    I never played until this version and my girlfriend asked me to play. Very easy to get into and can be taken at your own pace. My only gripe is that so many things are sensitive to the true time of day and I don’t like to “time travel” (as the community calls it).

    I have always loved Animal Crossing games,! This game brings back the classic feel of Animal Crossing New Leaf from the DS, but with a great Switch upgrade! There is so much to customize! A great way to relax!

    Shades of (Relaxing) Pandemic Life

    I love this game, but it holds the title of being the pandemic game to me. At the time, we couldn't go to the store without fear of getting sick. Couldn't go to the movies. Couldn't go anywhere. We turned to games and if you were lucky enough - you got this game right before everything started to close down. I'll be honest, I haven't played this game since those times. I feel like I'll get flashbacks, but the real reason I haven't played it since then - I got bored. Don't get me wrong, still a game and definitely worth the price. If you have little ones, this is a great distraction game. The game play is simple and enjoyable by all ages. Being a middle aged man, I enjoyed it every weekend for about 2 months before I pretty much stopped playing it all together. There is no challenging game play here and the play seems to crawl to a snails pace at times. Characters are fun to interact with and the support from Nintendo on this game makes it well worth the buy. My only make a break complaint on this game? Main gameplay has to be tied to 1 account. Meaning if your kid starts an island up, your character's progression is tied to how far they can get. You'll find yourself playing as your kid's (or significant other's) character just to progress through the story and unlock everything in the core game. If you want a good relaxing game - get this. You won't be disappointed!

    Best Family Gift I’ve ever bought

    We bought as gift for the grandkids, but it’s become an addictive family game and costing nights of lost sleep! Mom & Dad (37 & 44) play w kids 11, 7 & 4 — and the n’hood tweens come over to play! It captures everyone & the competition goes on with who has the best house, who has more stuff, who scored the most — & these are just the conversations in the car, after school or at dinner w the game turned off! I’ve never given anything that captured THIS much of Family time! We bought 2 more pro controllers (better for the 10 & olders). This game has so many levels & ways and to compete that it does not grow old. They have 3 games & this vm is their fav, hands down.

    The game is amazingly beautiful, fun, easy to approach. It's multiple times more fun if you either play with your friends locally or online. Highly recommended it to either fans of the franchise or new comer.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a great game, and I truly recommend this game for users who have patience and enjoy games that are for calming the soul. It's very addicting, and you have many options of what to do in the game. The only downside is that you can only have one island, and sometimes some of the characters talk too much (like Isabelle). Other than that, it's a really addicting game and I truly recommend it. Love it!

    ACNH was my very first AC game to play and its great for first timers who are new to Animal Crossing. This game came in clutch during the lockdowns we had during 2020 and I had already pre-ordered this game so I was very much invested into it. Its a very casual game to play anytime/anywhere, there's so much to do and so much you can invent and design on your own! Its great for all ages, young and old to enjoy this game. I highly recommend it especially if you enjoy character and world customization. The soundtrack is also very soothing and therapeutic for the gameplay.

    This is a great addition to the animal crossing series with new additions that makes this game even more addicting than the series already was. There are no longer daily tasks that are one and done. Instead the tasks are unlimited, once you complete one of five, another appears. There are new creatures not seen in the series before, too, along with new ways to explore that are always randomized. Overall its a great experience for all ages.

    I’m not a gamer but I’m really enjoying this game. The controls are easy, no crazy combinations of buttons to perform something. You land on this not-exactly-deserted deserted island and build your life. You collect things: weeds, rocks, oranges, sticks and you can either sell them for money to buy things or you can craft things. Like a fishing pole from sticks. You can garden or sit on the beach or trade in your tent for a cabin, then decorate it. The music is relaxing, the pace is relaxing, and the other people and critters on the island are friendly and helpful. I know it doesn’t sound like much but it’s a great way to chill at the end of the day

    I have never played animal crossing before and I purchased this partially due to the hype and partially due to my love of MySims DS. The mechanics can be mildly frustrating at times but once you get the hang of it and unlock different tools it plays well. I’ve already logged over 100 hours (when I should have been studying for my classes). The main downside for me is not being able to transfer save data to a new console since my ACNH Switch got here a couple weeks after my game. I had to restart altogether. The one island per console thing sucks but I loved it so much that I bought my girlfriend a switch and the game so we could play together. Not that it is practical for most people. The multiplayer is sorta playable.

    This game came out not too long ago and at first I was skeptical of getting it as I have never played into an Animal Crossing before. Seeing the growing popularity of this new title in the series and the massive amount of positive reviews I chose to purchase this and after playing for a week or so I can say that I’m happy with my purchase. Aesthetically this game is perfect from the visual animation style to the gentle calm music. The gameplay is more slower paced but it makes everything you do in the end feel more impactful and rewarding in the long run. If that’s not your style then I don’t recommend getting this game especially if you’re mostly used to FPS shooters or games that are more faster paced.

    Animal Crossing is what's known as a Sandbox game. Meaning you do what you want at your own pace. You can tend to your island, collect furniture to deck out your house, collect bugs/fish/fossils and a whole lot more. The scenery and activities you can do change daily with even more drastic changes coming each month, so there's always going to be something for you to discover. You can even sink hours into making designs to personalize your house, island, or clothes. There is just so much to do in this game. It's slow paced and fun. Just a high quality title by Nintendo. There's a reason this game is a smash hit. You will not be disappointment picking this up. People of any age or skill level will be able to enjoy it.

    Addicting Island Exploring and Building

    Got hooked and play this all the time. Even after "beating" the game...which it sort of considers getting a 3 Star Island and K.K. visiting...I still keep going and getting more. Goals now are keeping a 5 Star island and collecting everything. This was actually a copy for my 2nd Switch, so other family members can join an island and visit each other to do even more along with trading items. I wish the Local Network connection was more stable and stayed in sync. First time we played with it we spent two hours helping each other then it disconnected and we lost everything. The Online play which requires the Family Plan seems to cache on their servers and not have issues unless someone disconnects wrong or their battery goes dead. I think they could have done it better on the Local Network too, but chose to optimize the one you have to give them money for. I have a Gigabit local network which should be faster and more stable than both devices connecting to an outside internet server to communicate when 5 feet from each other and we even got ethernet adapters to rule out Wifi issues.
