Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great game to play to help pass the time and calm yourself. You can play this at your own pace and with friends locally and online. This has been a great way to pass the time while under quarantine and still have fun with friends.

So much fun, lots of upkeep though so make sure you have time to check in each day!

This game keeps getting better and better. I had the original back in the day but, with the upgrade to the graphics and game play it's a experience you won't put down anytime soon.

This game is great for everyone. Being able to set furniture outside opens up many possibilities to build your dream island. The environment is very calming. The sound design is great! Feels like you’re there at the island. Expanding your island with new villagers and shops is very satisfying. Watching it all come together as the the ideas keep flowing. However I wish the face design was around the whole face. This game is a laid back and expressive game. The more creative your ideas are, the more fun you will have. And the ideas come naturally with all the tools you are provided. You’ll get even more tools later in the game. The developers really put a lotta effort. You can customize almost everything even tiny details on cups and plates and stuff. Sucks that the data is ties to the switch. Other than that, it’s awesome! :)

Perfect for kids and adults. My wife and my 4 year old daughter love to spend rainy days in at home growing flowers, collecting bugs, and building their town. But don't be fooled, this is not a kids game. My daughter can't read, and even if she could there is a LOT of text when it comes to learning how these work around the island. But once we explain what needs to be done she gets the hang of it. We are grateful for this game bringing us all a little closer together as we work towards completing bug, fossil, and fish collections at the museum, laying down roads to connect our houses, and helping the other islanders solve their problems. Animal Crossing has always been great and this entry is no exception.

I'm new to Animal Crossings so I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this iteration of the game. It's a daily obsession/ritual for me now. It's pleasant, sweet, beautiful, calming and grounding. What more can I say? I highly recommend it.

Reminds me of my childhood. I’m so happy. From the moment is started up and Mr. Nook spoke.

I questioned if this game was worth its price at first. I spent the first month of having it not playing it, but now I can’t stay away. It’s like the sims but cuter. Great for kids and adults. It’s a relaxing mind game.

Anyone that has a switch needs to get this game its amazing. You get to build your own island and customize it however you want. You can also pick who gets to be in your island. The graphics are also amazing and a huge step up from 3ds.

Looking for the ultimate time-killer everyone in the family can pickup and play? Look no further! If you've ever played an Animal Crossing, the latest iteration in the series is a no-brainer purchase which expands on everything the previous games have done to date. If you're new to the series, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. It's an honest question which can't be answered unless you give the game a try - and then you can expect to pour 100 hours or better into "beating" the main objective. However, there's no push to do anything you don't want to with this game, which is the main appeal. You can pick it up, spend ten minutes or ten hours with it - then pass of the Switch to your spouse or one of the kids (I have a six-year-old who is a whiz at it). Highly recommended.

Love this game. The graphics are unbelievable. Plenty of gameplay so you won't be bored. It's a fun mixture of the old AC games with some new things. Best animal crossing game yet, and best game I've bought for the switch. Highly recommend

This is a very fun and addicting game. The characters are very kid friendly and the game play is very easy. This game is suitable for all ages and allows you to tap into your creativity.

It has kept me busy during this tough pandemic and I never get bored of it. The graphics, the characters, the shops, the activities, they’re all so enjoyable that you’re never gonna love a game as much as this one. 10/10, LOVE this game.

A LOT pf people were hyping this game up, so of course I fell for the peer pressure and bought it too. Its a good game for passing time, easy to get lost in game itself, and all of a sudden your alarm clock is going off and its time to get up for work. Parents beware, your kids will likely be up all night playing it, and be cranky when you wake them up for school. Or your boss will get mad at YOU for not making it to work on time. Dont say I didnt warn you! But if youre willing to risk the potential financial burden of losing your job because youre dedicating all of your time to this game, i highly recommend it. High risk, high reward.

Animal Crossing has been a sentimental game since I was first introduced through the gamecube version, and AC has come a long way. I love it! The graphics, multiplayer flying option, is so cool! It's a chill game where all you do is vibe.

This is my first animal crossing game and I'm obsessed. It's very relaxing, yet tons of fun, and it's been played every day so far since release. The only flaw I've come across so far is the approach to multiple users and co-op play. Most people are aware that the premise of this game is that you move to a deserted island and make it your home. A drawback for a lot of people is that there is only ONE island per Nintendo Switch. This means if you have several people who want to play the game on the same system, they will all live on the same island. I was aware of this going in, and was fine with it. My girlfriend and I have been creating and living on pur island together and it's great. However, not all island residents seem to be created equal. The first user who boots up the game and creates a character gets the title of "Resident Representative". This person carries most of the authority for the progression of the island. Only they will be able to take tasks, place new buildings, and choose where to put things like bridges and ramps. For my situation, this hasn't been a big issue as my girlfriend and I play and make the decisions together, it's just that she needs to be the one to put those decisions in place. It leaves my character feeling like just another resident, a little less important to the island. So, naturally, one would start to want their own island, one where they have the main authority over everything. And then you remember that's impossible. One island per Switch. That's the rule, and it doesn't seem likely to change. So let's say one day my girlfriend gets her own Switch and wants her own island too. Then I could have my own island on my Switch too, but it would have to be at the cost of deleting our joint island, which we've both grown attached to already. The game is thoroughly enjoyable, but I think people should be aware of potential problems when it comes to multiple island residents and save files.

These games were never on my radar, I play shooters and rpg's mainly like the Witcher and the like. My wife got into and convinced me to try it. I am loving it so far and initially wrote it off as something I wouldn't like. If you enjoy games such the Sims, pokemon, and games such as minecraft or terraria that require collecting, tons of loot and crafting you will enjoy this. While there is no true combat other than the occassional wasp nest or turantula, there is a ton of customization and charm. For me, I listen to a podcast in my headphones and play this with sound off as a way to unwind and relax before bed. It is very open-ended and lets you to play the way you want. For me I love the farming and gardening as well as the collecting of rare bugs, my wife loves the decorating and customizations aspect.

This game is amazing! I love how entertaining it is to go fishing, collect fruit, catch bugs, interact with adorable fellow islanders, and design your entire island. I am not a huge gamer, but I find myself playing hours on this game.

My inner child is so so happy. This game is stunning and they thought of everything! So much to do and customize, you can play the game at your own speed, your own way. It has an amazing online community as well if you play that way!

So much content here. This game is perfect for casual gamers. Very relaxing and so much to do, especially when you play with friends and family. Highly recommended for anyone, except possibly more hardcore gamers.
