The best one to date. You get to organize your island however you would like, including moving the buildings and landscaping where you would like. Adorable, looks great. Would recommend if you need a chill gaming experience.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a must have! Practically unput-downable (good thing I have some time on my hands)! If you are familiar with the Animal Crossing storyline, New Horizons follows the same general formula with a few fresh twists. Took Nook is back at it again, only this time offering all inclusive vacations to an uncharted desert island in hopes of building a bustling tourist and residential hub. Plays in real time, morning noon and night. Enjoy the seasons. Experience the volatility of island weather. The graphics are beautiful and fun! You will simply get lost in island life as you work to build the best new home you can imagine, for hours at a time! Don’t think twice about it. This will be the best new purchase for your Switch, I guarantee it!

If you have never played Animal Crossing, you have truly missed out on an amazing experience. As an adult, I sincerely enjoy this game, but when playing with my children, I absolutely love it. We have spent countless hours under a big blanket on the couch together traversing the ever-expanding world of Animal Crossing. Buy this game and give the gift of laughter and joy to your entire family.

Every bit as charming as it is addictive. I have enjoyed this game massively during the pandemic. There is always so much to do, and the ease of online functionalities makes socializing with others a joy rather than a must chore. With so many possible neighbors to move in, events that add new aesthetics, building your island how you want and filling it with what you want will make you realize how much there is to do in this game. My one complaint is that a few of the old villagers didn't come back, and there are only 8 new villagers to meet, however if this is your first or maybe 2nd only entry into the series, they will all new to you, or a lot of them will be, so hopefully that won't be an issue for you.

I love this game. It's fun and challenging. It allows you to be creative.

Great game to unwind, relax and build. It has no fights and you only have to keep your temper and patience when hunting/fishing. You start with basic daily tasks and you slowly begin to build up your island with neighbors. It is a collectors paradise, be it clothing, bugs, fish, art, music, recipes, or fossils. Playing the game on different times through the day yield different options. They have seasonal things to do and it’s fun. You can modify your island into your pleasure or just concentrate on making it great. You can have visitors over or visit friend or other islands. Many things to do with this game, just choose your style of gameplay and go. :3

Animal Crossing New Horizons is hands down the best in the series. The game has managed to build and polish above all of the previous titles in the series while also managing to be unique in its own way. The gameplay systems and loops are more rewarding then ever and continue to build at a nice piece (Non Time Traveler here). The photo mode really shows the overhaul of the design of items. It's been one week and I've logged 65 hours of game time, partly due to current events but time well spent. I would add that this game is not for everyone so I would watch/read a variety of views before diving in if you're on the fence. For those who have enjoyed previous titles I'd highly recommend this title.

Great game! Family friendly. The only thing I don’t like is it is in real time. That means I’d an event is happening on Sunday at 7pm, you have to wait for that time and only that time to join.

This is my 1st AC game but it has been such an enjoyable experience all around. Its a game where you set up and help establish a small community on a deserted island. You get to meet and interact with different types of characters and help the island grow. I never thought that a game where you plant vegetation, fish, catch bugs, craft items, and decorate your home/island could be so enjoyable. Its a simple game but its very relaxing and fun to play. It can also be played with others via online/local coop so you can play with friends. Its definitely a great game to play while we're all stuck home and its me hooked. o yourself a favor and give the game a try, you'll end up enjoying it.

My 14 Year old = It is a great game I would think it is a great game if I did not play previous versions in the series. I feel they demoted the villagers to after thoughts. Rather than a true aspect of the game. Afterthoughts= They don't give you task anymore. They are a way of getting items that you need rather than true interactions. My 9 year old Great!!!! The bike ought to be rideable not just furniture. Dad = They are a waste of time, way too expensive and allows them to escape the reality that life is more than games. It does not have sex or violence the only reason I purchase it for a birthday gift.

I'm new to Animal Crossing and thought this game would be similar to Stardew Valley but it's really different. It's just as addictive as Stardew Valley as seasons change, so do resources and events. However, in Animal Crossing you have more creative liberties as you start out on an uninhabited island and have more control over who inhabits the island (villagers) and how the island looks like. Of course, the graphics are more nice in Animal Crossing New Horizon (ACNH) and you can visit friend's island via local play or via online play (if you have the Nintendo subscription service). I highly recommend Stardew Valley as well as it's just as fun and has different components to it.

