    I bought this for my daughter (age 14) and she has decided she loves it so much that she spent her birthday and Christmas money she had been saving to buy a switch lite for her step-sister (lives in a different household) so that they could play together even on weekends they weren't together.

    This game is amazing to play with friends. Otherwise, it's a bit of a daily slog/grind to do the same repetitive actions to obtain a sense of progress. I was addicted for 3-4 weeks but lost interest a bit after. The game is great, just not my personal cup of tea to play year-round.

    It is a very fun, cute, and relaxing game that you can play anytime! The above sentance was written by my 15 year old daughter. My 13 year old daughter also loves it!! With the stay at home order in our area, this has helped to keep them happily engaged, as they can play in each others games.

    Worth the wait! There is so much to do in this game and I love how they gave you freedom to change and design your island! Coming from someone who's played the ds version for years as a child, new horizons has much more to offer. I highly recommend this game for people who just want to relax.

    It's a little hard to get into this game at first if you've never played this game before. However, after you continue to play this game for a bit and actually have goals, it's actually pretty fun. To be honest, it seems like Minecraft but more cartoony. Either way, I like it.

    Especially if you have online friends to play with! It's a very calming escape, especially with current events. Dont let the visuals fool you, this is a game for everyone, not just children. If you need something to escape your current situation, something different, just give this game a try.

    This was my first Animal Crossing game and I was NOT disappointed. This was perfect during the beginning of the quarantine and sucked a lot of extra hours I had from being inside. Highly recommend it if you just want to escape onto your island and enjoy the simple things.

    A great game for the current global situation...absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and just an all around great way to spend some time. If you enjoy relaxing games, games where you can design stuff (homes, clothes, etc), plant tress/flowers, and/or collect animals (bugs/fish), then buy this game.

    What can’t you do in this game? Fully customizable house, exterior and eventually the whole island! The phone feature makes gameplay much more streamlined and fits very naturally into the game. There are a few gripes like one island per console but that doesn’t take away from how great it is!!

    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!

    This game has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! Not only does it make one relax but also it gives me happiness, I never imagined to get emotionally attached to the villagers in my island, but here we are, I sincerely love this game and the service by Best Buy was also nice:)!

    Animal Crossing is an incredibly relaxing experience that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. Customize your island and meet villagers! Multiplayer supported! Just know that you can only have one island per switch. One account will be the owner and the rest of the accounts will be villagers.

    It's animal crossing what more can I say. As a gamer who tends to stay away from these type of games I have been completely sucked into this game. I have poured hours and hours into my island that my wife and I share. Easily one of the best animal crossings I've ever played.

    I have played Animal Crossings for over a year and have enjoyed the learning about how to play with a relaxed effort. If you run into a problem, just go to YouTube or Google and problem solved. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME FOR ANY AGE!!!

    Overall, it is a great game. When I first got Animal Crossing, I thought it would be a great game to try and success! The game was very cute. It is for people that like to build and create things. I would recommend it if you like to perform tasks and build things. It can be very addicting.

    My daughter (age 10) loves this game but lost it recently so I am buying it again. It is her favorite game and with my Best Buy rewards and the sale they were having on it, I couldn’t pass it up.

    At launch, this was clearly the best Animal Crossing game ever made. Since then, it has received several updates making it even better. This game is best played without obsessing over things like the Critterpedia or achievements. Just kick back and relax on your island.

    My seven year old got this for Christmas. He seems to enjoy playing it. He’s playing it in the car right now. My 15 year old has also borrowed it to play some too. The little animals in the game make annoying sound when they talk but other than that it seems a cute game.
