    I played older iterations of animal crossing and I've always loved the franchise. This most recent game doesn't disappoint! I really love the crafting component which was added in, and the ability to change almost every part of your island is a great addition! I think there's enough to make it clearly related to the older games, but also enough new things to keep people engaged. Exactly the escapism I needed during this time.

    This has been my first animal crossing game. I've played Stardew Valley and my boyfriend said I'd probably like this game too. I can't put it down, that might be a bad thing! I actually love the real time clock on this game. You can play in the morning, put it down and pick it up in the evening for a whole new vibe. This has been the best thing for social distancing, especially as I'm still able to visit other friends islands.

    My wife used to tell me “you will never get me hooked on a video game”...enter Animal Crossing. We are both newbies to the series, but the time that we have put into this game (the pandemic probably contributed a lot to that) has more than made this worth the money. Perfect for any free time we might have, building our island together has been a blast. I speak for both of us when I say this is highly recommended!

    I’ve been playing the game for a few days now and I absolutely adore it! Being stuck at home during the quarantine may cause boredom, but the game is there to relieve that! The game is peaceful and fun, it lets you show off your creativity when designing your island, and can be played for as long as you desire, as it has no set ending. The graphics and Music are absolutely stunning and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

    Recently decided to buy into the trend of animal crossing that I had seen spreading over the internet. Must say I am not disappointed. The game has managed to captivate my entire household with a zen-like experience. If you're looking to achieve some kind of fun and relaxation during these trying times I recommend this game. If you're just looking for something to do I'd also recommend it. I recommend it to almost anyone!

    For all the animal crossing lovers, this is another win! I love that there's the ability to really customize your island, from pathways, fencing, and outright changing the landscape! The nook miles is a cool new feature where you can complete tasks and redeem them for other cool items. It has the classic islanders and features we all know and love with the addition of some really cool stuff!

    Fun game, my daughter likes it and I got a second copy to trade items with her. That’s not exactly a good thing... The reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because Nintendo purposely made this game to require trading with other people online to get all the variations of items. If you wanted the blue cotton candy machine too bad, you’re stuck with the black one with no way to get the blue one, ever. Each island only gets one theme for items, if you don’t like yours then restart the game. We restarted the game maybe 10 times, but you can’t find out what colors you’re stuck with until a few days into the game. I know some people “time travel” with the game system clock, but we shouldn’t have to do all that to build our island how we like. I’m hoping Nintendo patches in the option to edit furniture/item colors the same way you can with some of the tools you craft.

    Ive never played a Animal Crossing game before so I was hesitant to buying this but after some convincing from some friends i purchased the game and I’m glad i did. This game is truly is fun when you just sit back a relax. I haven’t played any other games lately because I’ve been having such a great time with the game. If your looking for a game that you can just casually play and have a good time this is the game for you!!!

    I have never played any previous Animal Crossing game before this, but after playing this one, I feel I may have missed out on something great in my earlier years. The game is easy and creative and perfect for simply winding down and boosting your dopamine and endorphins, especially if you have friends to play with. If you are on the more creative side, this game can last you a lifetime for sure, no doubt.
