    This is the 1st Animal crossing game i ever played and i love it. There are endless possibilities the sky is the limit with this game! You can visit friend's islands that you know have this game, you can share items, fruits, clothing ect..with your online friends to help each other progress in the game. There is so much to do like fish, catch bugs, talk to island residents, build houses, create a city or country or whatever you wish! Cant say enough of how fun this game is. Try it you will not regret it!

    My son wanted the “fishing game” as soon as my sister in law showed it to him. I searched every store for availability but with the Covid19 situation I was unable to find it in stores. BestBuy had it in stock with free shipping and it even came a few days early! My son LOVES this game! He is four and can play independently if he wants or he can ask us for help if he wants us to be involved in what he is doing. Highly recommend this game! (This coming from someone who isn’t a fan of video games in general!!)

    Bought this for my kids for their second switch as I had the digital copy for the first switch. This is a very cute game that never ends meaning kids stay engaged and have fun for a long time. Nintendo keeps putting out new updates also which keeps this fun. This is worth far more in entertainment value than its sticker price.

    If you want something thats relaxing and nice, this is the game for you. I've been playing this series since the original on Gamecube, but this is probably the best of the series so far. I'd start up the game expecting to spend maybe 30 minutes in the session... but when I'd look up it would be time for bed. Its quite addicting building up your little island and relationships. i will say that the game does take several real days to really open up and get fully into though. So be prepared for a slow start.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons couldn’t have been released at a better(worse) time. Whether it’s crafting, terraforming your island, fishing, catching sea creatures, chatting with neighbors, excavating fossils, or catching bugs, there are endless ways to occupy your time on your own island. Online play with friends is exciting, as you are able to visit and play on one another’s islands. The in game chat feature is probably the only real complaint. This is an excellent quarantine distraction.

    Really creative game w/ some confusing limitations

    Overall this is a really cute and creative games. I haven't played much yet, but my kids love it. It is a bit disappointing that it's not possible to have separate Islands on the same Switch. Even if you are ok with sharing, only one player can do everything on an island every one else is some what limited. It's also unfortunate that there is no way to back up or transfer the save for this game to another Switch. Nintendo says it's coming, but the game has been out over month with no news about this.

    If you have ever played Animal Crossing and enjoyed it then you will love this one. It is the best of all the ones that have been made. There is more to do than all the previous games and there are more updates continuing to add content. The game is set on an island that you develop. You make friends with the animals that live there and more will move into your village as you progress. There is a lot of customization and it's a lot of fun. A cute game that is appropriate for all ages.

    The newest installment of AC fixes a few flaws of the older games. Being able to move buildings around and place furniture is a lovely touch and makes creating your island a far more unique experience than prior games. The new ability to craft and use nook miles rather than just using bells for everything also adds new gameplay elements that aren't strictly based on in game capitalism. By far my favourite game in the series thus far, I haven't put it down since I picked up my preorder! Highly recommend!!

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons provides a fun and relaxing escape into your own private island, allowing you a large amount of freedom in how you spend your days on that island. While the game does ask a fair bit of patience from its players at the start, it opens up immensely for those who do, giving a rewarding gameplay experience that not many other titles can. Whether you're new to the series or you've played every single Animal Crossing before, this is perfect for Switch owners of all ages.

    Bought this game for myself buy my fiance won't put it down it's her game at this point, the game is extremely addicting especially once you power through the first few hours of sluggish nonsense trust me people just bear with it and the reward will be well worth the slow start of this game I would recommend that every Switch owner have this game just like I do for Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, the Zelda games, and Mario Odyssey this is just one of those you must have if you love your Switch.
