This is my 1st animal crossings game, and all in all I enjoy this game a good bit. There are things you should know if you plan on playing this game with your family. I bought this game as a gift for my son, but there are three gamers in the house that are playing this game. The 1st thing you should know about playing this game in a house where multiple people want to play it is 1) "whoever starts the game the 1st time has most of the creative power." The game was for my son, so he loaded it and named the island, picked the layout and is the primary representative with Tom Nook in the game. His game progression dictates the overall progression of the game for all the people playing on that switch system. Everyone else has to share the 1st person's island. Tom Nook will not talk to the non-primary resident about many of the things in the game that advances the island. 2) the non primary resident doesn't get their own island. They can invite additional people to the island once key things are performed by the primary resident. They can also contribute bells towards funding projects such as bridges and inclines but rely on the primary resident to place these things. More than one player can play at the same time on the same console but there is always a leader... You can pass who is leader fairly simple but in my house this devolves into arguments between the kids. A large focus in the game is on resource gathering. Some things become available based on time played. You have to wait until the next days for construction sites to be completed even for fully funded bridges and inclines. There are tons of items in the game, but some are seasonal. Some items are only available at certain times of the day. Nook's Cranny (the in game store) is only open from 8am - 10pm and then there is a drop off service that you can use to sell things after hours (i'm not kidding) at 80% of the value. I feel like I'm griping, however I just think these are things you should consider if you share the switch among several people. I would recommend this game.

Very fun game for my girl friend. Good idea when us guys trying to hop on the call of duty!

So.... my wife and I bought this game for my two daughters and I was thinking how can we be spending this much money on this dumb game but then I started playing it and now I can’t stop and I won’t let my girls even play it haha. It’s a pretty addictive game.

If you want an escapist experience to rid tour troubles away from the current predicament outside with the pandemic this game is for you..I never played Animal Croasing before but this game has made me a fan there is so much to do. Lots of customization for your island

I am a long-time fan of the Animal Crossing series, and this installment into the core line of games is an incredible one. The environment feels alive with the breezes and time of day changes. Cute in-game neighbors help you along your journey to building DIY projects.

New Horizons came out at the perfect time. This game got me through the worst of (for now) the quarantine and it's still a pleasure to play even now. The slow pacing of the game may not appeal to all but it is a nice break from hectic or stressful daily routines.

[Employee of bestbuy] Great game, a little confusing at first, but there is a huga community online for any people with questions about the game

Each of my three kids (10, 8, and 6) loves this game. Especially during quarantine, it's a fun way to keep the days moving! And there's no "losing," so everyone can enjoy playing without the competitive dynamic that comes with some of the other Nintendo games.

You definitely can tell that the animal crossing team put a lot of time and effort into this game, i was expecting that what you got in the first update is what you got in the game. but apparently they keep adding stuff which is amazing! absolutely recommend this game

New Horizons is by far my most played game of 2020. I would be ashamed to admit how many hundreds of hours that I have played. There is always something to do on the island - every day. The frequent updates from Nintendo help to keep things fresh.

i love it. bought it for my boyfriend for his birthday. he's been playing it since it was on gamecube and is obsessed with it. i now understand why and it came right before we were put into lockdown. definitely worth it especially to pass the time during this pandemic.

got this for my girlfriend, now I never get to use my switch because she's always playing animal crossing

Super fun, cozy game. I’ve played it for over 90 hours, but the seasonal and daily changes make it fun to keep playing.

This is a great game if you like something slow-paced and low-stress. I love the customization. So many cute clothes and furniture. Easy to play. It can get a bit stale over time, but sometimes you just want to log into your island and go fishing.

Best game during these tough times. I would suggest you watch a couple of YouTube videos on it before you purchase to see if it’s your cup of tea. I became so obsessed, I preordered the coral Nintendo + waited for the game in the mail & I’ve been playing ever since.

I ordered this game after seeing pictures and videos of the gameplay on my social media. I found the art style and plot so cute I just had to get the game and play it for myself. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a calm and relaxing game to play!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a great game. I have a blast playing it with my wife, as we work to turn our deserted island into an island paradise. The second person that plays this will be limited in what they can contribute to the "story", but it's fun regardless.

This game is so much fun and I haven’t put it down since I’ve gotten it. I already have 2 rooms in my house and the museum and so full! It does get redundant after awhile but every day I log in to play to see what new thing will appear on my island.

The games great my wife loves it the shipping process was a pain and off i couldnt get a direct answer on when it would come and got told it would come a month later then when i ordered same day shippinh
