Kids like it... it's engaging and entertaining. Keeps their interest exploring the world with their animals

Hadn't played animal crossing in years before buying this, and wow it was worth the money!

Great game for adults and kids simulating life and alternate realities. Super for me and the kids. Love the color stories on packaging, game stylus, and covers. Wish I had reserved the limited edition Nintendo game unit to play it on. Three of us could of played together.

Typically I do not write reviews but this game is the ultimate disassociation from the actual end of the world. My friends come hang on my island, I’ve been on animal crossing dates, I craft my own stuff!!!! I don’t even believe in the American dollar anymore, only bells.

This is my 1st animal crossings game, and all in all I enjoy this game a good bit. There are things you should know if you plan on playing this game with your family. I bought this game as a gift for my son, but there are three gamers in the house that are playing this game. The 1st thing you should know about playing this game in a house where multiple people want to play it is 1) "whoever starts the game the 1st time has most of the creative power." The game was for my son, so he loaded it and named the island, picked the layout and is the primary representative with Tom Nook in the game. His game progression dictates the overall progression of the game for all the people playing on that switch system. Everyone else has to share the 1st person's island. Tom Nook will not talk to the non-primary resident about many of the things in the game that advances the island. 2) the non primary resident doesn't get their own island. They can invite additional people to the island once key things are performed by the primary resident. They can also contribute bells towards funding projects such as bridges and inclines but rely on the primary resident to place these things. More than one player can play at the same time on the same console but there is always a leader... You can pass who is leader fairly simple but in my house this devolves into arguments between the kids. A large focus in the game is on resource gathering. Some things become available based on time played. You have to wait until the next days for construction sites to be completed even for fully funded bridges and inclines. There are tons of items in the game, but some are seasonal. Some items are only available at certain times of the day. Nook's Cranny (the in game store) is only open from 8am - 10pm and then there is a drop off service that you can use to sell things after hours (i'm not kidding) at 80% of the value. I feel like I'm griping, however I just think these are things you should consider if you share the switch among several people. I would recommend this game.

Great new features. Have had the older version for many years and there's just so many bells to earn and fish to catch, etc before it gets stale. SO MANY new options (New Horizons!) with this version. Just learning it but literally hours of fun. A real improvement.

It's an excellent sequel to the earlier Animal Crossing games. It's a game that's difficult to describe. If I had to compare it to anything else it would have to be The Sims. There's really no way to play it competitively, and that's one of the things that makes it great.

Great game to play during Quarantine in the midst a pandemic. I played it for like a week straight. I don’t like tarantulas but making a tarantula Island is worth it because now I own my house, thinking about getting a bigger house, may need more tarantula islands soon.

This games was desperately needed and it couldn't have come at a better time! It's fun, charming, cute, and something is always going on! And the events are just as fun as well! (eh, Bunny Day was debatable) The Halloween event is coming soon and CANNOT WAIT!

My daughter has been playing ever since I stood in line to pick up her copy of Animal Crossing. Everyday she shows me all the animals, bugs and fish she has collected. Thank you for such a fun game. l think I need to start playing and I'm 60 years old. Wonderful fun!

I absolutely love this game! This was my first Animal Crossing game and I can't get enough. There are so many different things to explore and do that you will never get bored. It's so relaxing and great for kids. It's such a good family game! You will not be disappointed.

I received this game as part of the Nintendo Switch bundle I purchased. I have played Animal Crossing years ago on Gamecube so I expected it to be good. I underestimate just how good. This game is addictive and amazing fun. I have yet to even try my other games.

My wife and both kids (grade schoolers) love this game. We've bought multiple copies of the game so that everyone can play together. In times of old, the families used to circle around board games. Now, my family games together with a few Nintendo Switches!

New Horizons is by far my most played game of 2020. I would be ashamed to admit how many hundreds of hours that I have played. There is always something to do on the island - every day. The frequent updates from Nintendo help to keep things fresh.

Fantastic game. Highly recommend for children. My kids love it

This is my first time playing Animal Crossing, other than the pocketcamp version on my phone. This game is really fun and I definitely could play for hours on end if I let myself. It has a really great storyline and there’s always more to do so you never lose interest!

There is so much to do on Animal Crossings New Horizon. Completely different from the previous game. New tasks to complete to keep daily, new villagers to meet and talk to everyday. It brings a sense of community that we're currently lacking. I absolutely love this game!

I played the original Animal Crossing game and am just returning to the series with this release. It is very nostalgic and fun to play. I am happy that they added in a bunch of new features that make things go more smoothly. It's very easy to progress in the game as well.

I've been playing this game since wild world for the original nintendo ds. New Leaf wasn't much of an upgrade in my opinion. New Horizons was worth it tho. They added fun new gameplay and combined some of the best qualities from New Leaf and Wild World. The museum is gr8.

All my kids LOVE this game. They love the way the game builds. Highly recommended. This is a classic game.
