Customer Ratings & Reviews

The whole family loves this game; it's simple, sweet, and with the new content there is so much to do it doesn't get boring. NPC interactions are a little limited and repetitive, but it's easy to get into a groove playing it and just do what you enjoy and take on challenges when you want to. Would not recommend for non-readers since a lot of interactions are not clear based on context.

Fun game. I bought a digital copy for my kid, found out you can only have one island per console, and if you have a lite, you can only play one player at a time, so I couldn’t play along with them. I bought a second console, you can play with the digital copy, but only under the person that purchased the software unless you change it to your primary console, and then it disables ability for second person (ie the kids account) from playing on the light. AND you can’t play console to console local play unless you have a second copy. I don’t want her having rando people visiting their island, and really wanted to have a visitor, so I caved and bought a second copy so we could. Kind of a pain, so be aware. You can play together at the same time on local console play with a single regular switch console, but play is limited for the other players not designated as the ‘leader’. But it is a fun game to play

Fun game that my daughter has been enjoying. Doesn't really seem like a game the whole family can get into.

Fun game that have hours of gameplay. Easy game enough to just pass the time if you aren't looking to stress yourself out trying to beat bosses or level up. the only negative thing is that you can only play that one game. Can't play multiple new games. I'm sure that's most people's complaint. Other than that it's worth it.

Christmas gift was a success. My wife is obsess with the game.

Very fun game my kiddo plays it all the time fun for everyone.

A true gem. Feels a bit barebones compared to New Leaf, but consistent updates and free content will push it far.

I've been a big fan of Animal Crossing since Wild World. The promise of New Horizons was actually enough to make me buy a switch! The game is amazing and absolutely worth it. Gorgeous visuals, fun new concepts different than the previous games, etc. The only drawbacks come down to Nintendo greed. Not only can you only have one island per game, you can only have one game per console, making it so that you have to have a different switch for every island (terrible for families.) There is also drawback to visiting friends' islands. Previously, traveling was a free feature, but now (according to what I've read) you have to have a Nintendo Online subscription for long distance travel. Really all horrible decisions on Nintendo's part. Otherwise, a perfect game.

This game was one of the few bright spots in 2020 for me. I've played it over 700 hours since March 20th, and absolutely love love love the creativity, uniqueness, and overall joyfulness it provides. This is a fantastic game for kids and adults alike. I especially like the seasonality of it — the game never gets stale since the environment is constantly changing. Highly recommend on all fronts, and I'd give this 10 stars if I could.

I'm a dude. I play a lot of Battlefield, COD, Fighting Games, FPS, Racing games etc. I can't believe that I have played this game for over 300hrs since I purchased it (Via a year end email from Nintendo). It's a slow burner, but it's great for like an hour a day, and there is always something to do. I play with my gf (her island) and honestly, it's brought us closer as gaming friends and partners and saved our 2020. Fantastic game

This game is awesome!! I love playing this game and going on adventures.

This game has been a life saver during COVID lockdown. It's so calming to play either by yourself or with others. It's also a great source of satisfaction and fulfillment when the real world is proving difficult. I love the fact that the game operates in real time. It gives you something to look forward to and keeps you coming back day after day to see what's new. All ages will enjoy this game and find an activity in it that calls to then. Cannot recommend enough!

I love this game. It has made the pandemic a lil easier. This game has bought out my creativity.

Totally awesome graphics, gnarly gameplay and a radical story. Its Excellent!!

Definitely hands down switch game of the year so far. Keeps updating with numerous events throughout the calendar year to keep players busy and interested. Fun and appropriate for all ages and teaches lesson on diligence and hard working to upkeep your own island. Seeing growth from deserted island to a fully populated island by inviting over guests and villagers keep things dynamic with programmed AI for each players that have independent characteristics.

This game is amazing honestly one of the best games I’ve played in a while beautiful design and gameplay love the idea of being able to create an entire island community from scratch just get an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction watching you island community grow and being able to add new life to it daily this game is a 10/10 for me definitely worth buying for anyone out there who can’t decide if they should get it or not I guarantee you will not be disappointed

Daughter loves it. Graphics are pretty good for a switch game. There's hours of content.

Great game if you like this sort of thing. Very solid with a lot to do.

It’s really good, you can visit your friends island, and customize your whole island if you wanted to.

great game for all ages... fun, good graphics, easy to learn and play with other on-line friends
