    This is a great game that my son loves to play and it is also a game that adults can play as well. It allows my son during the pandemic to play with his friends on line in a game where you create your own section of the world and they can come and visit the area that you have built in the game. This is a game that I can also go in and play with my son with and at the same time check on my son at the same time. Also I like how this game does not have violence all throughout the game. A must for kids and adults alike.

    This game is definitely worth all the hype it's getting. It's entertaining, and definitely exceeded all my expectations. At first, I thought that it would be really simple and basic, but I got really into it. There's daily goals that you need to do, which keep you busy, but the reward is definitely worth it. I really enjoy how each villager that moves in is completely random (at least if you don't cheat), the only thing that bothers be is that I'm constantly in debt but that's the price of me having a great house! Overall, I highly recommend this game, it's so adorable and wholesome.

    Best Animal Crossing game yet! Unlike previous games in the series, you can now terraform your island! Can also place items outside of your house. Easily lose hundreds of hours designing the island you want. Lots of designs online you can download via codes, for custom paths, clothes, etc. The only downside of this game is that every user on your Switch is on the same island. Meaning you have to share your island. Sometimes that other user might accidently change your look of an area or kick out your favorite villager, etc. Really odd choice for them to make it one island per Switch console. Online play is optional & is very clunky. You have to enter a code to enter a friend's island, there's lots of loading hiding behind the fly over animation/cutscenes, where it takes like 30 seconds to 5 minutes before you can actually move around on their island. Meanwhile your friend & everyone else already on the island is interrupted & also have to wait. It gets really annoying when multiple people visit during the same session. Lots of waiting as each player loads.

    Has anyone seen my fiancee?

    Purchased this for my fiancee, as she was playing some silly dragon game on her phone during stay-at-home, and this seemed to have more substance. This has occupied an equal amount of her time, which is to say all of it. She's got a really great garden and orchard going, which is nice. She's also made some pretty outfits. I like the viking helmet that she shook loose from one of the trees I mentioned earlier. She managed to catch three Oarfish, which from her excitement, seems like a pretty big deal. There's also a pen with 5 turtles next to her house, and I suggested she build them a pool.

    The Best Animal Crossing Yet!

    New, fresh, and the most customizable Animal Crossing game ever released! Nearly everything about this game improves upon the previous games from quality of life improvements like bigger inventory and storage to customization like adding your own designs to nearly everything and changing the actual landscape however you see fit! Not many flaws except that many tools break WAY to often and people playing on the same switch are forced to live in the same town regardless of separate profiles. All in all, this is truly the best entry in the Animal Crossing series of games! Would highly reccomened!

    We ordered this with high expectations of course. The only criticism I can come up with is that if you have two separate accounts on one switch, it does not let you both have a separate island of your own. You have to share an island and that was not clear to us initially. But, overall it's still a very sweet game and very sweet in such a stressful time.

    I have loved animal crossing since I had my very first Nintendo ds when the game came out. This island version is super fun and really still reminds you of the original just in a different world. I also love that you’re able to play online with friends or with current members local or not. 5 stars! It’s always fun.

    This, like all other Animal Crossing games of the past, captures Nintendo charm to the utmost. What a fun little game that never overstays it’s welcome. This is something you can play from 15 to 40 minutes a day, max, and it will fulfill everything you need it to. It’s just adorable and I challenge the most hardened gamer to not smile when playing this delightful game. Highly recommended.

    Great way to wind down after a day of work. Nintendo hit it out of the park here, you have a lot of freedom to get creative with your island. Highly recommend
