    I've been a long time fan of animal crossing and have played all of the previous entries, but new horizons keeps it fresh. Plenty of new features have been added in, like having more control than ever over decorating the outside of your island, new characters and events, and being able to craft items. The graphics and sounds are beyond detailed and charming, there's so much to enjoy. The game is relaxing and with so many activities and items to unlock, anyone can truly move at their own pace. The only real issues I have are with the online multi player feeling tedious with all of the ridiculous loading screens.

    This game is a literal life saver. It was exactly what was needed when I was stuck at home for three months straight. And it was perfect for interacting with my friends while I wasn't able to see them in person. The gameplay is both simple and complex, and allows for anyone above cognitive-reading age to enjoy! With constant updates and fun contests and time-exclusive items, the game is constantly evolving. And it's easy to pick up and put down, so even on my 15's, I still feel like I was able to do something. :) (One thing to mention though. You only get ONE island PER SWITCH console. If you have more than one person utilizing your switch, you SHARE the island. So if you're looking to have your own island, you'll have to pick up another Switch.)

    The sales and popularity of this franchise speak for themselves. It is of high esteem and high quality in every aapect all the way down to little details. Prepare to be addicted for hundreds of hours with no real end in sight. The whole game is played on a real time clock with a day and night cycle. As seasons change in the real world and in game, so do things to do such as catching different seasonal bugs, fish, and sea creatures. There are also events released all throughout the year to help freshen up each month that passes. It's a game that keeps on giving with a library of content that keeps on affirming it's value. This is a no-brainer must buy for anybody who owns a Nintendo Switch. You're missing out if you don't add it to your collection of greats.

    Fun, Relaxing Game - Good for all ages

    Animal Crossing has always been a fun relaxing game where you can escape reality and create your own space. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons there are plenty of quality of life upgrades but it still has the same feel. Some are trying to rush the game given the current circumstances, but it is a game that is not meant to be rushed. Patience is a big part of this game, so it might not be for everyone. Also, some may see the daily grind as busy work. However, for me ACNH is very relaxing and the hard work pays off in creating a really cool island. I'm one of those people that really enjoys checking off boxes, so this game is my cup of tea. I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for something very low-key, but if you are looking for something action packed, I would look elsewhere.

    Virtual R & R for People of All Ages

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons was/is heralded as one of, if not, the best game to play during this 2020 global pandemic. I can definitely see why/ the mass appeal. It's very simplistic in nature, but, at the same time, very involved, engaging, addicting, and oddly relaxing. Get ready to invest lots of time in this game, especially, if you're the type of gamer who likes to complete/collect everything. Adults will appreciate and/or shake their heads at all the puns/dad jokes, while kids will learn all the game's equivalent of real-life money management (buying/selling goods), building/crafting/customizing, and the stock market (in the form of turnips). All in all, think Sim City + The Sims + Minecraft on a deserted tropical island. Enjoy, everyone.

    This game hit in the perfect storm at the start of Covid. I really liked it, although I've moved onto other titles at this point. There's more than enough to do in this game for the price.

    It's very fun my fiance bought it for both of us and I have been hooked on it while he's at work. It's a great game for any kid 10+ nothing too difficult to learn you actually put recipes together and collect fruits, plants etc.

    We decided to finally jump on the bandwagon and give Animal Crossing a try. Went the Best Buy and….this was the Last hard copy in stock! Got it for my nephew (and myself) for his birthday. We both love playing our Nintendo switches! Great gameplay. Super fun game. Fun for everyone. Definitely recommend.

    My husband bought this game at release (03/25/20) & started playing, I’ve never played any of the Animal Crossing games before and since I don’t play much video games I would just watch him play, after a couple of weeks, I took over his game! & then a couple of months later I decided to buy my own console & game & create my own island. Best decision I made. It’s such an addicting game, you go at your own pace and it’s fun. Game was easy to learn. There is so much to do in the game. I’ve been playing for about a year now, and love the updates, seasonal items that pop up. You sure don’t get bored with this game & it can get time consuming but definitely love playing!

    I love this game. It is so cute and wholesome and villagers sometimes make me laugh out loud. Today (May 1st) is my birthday and the villagers that I've made friends with ACTUALLY THREW ME A BIRTHDAY PARTY! With gifts and everything. I've played the previous games in this series so I understand the mechanics better than someone who hasn't. For example, to avoid getting stung by the wasps, have your net ready then try to catch them. Also you can use their nest to create medicine if you do get stung. I would recommend that if you've never played any games in this series that you watch some YouTube videos to help you.

    I’m 27. I’ve barely played video games, and I’ve never had my own. I was excited to make this my very first one. The controls are easy to learn and every detail in the game is so lovely. The only real goal is to make a world that you like. It barely even feels like a game to me. There is something new to look forward to every single day. It literally gives me a reason to get out of bed during this quarantine monotony. With the sheer amount of content in ACNH, every player is bound to have a totally unique experience. I just love it so much and will undoubtedly be playing for years to come. Everyone in my family has a copy!
