Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m not sure who was more excited for this release: me or my 7 year old! The gameplay here is pretty straight forward. You’re on an island, and it’s your job to build and populate it how you see fit. The level of detail and the amount of things that you can do is pretty staggering. And it’s all done with a level or adorable that is infectious, which given the times we find ourselves, is a much needed distraction.

This adorable and entertaining new game for Nintendo Switch was purchased as a gift for my 15 year old granddaughter. She had been wanting the game very badly and I not only found it at Best Buy, but it was very reasonably priced as well and included a free gift of a screen cleaning cloth in the style of the Animal Crossing characters. Both my granddaughter and I were extremely pleased with this purchase.

I was never interested in Animal Crossing. I thought it looked silly, and I hated the art style. So I had never given it a shot. My wife loved Wild World for the DS, and so we pre-ordered it for her. I watched her play for 15 minutes and decided to give it a shot. Now I've put like 300 hours into the dang game. Don't buy it unless you're prepared to sink a ton of time into it. Do buy it if you want to have a lot of fun! :)

Have already put in over 250 hours into this game. Worth every penny and is VERY addicting.

I ordered this for my wifes Christmas present with my Best Buy app. It arrived in good time. She loves this game and fonds it strangly addictive. She says she enjoyed the new features.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is about living on a deserted island that you gradually build up to become the Animal Crossing formula you remember. You can change the system clock to binge through the beginning of the game, but after a certain point it becomes regular Animal Crossing. You make the reasons to come back to the game after this point, as the game gives you no other goals from here except to live.

Everyone in our family has been playing, and we're enjoying every bit we can building up our island together and competing to see who can catch the most wildlife and dig up the most fossils!

I love this game really entertaining! It is way different than the pocket camp app way more to do!

It was purchased as a gift and the recipient was a 9 year old boy that was extremely happy to have received it. That makes me believe that it was exactly what it was supposed to be, aside from the fact that it was what he asked for! Lol! As far as the purchasing aspect, because I know nothing about the actual game itself, it was as described and as easy as can be with the curb-side pick up option.

Cant go in public with your friends? Move to an island in this game and make new animal friends to replace your human ones. All other responsibilities will fade from your concern as you build your island to perfection. Fulfill your wildest dream of paying off all your debt Added many quality of life improvements that the previous games did not have. Added a lot of content, like a crafting system, that previous games did not have.

Easy to download and start playing. Hours of fun. Playing with others is easy and fun.

Super cute. Lots of content. This game is why we bought a switch, and it was worth it.

I think it's obvious by now that this is one of the biggest games of 2020. It's a great addition to the franchise. I do wish they would implement some of the features from New Leaf, which is properly still my favorite AC game to date. However, there's been a lot of nice changes in NH that make the game feel fresh, and I've put easily over 400+ hours in this games so I can't complain too much.

Great came for pandemic! Amazing customization, graphics and simplicity for all ages!

I had never played an Animal Crossing game before this one, it's too bad I hadn't gotten into the series sooner! This game is so addicting! It's fun visiting with friends through the game since I'm not able to in person. It's even helped me reconnect with old friends. Recently I built another house on my island so my dad can join in on the fun. He's hooked! It's been a great help during this pandemic, I highly recommend!

After some convincing from friends, I purchased animal crossing new horizons with no previous experience of the animal crossing franchise. The game is adorable and addicting with daily tasks and fun creatures to catch as well as build up your own island with endless customizability! I've had this game for a little over a month now and have over 250 hours logged on the game, can't stress enough how enjoyable and relaxing it is.

My daughter loves this game! Cant put it down. Her first switch

This game is so much fun! I love being able to visit my friends' islands and to customize my own!

Cute, comfy game, hits all of the good points of the Gamecube, Wii, and DS titles with a few cool new features like the Nook Miles system, vaulting across water, terraforming, crafting furniture, and greatly improved character customization, including a very robust custom design system for making your own items. The graphics and sound design are really meticulously crafted and help give everything a unique but familiar aesthetic.

I love this game and I have played most of the Animal Crossing games since the game cube. I love the idea of creating an island just the way you want. Previous games only allowed you to decorate your own house, and maybe build some inclines, bridges, or already designed items. New Horizons builds on that and lets you design almost anything you can think of. I already own a copy of the game, I bought this as a gift.
