    A lot of fun to play with family. 5 year old daughter enjoys it. We can all play on the island together. Requires a lot of reading though so adult is needed close by if a child is playing and trying to actually progress through the game.

    Honestly, this game has kept me playing, though not binging as I have been in the past with the series. Real time really forces you to enjoy and play the game rather than time skip and complete your collections in a week. Other than that, beautiful game that pairs well with a busy adult life.

    Another Beautiful Game

    Animal Crossing has always been unique and beautiful, and Nintendo didn't let us down with New Horizons. The beauty is better than ever, so, so many new features, and there's much more to do to keep yourself occupied and entertained than in the previous titles. The hours just slip away from you

    We were surprised to be able to pick this up same day through Best Buy's no contact drive thru. It was back ordered online everywhere. My teenager wanted something fun to do while schools were closed. Now she visits with her grown up sisters virtual world with the optional online membership.

    I bought this for my daughter (age 14) and she has decided she loves it so much that she spent her birthday and Christmas money she had been saving to buy a switch lite for her step-sister (lives in a different household) so that they could play together even on weekends they weren't together.

    It is a very fun, cute, and relaxing game that you can play anytime! The above sentance was written by my 15 year old daughter. My 13 year old daughter also loves it!! With the stay at home order in our area, this has helped to keep them happily engaged, as they can play in each others games.

    Worth the wait! There is so much to do in this game and I love how they gave you freedom to change and design your island! Coming from someone who's played the ds version for years as a child, new horizons has much more to offer. I highly recommend this game for people who just want to relax.

    Especially if you have online friends to play with! It's a very calming escape, especially with current events. Dont let the visuals fool you, this is a game for everyone, not just children. If you need something to escape your current situation, something different, just give this game a try.

    A great game for the current global situation...absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and just an all around great way to spend some time. If you enjoy relaxing games, games where you can design stuff (homes, clothes, etc), plant tress/flowers, and/or collect animals (bugs/fish), then buy this game.

    What can’t you do in this game? Fully customizable house, exterior and eventually the whole island! The phone feature makes gameplay much more streamlined and fits very naturally into the game. There are a few gripes like one island per console but that doesn’t take away from how great it is!!

    This game is amazing to play with friends. Otherwise, it's a bit of a daily slog/grind to do the same repetitive actions to obtain a sense of progress. I was addicted for 3-4 weeks but lost interest a bit after. The game is great, just not my personal cup of tea to play year-round.

    The game is amazing and I recommend it. My kiddo loves it and I've played it a bit myself and enjoy it. What I should have investigated is that buying a second copy of the game does not give you a "new" island. All of your created toons "share" an island. I knew this but assumed if I purchased a second copy we would have...well...a second copy of the game. That is not the case. All of the info is tied to the switch apparently. We gave this copy away. So dont buy it if you want a second island. It does not work that way. The game is good though.

    Animal Crossing is an incredibly relaxing experience that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. Customize your island and meet villagers! Multiplayer supported! Just know that you can only have one island per switch. One account will be the owner and the rest of the accounts will be villagers.

    This game has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! Not only does it make one relax but also it gives me happiness, I never imagined to get emotionally attached to the villagers in my island, but here we are, I sincerely love this game and the service by Best Buy was also nice:)!

    It's a little hard to get into this game at first if you've never played this game before. However, after you continue to play this game for a bit and actually have goals, it's actually pretty fun. To be honest, it seems like Minecraft but more cartoony. Either way, I like it.

    I got this for my girlfriend's birthday and she loves it. I'm not too familiar with the series, but it looks fun and relaxing. More of a game to help destress after work or something. You have goals to work towards and can renovate your island.

    Love it, incredibly fun and addicting to play and my wife and kids love it as well. Quick note, that you will need online access and some available friends to use all the full features of the game.
