    Bought 3 of these! One for each of my kids and one for myself. We all enjoyed playing together at the same time and being able to visit each others worlds!

    This is the first game I e played that is not Mario or Pokemon since I got a Switch Lite. It’s been years since I’ve played video games and so glad I got this one. It’s really addicting and fun. I like the mini challenges that earn your Nook Miles. It makes the game play even more interesting.

    It's one of those games that you think is going to be good, then once you actually have it and start playing it. It just blew my mind off, I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Animal Crossing is one of those games where there's no goal, you just play it how you would want to, there's no goals!

    This game is fun and very immersive. There are countless items to craft and collect. Everyone in the house can participate and have their own house and share items. The only downside is everyone is vying for a turn to play. We have played this many hours, especially right now. Highly recommend.

    I won't lie, I got harrased into buying this game by a couple of friends and went in expecting to hate it. After playing it for a couple hours though, I can honestly say the simple novelty of Animal Crossing is some of the most fun I've had with a Nintendo game since Breath of the Wild.

    We bought animal crossing on launch and are gradually getting into the game. The DIY gameplay is awesome and a totally logical direction for this game. We haven’t yet used the online features, but will get into that next. After playing new leaf for many years, I think this new one will stick!

    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.

    I love the attention to detail when it comes to the items that are in the game. All the characters are so cute as usual. I especially love the concept of animal crossing with getting to design the land however you like!

    I played Animal Crossing a lot as a kid and absolutely love being able to play again. I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch and I love it! It’s a really fun game with lots of things to do. It’s a little bit slower paced, so it’s more for patient players who don’t need instant gratification.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    No Second Island - but a good game.

    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.

    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.

    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.
