. It does start out slow, admittedly. But, the awarding achievement system, elements of customization, and some of the best visuals on Switch make up for that easily.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my fiancée. I brought this game for her and she hasn’t stopped playing it. We live in New York and she connects with her friends who have the game as well that live in Colorado and Maryland. She likens it to sims but with a more personal touch

Like the adventures in the game. Visiting other islands. You can change the clothes on the characters and decorate your house.

Purchased this game for my son and myself. We both were able to play using a Nintendo Online Family account which we purchased for a reasonable amount yearly. It is a good clean game with good humor and it’s very open in the sense that you can customize just about anything once you reach a certain point.

Where do I start? Turnips? Bridges? Chill? Yup it has the things you would expect an animal crossing to have. This is the best release for this series ever. Highly recommended. It’s one flaw? One island per nintendo switch. So if you’re a one switch household, prepare to share your island with your family.

I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid on my DS so this brought back lots of nostalgia. This version has so many more features on it than the older ones and that just makes it so much better. If you’re looking for a chill, slice-of-life game to play, this is the one to get.

Well I purchased this game for my daughter as a summer gift for finishing her book club task. Never playing any of the games in the collection, I didn’t know what to expect. So now we are addict to playing this game. I just ordered another copy of this game for my switch so we can link our islands.

My 9 yr old daughter loves this game! Says it’s so much fun and loves that she can “visit” her friends and family with the game. If you are looking at this game for a little one, keep in mind there is a good amount of reading that has to be done to play so not recommended for younger ones that can’t yet.

I’ve only played the animal crossing on the GameCube but once I got my switch I couldn’t wait to buy the switch version. The graphics are nice and the game itself has many interesting features much different than before. It was a nostalgic game and was very impressed when I got to play it.

New Horizons came out at a perfect time for many. Being a game with no clear goal, but an absolute ton of customization, you had an outlet that anybody could enjoy. My time with the game was initially quite high. Since the first month or so, I’ve played far less. However unlike prior titles in the series, there is absolutely nothing held against me for leaving it be. As someone who plays games in what one could call phases, this is absolutely a positive. I strongly suggest purchasing the game as a digital copy due to not only how the Switch works in general, but Animal Crossing New Horizons in particular. Save data is on the system itself, and New Horizons can’t be backed up through normal means. There is no additional fear of data loss (if you’re like me, anyways) by going the digital route, as there is no difference in what is lost between the two options. That rambling aside, having a title like this in a place of easily booting up at any given time furthers the carefree feel of the title. Drop in anytime.

Game came in very good time and as expected. I have been playing it some each day. Good game not difficult but interesting. Have chores. Similar to the prior games but different in its own way. Fun to play. Relaxing. Good purchase. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch
