Customer Ratings & Reviews

Looking for the ultimate time-killer everyone in the family can pickup and play? Look no further! If you've ever played an Animal Crossing, the latest iteration in the series is a no-brainer purchase which expands on everything the previous games have done to date. If you're new to the series, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. It's an honest question which can't be answered unless you give the game a try - and then you can expect to pour 100 hours or better into "beating" the main objective. However, there's no push to do anything you don't want to with this game, which is the main appeal. You can pick it up, spend ten minutes or ten hours with it - then pass of the Switch to your spouse or one of the kids (I have a six-year-old who is a whiz at it). Highly recommended.

I questioned if this game was worth its price at first. I spent the first month of having it not playing it, but now I can’t stay away. It’s like the sims but cuter. Great for kids and adults. It’s a relaxing mind game.

Animal Crossing has been a sentimental game since I was first introduced through the gamecube version, and AC has come a long way. I love it! The graphics, multiplayer flying option, is so cool! It's a chill game where all you do is vibe.

A fun game honestly not much else to say I’m glad I bought tho it’s definitely my most played game on my switch

This is my first animal crossing game and I'm obsessed. It's very relaxing, yet tons of fun, and it's been played every day so far since release. The only flaw I've come across so far is the approach to multiple users and co-op play. Most people are aware that the premise of this game is that you move to a deserted island and make it your home. A drawback for a lot of people is that there is only ONE island per Nintendo Switch. This means if you have several people who want to play the game on the same system, they will all live on the same island. I was aware of this going in, and was fine with it. My girlfriend and I have been creating and living on pur island together and it's great. However, not all island residents seem to be created equal. The first user who boots up the game and creates a character gets the title of "Resident Representative". This person carries most of the authority for the progression of the island. Only they will be able to take tasks, place new buildings, and choose where to put things like bridges and ramps. For my situation, this hasn't been a big issue as my girlfriend and I play and make the decisions together, it's just that she needs to be the one to put those decisions in place. It leaves my character feeling like just another resident, a little less important to the island. So, naturally, one would start to want their own island, one where they have the main authority over everything. And then you remember that's impossible. One island per Switch. That's the rule, and it doesn't seem likely to change. So let's say one day my girlfriend gets her own Switch and wants her own island too. Then I could have my own island on my Switch too, but it would have to be at the cost of deleting our joint island, which we've both grown attached to already. The game is thoroughly enjoyable, but I think people should be aware of potential problems when it comes to multiple island residents and save files.

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

These games were never on my radar, I play shooters and rpg's mainly like the Witcher and the like. My wife got into and convinced me to try it. I am loving it so far and initially wrote it off as something I wouldn't like. If you enjoy games such the Sims, pokemon, and games such as minecraft or terraria that require collecting, tons of loot and crafting you will enjoy this. While there is no true combat other than the occassional wasp nest or turantula, there is a ton of customization and charm. For me, I listen to a podcast in my headphones and play this with sound off as a way to unwind and relax before bed. It is very open-ended and lets you to play the way you want. For me I love the farming and gardening as well as the collecting of rare bugs, my wife loves the decorating and customizations aspect.

This is a very fun and addicting game. The characters are very kid friendly and the game play is very easy. This game is suitable for all ages and allows you to tap into your creativity.

This game is amazing! I love how entertaining it is to go fishing, collect fruit, catch bugs, interact with adorable fellow islanders, and design your entire island. I am not a huge gamer, but I find myself playing hours on this game.

My inner child is so so happy. This game is stunning and they thought of everything! So much to do and customize, you can play the game at your own speed, your own way. It has an amazing online community as well if you play that way!

A LOT pf people were hyping this game up, so of course I fell for the peer pressure and bought it too. Its a good game for passing time, easy to get lost in game itself, and all of a sudden your alarm clock is going off and its time to get up for work. Parents beware, your kids will likely be up all night playing it, and be cranky when you wake them up for school. Or your boss will get mad at YOU for not making it to work on time. Dont say I didnt warn you! But if youre willing to risk the potential financial burden of losing your job because youre dedicating all of your time to this game, i highly recommend it. High risk, high reward.

This is an awesome game! The quality of the game is also good!

So much content here. This game is perfect for casual gamers. Very relaxing and so much to do, especially when you play with friends and family. Highly recommended for anyone, except possibly more hardcore gamers.

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

Animal Crossing is so addicting. The goal of the game is built a community you would want to live in. You will need to water your plants, gather supplies, even invite other characters to move in. Even my young nephews enjoy playing this game.

I love this game. This is my first time playing animal crossing and i recommend it for all. It’s so relaxing to explore the island, make friends with the islanders, and collect items. This is a good game to play with friends as well.

I've been a long time fan of animal crossing and have played all of the previous entries, but new horizons keeps it fresh. Plenty of new features have been added in, like having more control than ever over decorating the outside of your island, new characters and events, and being able to craft items. The graphics and sounds are beyond detailed and charming, there's so much to enjoy. The game is relaxing and with so many activities and items to unlock, anyone can truly move at their own pace. The only real issues I have are with the online multi player feeling tedious with all of the ridiculous loading screens.

Animal Crossing New Horizons offers a fresh new take on the series- life on your own tropical island! Turning a deserted island into your own highly customized community is a cathartic and endearing experience fit for all ages.

Player's Warning: This game is so addictive. It is fun to play with the whole family. Nintendo updates often and many events to participate in. You can interact with your friends makes this game a Pandemic gem.

Animal Crossing has always been a fun relaxing game where you can escape reality and create your own space. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons there are plenty of quality of life upgrades but it still has the same feel. Some are trying to rush the game given the current circumstances, but it is a game that is not meant to be rushed. Patience is a big part of this game, so it might not be for everyone. Also, some may see the daily grind as busy work. However, for me ACNH is very relaxing and the hard work pays off in creating a really cool island. I'm one of those people that really enjoys checking off boxes, so this game is my cup of tea. I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for something very low-key, but if you are looking for something action packed, I would look elsewhere.