GREAT GAME FOR ANY AGE. FAMILY FRIENDLY EASY TO INSTALL GREAT CHARACTERS, G RATED FAMILY LOVES IT EVERY FAMILY MEMBERS PLAY IT, GOT FAMILY VISITING FROM OTHER DEVICES EXPLORING OTHER ISLAND GROWING AND FARMING OUR OWN VEGETABLES FISING OUR OWN FOOD, TAKING CARE THE LAND EVEN COLLECTING RECYCLABLES AND POLLUTION IN THE OCEAN (USED TIRES, CANS AND BOOTS) COLLECTING OTHER RESOURCES FROM FAMILY AND OTHER ISLAND, DIGGING AND COLLECTING FOSSILS AND LEARNING WHAT ANIMAL BELONGS TO THE FOSSILE VERY INTERESTING EXPLANATION ON BUGS INSECTS AND FISHES CUTE MUSEUM WHERE ALL THE COLLECTIBLES ARE STORED TO VIEW AND ENJOYED

This is a really satisfying game. Gameplay seems never ending since there is so much you can accomplish. Easy To learn functions/controls. Cute graphics. Hard to put down.

This is a game you play a little (or a lot) each day. You complete tasks and earn money in order to build up and customize your island. Lots of bugs, fish, dino bones, clothing, items to collect. You do need to be patient in order to make progress since game time reflects actual time in real life. Trees grow over several days, projects finish the next day, etc. Great for people looking for casual, stress-free gameplay. Objectives don't change much day to day but you choose how you spend your time whether it's crafting, fishing, catching bugs, digging bones, customizing island. Sandbox game with hardly any consequences.

I've been an Animal Crossing fan since the 1st one came out almost 20 years ago, and this one might be my favorite installment yet. The graphics are smooth and make everything look so cute. The gameplay retains enough of the original game to appeal to old players but has some new features that make it interesting. If it's your first foray into Animal Crossing don't worry about having to play any of the other games first, this is a standalone game and they teach you how to play in the beginning. I ordered it online from Best Buy and it arrived on time the next day. I can't recommend the game enough!

This game has been getting review bombed all over the internet by people who are unhappy with the one island per console and not per user feature. Sure that's not idea for families that share a console and want to create a personal island. But I believe the idea behind that is to get people to play together.Also The game starts slow as it follows a day cycle like our own so you cannot progress too quickly at one time. But that does leave you with more of a feeling of accomplishment throughout your play time. this game is fantastic and looks and runs beautifully. Endless room for creativity and originality.

Physically, everything was great! The gamecard is functional and there was no damage to the container it came in either. So far, I absolutely love New Horizons! The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is smooth. The villagers are really interactive, which I thought was pretty cool. My only complaint is that the online play is really restrictive. You have to purchase the Nintendo online thing to visit other people's islands, send them letters, and become friends. Although I can, not everybody can afford the online service, and I feel that those people are missing out on a really cool part of the game :/

I have been playing Animal Crossing since the Nintendo GameCube. This game is amazing and full of fun. The new individual island and its customizations adds to hours of game time. Some things to note. You can only have ONE island per Nintendo Switch. If you have siblings and they are sharing the console they all will have their own character but only ONE island. Other than that all I can say if you feel like adventuring around whether in your own island or visiting other people's island this game is a must own for any Nintendo Switch user.

Animal Crossing games have had a split history for me. The original was a game type I had never played before. I nice relaxing game with no real end goal; just decorate my house, catch some fish and chat with my lovely animal neighbors. But, since it was on my TV I would tend to play for hours. The handheld games I took the opposite approach, making it a daily routine to play for up to an hour but being just as fun in smaller quantities. This game is both wrapped up in a beautiful bow that is a next generation title. The biggest addition are the many lairs of customization the game offers.

I am playing this game during quarantine and it’s been pretty fun and peaceful. It starts off a little slow, but once you get everything rolling there’s lots of things you can try to accomplish. On some tasks it requires you to wait till the next day, real time, in order for buildings or vice versa to be completed. Some people change the time on their Switch in order to skip the waiting time. I try to play in moderation so it’s a perfect game for me to stop and wait for everything to finish the next day. If you need a game where you can play at your own pace and relax, this is it!
