Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great addition to the animal crossing series with new additions that makes this game even more addicting than the series already was. There are no longer daily tasks that are one and done. Instead the tasks are unlimited, once you complete one of five, another appears. There are new creatures not seen in the series before, too, along with new ways to explore that are always randomized. Overall its a great experience for all ages.

I have never played animal crossing before and I purchased this partially due to the hype and partially due to my love of MySims DS. The mechanics can be mildly frustrating at times but once you get the hang of it and unlock different tools it plays well. I’ve already logged over 100 hours (when I should have been studying for my classes). The main downside for me is not being able to transfer save data to a new console since my ACNH Switch got here a couple weeks after my game. I had to restart altogether. The one island per console thing sucks but I loved it so much that I bought my girlfriend a switch and the game so we could play together. Not that it is practical for most people. The multiplayer is sorta playable.

This game came out not too long ago and at first I was skeptical of getting it as I have never played into an Animal Crossing before. Seeing the growing popularity of this new title in the series and the massive amount of positive reviews I chose to purchase this and after playing for a week or so I can say that I’m happy with my purchase. Aesthetically this game is perfect from the visual animation style to the gentle calm music. The gameplay is more slower paced but it makes everything you do in the end feel more impactful and rewarding in the long run. If that’s not your style then I don’t recommend getting this game especially if you’re mostly used to FPS shooters or games that are more faster paced.

My whole family has enjoyed this one, which is rare. We all have different gaming tastes, but this one has something for everyone. Really fun.

I’m not a gamer but I’m really enjoying this game. The controls are easy, no crazy combinations of buttons to perform something. You land on this not-exactly-deserted deserted island and build your life. You collect things: weeds, rocks, oranges, sticks and you can either sell them for money to buy things or you can craft things. Like a fishing pole from sticks. You can garden or sit on the beach or trade in your tent for a cabin, then decorate it. The music is relaxing, the pace is relaxing, and the other people and critters on the island are friendly and helpful. I know it doesn’t sound like much but it’s a great way to chill at the end of the day

Animal Crossing is what's known as a Sandbox game. Meaning you do what you want at your own pace. You can tend to your island, collect furniture to deck out your house, collect bugs/fish/fossils and a whole lot more. The scenery and activities you can do change daily with even more drastic changes coming each month, so there's always going to be something for you to discover. You can even sink hours into making designs to personalize your house, island, or clothes. There is just so much to do in this game. It's slow paced and fun. Just a high quality title by Nintendo. There's a reason this game is a smash hit. You will not be disappointment picking this up. People of any age or skill level will be able to enjoy it.

ACNH was my very first AC game to play and its great for first timers who are new to Animal Crossing. This game came in clutch during the lockdowns we had during 2020 and I had already pre-ordered this game so I was very much invested into it. Its a very casual game to play anytime/anywhere, there's so much to do and so much you can invent and design on your own! Its great for all ages, young and old to enjoy this game. I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy character and world customization. The soundtrack is also very soothing and therapeutic for the gameplay.

It is easy to spend a lot of hours playing this game with friends or alone. The customization option takes a lot of time to unlock but is worth it to terraform the island to your exact specifications.

Im a nurse and a mom of 2, a 10yr old and 10 month old so everyday is busy. Even before the quarantine came out, i hardly even went out so this game is perfect for stay at home moms or dads, or anyone working who just wants to relax when they get home without dealing with a challenging game, for any age group able to play, its the go to game of the year! Thank you Nintendo! Maybe a little issue with the game here and there but overall its a definite 5* ! Definitely worth your money! And yes you can play this game on either the nintendo console or the switch-lite. Enjoy!

As a gamer who has played and enjoyed AC New Leaf on 3DS for years, I can say that the sequel definitely lives up to the expectations. Great graphics, incredibly detailed game play. Definitely recommended.

I bought this game for myself as an early Christmas present. I truly enjoy how relaxing this game is. I didn't believe others when they said that this game is relaxing to play, but it truly is. I would highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for a leisure game to play that is not overly complicated and you are not rushing to complete difficult and time-consuming tasks. I wish I had this game for the DS when I was playing that system. The game is a little pricy but is worth every penny. I bought this particular game at the same time I bought the system. I knew this needed to be the first game I play on it. I am glad I did not skip over purchasing this game.

Before you say that you can’t use online or whatever to talk to friends etc. yeah it’s because you need Nintendo online which sucks even though you paid a good amount of money on a game. But honestly, Nintendo online isn’t that expensive. It’s worth the price depending on how long you want your membership. Back to the game, it’s fun to play during these times. FYI only one person/player can play this game, regardless if you have others registered into the switch. If the main person/player plays the game and another person/player wants to to play it with their account, it will take it as if the main person who owns the switch is theirs. Other than that, it’s a great game and I’ve had it for a month.

Great game! Awesome graphics! Please make another one soon!

Amazing game! Great little comfort game! Love the characters!

This is the peak of cozy gaming. When i wanna relax and play something this is the go to game of choice. The music and everything about this game os so soothing.

Great game. It is a kid and adult friendly game. It’s a great way to pass time and be creative.

if you enjoy interior design as well as the farm life you’ll love this game you can customize your character as well as visit your friends islands it’s just so much fun and it came out at the perfect time!

This newest Animal Crossing is everything the previous games had and more! I was surprised on how you can customize your town and craft things like furniture and bridges, for example. A lot of new things to keep my family and I logging in! My only piece of advice is to make sure whoever the 1st player you create is, make sure that person plays consistently because they will become the town representative and has more capabilities than other players. I found we can only advance in the town with player 1 doing most of the work (building the museum and Nook's Cranny and preparing houses for new neighbors to move in are dependent on player 1) I hope AC can fix the capabilities with this so all players can do things.

Got hooked and play this all the time. Even after "beating" the game...which it sort of considers getting a 3 Star Island and K.K. visiting...I still keep going and getting more. Goals now are keeping a 5 Star island and collecting everything. This was actually a copy for my 2nd Switch, so other family members can join an island and visit each other to do even more along with trading items. I wish the Local Network connection was more stable and stayed in sync. First time we played with it we spent two hours helping each other then it disconnected and we lost everything. The Online play which requires the Family Plan seems to cache on their servers and not have issues unless someone disconnects wrong or their battery goes dead. I think they could have done it better on the Local Network too, but chose to optimize the one you have to give them money for. I have a Gigabit local network which should be faster and more stable than both devices connecting to an outside internet server to communicate when 5 feet from each other and we even got ethernet adapters to rule out Wifi issues.

Makes quarantine more tolerable. Super fun, colorful with great graphics, essy to play. Grid system was a little confusing at first, kept missing with my shovel, but you figure it out. Highly recommended!
