    Best Investment I've made. Whole family plays everyday. My only disappointment is that the game only allows one island per Switch.

    I had never played animal crossing in the past I was familiar with the franchise but it never interested me. After seeing a lot of people posting stuff online I decided to get the game, I've been hooked. I actually had to buy two copies because my six year old stole my first copy. Each system get one island layout. You decide where you are going to build houses and stores. You have many opportunities to do tasks to get the in game currency to build up your island. It's a simple mindless game with hours upon hours of play time.

    This game is so fun , as expected. Quite different from the others, but most all of the same "animals". Will be entertaining for some time.

    I haven’t played Animal Crossing since New Leaf, but I used to play that religiously as a child. While this one is definitely different, I still really love it! Building your own island from the ground up is pretty cool! And it was released at the best time to allow me to really go all in. Stay safe and socially distance!

    I've never heard of Animal Crossing until my Instagram feed and twitter feed was full of screenshots of the game so I had to see what it was all about. I instant fell in love with the game. Very easy to play and I'm not a huge gamer myself. I even got my other friends to play too! (We are all in our late twenties lol) That's the thing about this game, it can be for anyone! Honestly, I would love to say so much about this incredible life changing game but I don't want to spoil the fun for the others! Highly recommend!

    This game is a life simulator from doing everyday task to build your island from cutting down trees, fishing, upgrading your stores and getting people to live on you island. This game is slow paced but very rewarding when you put your time in your island. This game cannot be beat it needs to be taken 1 day at a time, i usually play about an hour a day maybe a bit more it depends on whats going on in my island. Its a fun life simulator can even be played with your friends that also have the game but its still good by yourself.

    Since the start of the pandemic, this game has been the glue that held my social circle together. It has allowed me, friends, and family to stay connected on the phone while we do nice favors for eachother in Animal Crossing. We can even get closer than 6 feet in the game!! I love Animal Crossing, and this is coming from someone who thought it would be for kids. It's the ultimate life simulator, and is extremely easy to play. Classic Nintendo, making an extremely user friendly and fun to play game. Definitely a must own

    I'm not going to lie fore some reason I think I like this game more than my kids do. Don't tell anyone. It really is a fun little builder game, plenty to do and keep you entertained. Some areas of long dialog boxes --being able to read helps but my 6 year old can figure it out. 1 warning--While it's multiplayer, really it is one player profile that unlocks everything. The others have most of the full game experience but really you are just living on the island of the key profile

    It’s a lot of fun, I’ve really been enjoying it! I share my island with my younger brother and we enjoy playing together at the same time. I know people say sharing the island is stressful but I guess my brother and I are already used to sharing things anyways. It’s very calming and entertaining, I especially like the freedom it gives the players to customize their island how they like it. I plan on buying the online membership so I can visit my friends island since we can’t see each other irl.

    I only started playing Animal Crossing a year ago on a 3DS, and while that was nice, this feels right. Of course it still has the same idea, but the way it was executed is perfect. The graphics are so beautiful, it's exactly what AC needed. Since I don't share my Switch, it's no issue for me that there is only one save file allowed per Switch. Not per account, per Switch. Which is unfortunate for a family or a couple. I have no personal issues with it myself and highly recommend it to anyone just starting or a long-time fan!

    This is my first Animal Crossing game of the franchise. My girlfriend is a big fan and we play it together. There is the ability to play the game couch co-op, but we mainly take turns playing the game. This game isn't just for kids as there is a following of all ages. There's a lot to do and sometimes it does get repetitive. Online play with friends is fairly stable when you want to visit each other's island or other people's islands through a code. Good humor and very enjoyable in the game. Definitely worth the investment.

    Anyone looking for a great relaxing game to spend time with family and friends, this is it. Animal Crossing is a no consequence game designed for hours of relaxing play to build and populate your deserted island with a myriad of arriving residents. You just build and craft your island to support the residents and make bells(money). This have had brought entertainment to my entire family. You can play online an have other players visit your island as well. Plenty to do in the new stay at home environment.

    This game is perfection. Being that it is more therapeutic than wonder bread, more relaxing than Bob Ross, and more sensational than a newborn fox, nothing can compare. This game could go into history books with the text "This game soothed the minds, hearts, and souls of millions." Thank you Animal Crossing. I nominate each and every person who worked on the game, and Tom Nook, for a Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you.
