Customer Ratings & Reviews

How do I put it into words? This game is amazing. For fans of Animal Crossing, you'll love this. For newcomers, if you like taking nothing and building it into something, you might like this. You start from scratch in this game, with nothing but a tent, a resident services, 2 villagers, and an empty island. It takes your efforts to make something out of this island, and the more work you put in, the more you get out. Getting that bridge feels amazing because you know how much hard work went into it. Your beautiful lawn is all the more beautiful because you made it yourself. Excellent game, can't recommend enough. The perfect zen experience.

So let me start off by saying that I never really buy anything game related or from Best Buy at all in general. When this game started taking over the internet, it was impossible to find (only digital was available everywhere) I needed the physical copy because when I get a lite I want to be able to play with that and take it with me. Sadly the coral isn’t available but that’s okay because I can wait. Now Originally it was going to take two weeks to ship to my house but, is took less then a week! The checkout process was fast and easy and getting to my house sooner than later really made my day! Will FORVER now be buying things from Best Buy

I'm a 35 yr old who never played any Nintendo games till 2018 when I bought my Switch and Zelda BOTW. I had a high level of curiosity about AC since I read that we play it in real world time and we can keep playing it for years. At this stage in my life, this is the kind of game that suits my lifestyle, so I picked up this game and a Switch Lite just so I can game anywhere anytime(I know the OG Switch is portable as well, but its relative bulk prevented me from carrying it everywhere). And I'm enjoying Animal Crossing much more than I expected too, especially because I just could not get into Stardew Valley. The changing season bringing with it its own variety of flaura and fauna is so much fun. At times waiting few days to collect enough items to unlock a next stage does feel like a grind, but I still have fun while doing it. My biggest complain would be the lengthy repetitive dialogues delivered by some characters every time I initiate an interaction with them becomes a pain overtime. Why do I need to hear Blathers explaining he is a night owl every time I'm doing him a favor by donation stuff during daytime? And what the hell is wrong with Nintendo about not making cloud backup available for this game? Why am I not allowed to play this both on my OG Switch and my Switch Lite if I want to? All these complaints apart, this is definitely a game that I expect to keep playing casually for a few years.

Overall great game! Plenty of fun to be had and lots to do to pass the time.

The graphics are so much better than previous animal crossing games and there is alot of customization options. The game is getting regular updates and is quite relaxing.

Great game. My daughter plays it with her family and friends online. She really enjoys creating things and all the special events the game has throughout the year.

Great game for kids and adults. My 5yr old loves the characters and setting up her own little town. Its been a great bonding experience.

Decided to hop on the Animal Crossing train and honesty do not regret. It’s been really fun and relaxing to play. I really like how creative you can be with designing stuff.

This game is and steal your life kind of game that you can just... play and forget your real world worries for a while. Perfectly worth your money if yiu want that escape.

I have played this game nonstop, and love it! So much content, and they keep adding free content to the game monthly. So fun, and easy to play. Very relaxing, and fun!

Not just for the kids!! Animal crossing appears very cutesy on the surface, but the game has a lot to offer in terms of depth and complexity to both experienced and new gamers alike. Animal crossing has to be by far the best game to put in the hands of a brand new gamer. I recently purchased an ACNH Switch Console for my girlfriend who is certainly not a gamer… she’s easily logged 15 hours in the game over the course of the last few evenings and has already begun researching other games she may enjoy playing on her new switch.

1st timer to the series and I can say this is very addicting. There are endless things to do and collect everyday kind of like pokemon and a farming game. Highly recommended

Really a great overall game. Easy to play and not hard for people of any age! If you are thinking of getting the game I would just pull the trigger and get it. Don’t wait

This has got to be the cutest game I have played. Addictive.

Great game lots of customization of your island. Plenty of content added through updates. Online is nice to visit other islands and get ideas for your own island.

Great game for the whole family! Entertaining for sure and enhances creativity. Worth the money.

This game is very fun to play because you have an endless amount of things to do. This is one of my favorite games of all time! I love the graphics and all of the characters.

Bought this for the family and it is really just a simple strategy: harvest items, perform tasks, and build out your custom island. Easy play and easy to lose track of time.

Really great game, its like fantasy life. If i had to give it a genre it would be like a slice of life. Play an hour or so per day and continue next day same thing. Smooth and slow but i actually advanced a lot in a day so its not hard. I love how cute it is and managing your own island is pretty sweet.

This game is a slow burn but in the best way possible. The game is what you make it, literally speaking in some cases. You can put in hours on end or just a few minutes at a time picking fruit and digging for fossils. There's always new visitors to your island with new things to buy, and events and updates from Nintendo always keep things fresh. If you've loved Animal Crossing games in the past, you know what you're getting into and this is the best one yet. If you're new to the franchise, this is the perfect game to jump into. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for the perfect time suck during quarantine!
