    A life simulator where you run your own town on an island. You can visit your friends island and will always have something new to do each day! Light hearted and laid back. One you can pick up anytime not having to worry about where you left off. Also one you can play for a few minutes or a few hours. There are always free updates for it around the holidays adding more hours of new fun to your adventure! Recommend to everyone!

    I have never played an Animal Crossing game before, but this purchase has been totally worth it! There are so many fun aspects - from catching fish/insects and collecting artwork artwork to create a wonderful museum to customizing your house/island down to the last tree. The multiplayer function is not as fun as expected, but this is made up by the fact that you can travel to friends’ islands and visit them. I definitely recommend checking out this game!

    Love love love this game ... buy for at least 8-9 year olds who know how to read ... a lot of reading ... strategizing, teaches about different kinds of animals, builds a BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM and Aquarium! Teaches to be a good resident, barter skills, patience, value of items, build items, build home, decorate home. Teaches how to do hybrid flowers (genetics) even teaches “stalk market” Leans more towards girls but boys will enjoy as well

    I came into this franchise with very little previous knowledge about the series but I was pleasantly surprised with this game. The game's visual design is breathtakingly stunning. The multiplayer mode adds another fun element to the game, although the animation cutscenes do get annoying. One of my favorite aspects of the game is customizing my character and the island with clothes, accessories and furniture. I love how creative the player community gets.

    Addicting way to pass time

    There is A LOT to do in this game. There is no real objective (other than paying off your house), but I think even non-Animal Crossing fans can still enjoy this — especially if you do online play. New Horizons is more forgiving in how you want to place objects, and guest characters visit often enough to keep things interesting. The beginning might feel slow, but afterwards you get quickly get more ways to build your island, which is when it really gets fun.

    This game is everything I wanted in the new Animal Crossing. No micro transactions like the iOS/Android version, which I feared may be added to this new iteration. Coming from the Wild World version, it’s everything I loved there and a lot more! Lots of new little things to keep it interesting! Definitely recommend this if you previously liked Animal Crossing. If you’ve never played and you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, zen-like game to play, this is it!

    Good game, but didn't grab me as much as New Leaf

    I played Animal Crossing: New Leaf for over 2 years, so I knew what the Animal Crossing formula meant as far as gameplay. While I did enjoy New Horizons, it didn't hold my attention nearly as much as it's predecessor. I'm not sure if this is due to lack of content or too much content. The game has lost several NPCs and stores to interact with from New Leaf. At the same time, it throws in busy work with crafting and growing food. So, missing some things from New Leaf while throwing new things in the mix. It's a good game for those who know that this is a game to play a little each day - not for multi-hour play sessions. I just with we hadn't lost some of the charm of the old while adding in the new.

    This game could not have launched at a better time then it did. When I went to pick the game up, the "coronavirus pandemic " was just a twinkle in the United States eye. It was weird because I was in the first "line" since the 6foot rule came into play. Once I got the game home and in my Switch, it help me relax on the Madness our world would soon be going through. Great game, help me get through rough times and makes me happy to play! A must Purchase!

    So I thought it was a good idea to buy my girlfriend the game for her AC LE switch. WRONG she had this game downloading the second it was out and played it within a matter of a few hours. I will come home from work wanting to talk to her but... there she is, on AC. I will come home and she will either be searching for new residents to live on her island, digging rivers or becoming the next real estate tycoon. Overall - I dislike it. SHE LOVES IT
