    Animal Crossing is a Lifestyle!

    This is the game you didn’t think you needed if you’ve never been introduced to this franchise! May be simple and repetitive if you’re not familiar with the style of play and goal of the game! But New Horizons will consume so much of your time and due to Covid it’s something we have a lot of! Build your island to your liking, maintain it, and visit others! Sounds simple, but it’s so much more! Have to play it to understand! It’s a lifestyle!

    The pandemic will forever give this game a sense of nostalgia, so I hope it never dies. It helped many people including myself get through a very difficult time! The opportunities for creativity are endless, proving not every game needs linear storytelling or conflict.

    new fun animal crossing game

    Great addition to the mainline Animal Crossing games. Lets you make changes to your island and previous activities. Downside is anyone who is not 1st player cannot move the main game along. Only the 1st player can do that so it can be a bit annoying unless you can figure out with friends/family how to rotate around this. Comparing this to New Leaf it does not have all activities at this time. So it feels a little bit limited if used to playing previous titles.

    Defining Game for the Switch

    I don't own any other game that has been as versatile as this one. It can be something to do just do a daily 20-30 minutes on, but also a game that I can binge for hours at a time. My girlfriend has enjoyed it as a long-time player of the franchise, and I've enjoyed it as my first Animal Crossing game. This game has a blend of satisfying visuals, engaging play, and replayability that I believe will make this a defining game of the Switch era.

    I bought this game as a gift and after a month and a half of play the game just gets better! This game is fun to people who love to play simple tasked games. The game is entertaining and relaxing. The game offers a satisfying feel. The only con of the game really is that you have to share an island if there is only one consul in the house hold but even that the team work sometimes helps you progress in the game faster. Over all a great game and a great buy!

    I got this game for my girlfriend during COVID and she loves it. I wasn't sure how she'd respond because she usually sticks to puzzle games on her phone, but I think this game transcends traditional gaming barriers. She calls her sister and they visit each others islands and are sometimes on the playing together for hours. I think this really helps distract from what's going on, and definitely helps her not get too much "cabin fever". Would recommend.

    My wife loved this game This is the first game she has ever got. We have a nintendo switch but she never used it until we got this game What an incredible and relaxing game it has been! So good to play between couples or family, with much different quests and things to do so you can never get bored. I suggest also to get the nintendo online membership, because there's a new way of sharing and getting important in game experience

    What a great game, super immersion, addictive, and fun. Visiting friends is a great feature and I love being able to see how others have done things different them I did. I wish the pice would go down but with how popular it is that may never happen.

    I’ve played the Animal Crossing games since the first one. It include things from here game before it to make the best one yet. The only issue I have is sharing one island with another person leaves the second person out of many Fun tasks you get to do to upgrading the island.

    Animal Crossing has been a staple in Nintendos repertoire since Nintendo 64 (in Japan). It took root on Game Cube here in the states. But every iteration increases variety complexity and pushes everything up to the top notch. New Horizons is no different. Its fixed everything from the Wii version and definitely surpasses the DS darling. If you are a Switch owner you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. You'll have your village up and lively in no time!!

    Ive been playing animal crossing since 2005 when it came out on the original Nintendo DS system. This newest one on the Switch is amazing. I didn’t think they would go as far as they did with the endless customizations, but they did! I think it’s a game for everyone because it’s a game you play in your own way. You can play online with friends and you can play solo by yourself. I recommend to anyone who is buying a switch or has a switch to buy this game, too.

    This game has been the perfect escape during quarantine. I even bought a second copy for a friend! I was a big fan of the last Animal Crossing and the developers have put so much love and work into New Horizons. Many friends who are new to Animal Crossing are absolutely hooked! The detail of animals' fur and landscape is really beautiful and even the sounds they recorded just make the whole game come to life. It's so peaceful and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
