    I had never played anything in the Animal Crossing franchise before this game, but my multiple friends that play convinced me. If you're stuck inside during shelter in place or if you're still working and need to relax after a long day, this game is great.

    As a parent who has given in to allowing my eight year old to engage in online gaming, this game is a refreshing departure from other building/crafting games she has played before. It’s creative and reinforces patience and process.

    Great Game, My wife started playing and she got me hooked during our states lockdown when this released. We used to share on 1 switch, but I had to go out and get my own switch and copy if the game so we could both play at the same time.

    Super fun and easy to pick up and somehow completely engaging despite being just a game about creating a make believe village. Go get it now and lose yourself for the next two years getting that one fish that everyone else seems to get but you.

    I would recommend the Animal Crossing series for anyone looking for a good, wholesome, game about create a village on an island. Definitely look up videos on the type of game it is before you buy. If it looks good to you, I bet you won't regret buying it.

    Fun game, but I lost interest after a few months of grinding. Maybe I'll come back to it, but there's not much to do that doesn't feel like a chore after so long!

    The mindless autonomy of doing whatever tasks you want is super soothing. If I'm feeling like hell, I'll boot up animal crossing. The nostalgia from the GameCube version, music, and soothing gameplay will make me feel better. Can't put a price on that.

    My whole family has been Animal Crossing fans from day one. We've played multiple versions on multiple devices over the years. Honestly this game is why I bought my switch. As a bonus I was able to get the AC themed switch so there's that.

    I bought this for my kids (9 and 7) but my wife and I ended up playing it as well. We're living on our own island living as a happy family. The game is fun with menial tasks you need to do every day. There is some dedication to this game, as you have daily tasks you should finish to advance your island. The only drawback is that there is only 1 island per Switch, so if you have a family playing (like us) there's no opportunity for each to have their own island to advance. Still a good time, though!

    My family is addicted. We aren't a "gaming" family. We just got our Nintendo Switch a month ago. We probably spend 2 hours a day playing animal crossing. Buying it from Best Buy was a great decision because of their convenient and safe curbside pickup.

    I had never played this game and I thought it was just for kids but it’s actually fun and has a lot going in it that makes you have to think a bit and has the fun of games like Sims when it comes to building out your space. No one island is the same.

    This game is lots of fun and it is enjoyable to wake up every day and do something new on your island. However after a few months I found that the gameplay got a bit stale and repetitive, so I never got to try any of the later updates.
