    The game itself is cool. My daughter enjoyed it for a little until she started playing fortnite.

    I haven’t played an AC game since GameCube so I was so excited to get it on the Switch. It’s giving me some sanity during this crazy pandemic time. There’s lots to do and the characters are adorable. Very fun game.

    Fills my 22 year old heart with joy, good for any age and a good way to pass the time. Came in perfect shape and works as expected. You get occasional updates with new items for special occasions. Addicting and became part of my daily routine before work.

    I purchased Animal Crossing sometime during the quarantine and definitely got my monies worth. It's supposed to be a relaxing game, but that depends on how much effort you want to put into your island.

    I bought this for my wife because she loves decorating and cuteness. She isn't a huge gamer but has put in over 100 hrs into this game!! Huge hit and it got me interested, but only one island per console made that die quickly.

    All of the hype is true - this is the best Animal Crossing game by far. There is so much to do and the Switch platform allowing you to visit friends is awesome. Whether you played the OG Animal Crossing on GameCube as a kid or never played before at all, this game is fantastic.

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is my favorite game on the Nintendo Switch! It has a calm game-play that you can play at your own pace. I love the variety of things to do and the activities change throughout the year. It definitely keeps you intrigued! I highly recommend this game.

    I don't really connect with people or decorate but if I did this game would be good. Really cute. I like walking on the beach and pretending its Hawaii or jumping in the water but I didn't do the main focus of the game which may be to visit friends and hang out.

    Take a little mind journey with me; You just got off a stressful shift at your job, turn on your Switch, and load up Animal Crossing. After mashing A for what seems to be 2 years to get through the little daily announcement from Isabelle, you go off to do whatever makes this game so popular among sadists. - Go dig for fossils to turn into the worst museum curator on the planet - Catch the same 3 fish over and over - Wake up a clearly suicidal pelican from his drunken stupor, only to have him word-vomit his entire backstory at you. Every. Single. TIME. - Farm, collect, and sell innocent creatures to repay the loan shark that has your oysters so firmly gripped that your children's grandchildren will STILL be paying off your poor decision to move onto an island with the shark and his family. - Eventually give up and pull off continuous time heists to buy and sell veggies to an old lady to pay off your debts before your fingers are taken, only to have the AC purists screech at you because "you aren't playing the game right". - Go overboard on the time skips to the point where you've paid off all your debts, get bored with the game, take a break for a month, only to stumble across a random YT vid one day that showcases all the players that DIDN'T cop out and quit and their AwEsoME islands that are TOTALLY legit and not hizzacked at ALL, gain minor inspiration to copy their islands until, YES YOU GUESSED IT. You get bored yet again. 11/10, would read through every text box in-game again.

    Perfect game during the pandemic! You play to be the best islander for your island! Can't see my friends during these hard times but thanks to this game, we were able to visit each others' island and play games (we designed our island to be a game island)!

    Very relaxing or stressful depending on what you want to do in the game. I prefer relaxing, so I take my time earning bells to pay back my debts. I prefer to dig up fossils to populate my museum and go fishing for rarer aquatic species which I donate to the museum or sell.

    Fun game; I can see why it's one of the best selling games for the Nintendo Switch. Nothing like catching butterflies in the sky and fishing in the sea.

    Great game, super cute animations, lots of fun stuff to do for the LOADS of downtime we have. It's a very fun, family friendly and casual game which you can customize, decorate and build your town as you please. Thank you to all the workers putting in hours during these times.

    It’s sort of like a Minecraft/Animal Crossing game. You gather items to build tools (that will break from use), build shops, and build houses! You get to choose where the houses go (unlike just having random villagers mess up your trees!) and you can put furniture outside, too!
