    I’ve played every animal crossing game and this one is amazing. The graphics are awesome and there’s so much to do in the game. Being able to play on the tv and handheld mode is cool too

    Literally the only reason I bought my switch lite lol who doesn’t love animal crossing? Once you see these graphics and gameplay you’ll look at the older games and think they are something alien

    Great game, haven't played it as much as I wanted to but it is very much an update version of AC for the Switch. Great gameplay and very much to do so you stay coming back to the game.

    This is my first full dive into an animal crossing game, but I dabbled with New Leaf so I knew what I was getting into. At the beginning of the game, it may feel limiting due to the way that events happen according to real time, but once you begin to unlock more and more you will find yourself falling in love with the characters, collecting, music, customization, etc. I will warn that this is a game that is t be enjoyed over a long period of time and can be played in short bursts everyday (~30 minutes) just to do your daily tasks. I've enjoyed my first week with the game so far (~60 hours) and look forward to all of the possibilities and events that are planned. Highly recommended!

    It's a great addition to the Animal Crossing series, but also a great standalone game and starting point for someone who has never played the AC games before. Graphics and gameplay are amazing!

    True Animal Crossing Experience

    If you're looking for a time killing life simulation, this is it for you. Animal Crossing is a series with an appeal that is incredibly difficult to place, but I think the best way to describe it is the freedom to live a relaxing life without the pressure of actual life. Although there are aspects of debt and social responsibilities in the game, you are by no means obligated to do so and can instead go fish, catch bugs, terraform your island, or just make art and sleep. Animal Crossing New Horizons provides you with that freedom in spades, and I would recommend this to anyone who just wants to tend a garden every day without having to worrying about killing those flowers.

    What can I say that others have not? Not much. This game is a time killer. You either invest a lot of time or you won’t have fun. Easy that even my kid can play it but intriguing enough that I play it as well. Took one star off because game does not allow more than one “island” per Switch/game cartridge. To have separate islands you have to have a separate Switch and game cartridge.

    It's Animal Crossing

    It's what you've come to expect from Animal Crossing and refined to a certain degree. The increasing pocket size is one of my favorite additions. Crafting plays a huge roll now, so you have to collect materials reminiscent of Minecraft in order to make things like furniture, tools, and some story related stuff. Not a terrible addition if you're into it. Has a system where you earn points to redeem for upgrades (like the aforementioned pocket upgrade) and, of course, you have plenty of opportunities to earn and spend bells as you upgrade your house and buy items. If you like previous installments, you'll like this. More of the same with some quality of life improvements.

    She “doesn’t play video games”...

    I got a Switch and Animal Crossings in hopes that I could bridge the gap for my non-gamer girlfriend’s birthday. She is hooked! Perfect game because you can legit pick it up for a little play session and put it down into sleep mode for later. I guess some people don’t think you can be into video games casually. You can, and the Switch proved this for her. Plus now I get to game The Witcher 3 in bed at night with no complaints haha. ACNH is a fun game that can be played for short sessions but also watch out it can totally hook you in for an hour and a half sometimes. I prefer more action in my games but if it’s your thing the game is really polished.

    A lot of hours you can put into this game into building up and customizing every little thing. Letting you play with friends makes the game even more enjoyable as you help each other.

    Bought this for my 7yr old(1st grade). Reading is required for this game and she can comprehend almost all the interactions. Does need some assistance with larger words and scenarios. She’s had a lot of fun with this game and so have I. We’re on the same island together and we can send each other presents and play at the same time which is fun. It’s not great when it comes to coop but it’s sufficient for a short period of time. She also loves the creative process of building and designing her home. Only regret is that I purchased the physical copy instead of digital. I just wasn’t sure how much she’d like it and liked the idea of being able to resell if she didn’t.
