    If you have never played it you'll think is is boring looking or not worth it. Once you get started it is a bit slow but once it gets going you want to check it all the time to see what's new. Some days it may not be a game you will play for multiple hours but it will be a game you come back to daily. Great for this corona virus quarantine

    I have never played any animal crossing game before and I am so glad I finally decided to check this out. This is such a fun game!! I’m sorry I didn’t pick it up sooner. Building out your island, customizing your character and taking part in seasonal events are so fun! It’s no wonder people can spend hours playing this game! Still early on but I’ve played it every day since I got it. Highly recommend!

    Animal Crossing New Horizons for Switch is awesome

    Animal Crossing New Horizons for Nintendo Switch is so amazing and fun to play. It has all of the best elements from the previous games and made it more dimensional, more creative, more diverse, and I am trying to imagine how one could ever really stop finding something new to do in this game. Well done, Nintendo. The only negative is having to pay subscription for on-line play. Other than that, it was worth the wait.

    I had never played animal crossing before New Horizons. On paper, it’s just not my style of game whatsoever. But during the pandemic I gave it a shot and now I’m in love. You might get bored of it with time, but not until you’ve dumped 100+ hours into it. I bought this copy for a friend who’s getting my old Switch after I upgraded to the OLED model.

    This is my first Animal Crossing game and it has made me an AC fan for life. I am obsessed with my little island where my life is so much better than it is in the real world. I'm cuter, I know how to swim, and I'm not afraid of bugs. I'm also so much better at saving money in the game than in reality. How does that work? Could someone explain it to me? I need therapy for my shopping addiction

    I've loved this series ever since I got Animal Crossing: Wild World. For old players it's the same game but revamped in a way never imagined. For new players it's an experience that's very unique and I don't believe can be found anywhere else. It's a calm and soothing came that also can keep your attention from the moment you land on the island. I would love for others to experience this game.

    Most peaceful chill game I've ever played. First time trying an Animal Crossing game and I'm completely hooked. The island is much bigger than I thought it'd be and the crafting is pretty simple and easy, with gathering the materials needed for each item being adventurous and fun. The best part is how personal the customization and design of my island feels. Definitely going to recommend it to anyone looking for a new game.

    I absolutely love this game!!! I can play it for hours and hours. I’m 37 FYI. It’s just very relaxing. Also Best Buy was fast on the delivery... So glad I was able to find it bc target GameStop,etc were all sold out!!!! Please get it you won’t be sorry. Also this game I play on the Nintendo switch lite I would buy the physical copy bc if you download the digital copy you can only play when you are connected to WiFi.

    Much awaited and anticipated Animal Crossing just came in the perfect time to keep you entertained for hours specially now that most of us are staying home. I bought 4 copies of this game for my wife and kids! They all escape to their own islands and refuse to come back to reality which we are all dealing with right now, cant blame them!

    New Horizons is another addictive entry in the Animal Crossing series. You move to a deserted island that you can develop into a thriving place with cute animal residents. Activities include fishing, catching bugs, watering flowers, and decorating your house. It's a pretty calm game that's appropriate for all ages. I last played the series with New Leaf for 3DS, and I'm definitely enjoying myself again this time around.

    Animal Crossing has kept our family of four from killing each other during the coronavirus pandemic and has given us a reason to look forward to tomorrow. I have made the home office of my dreams in my A.C. house and will sometimes have my character just sit in there (in real life I am teaching college courses from my bedroom). If only we could share the Switch but all have our own islands and then it would be perfect.

    I was like other people who were on the fence and wasn't sure about this game. I really didn't understand the appeal of it and I decided to give it a try because of all the good things I've been hearing about it. Wow, this game is really fun and relaxing! Me and my girlfriend haven't been able to put it down! If you're undecided, give it a chance like we did and it might change your mind. Great way to pass the time!

    I bought this game to play with my partner, and it has exceeded both our expectations. The returning characters, systems, and themes from previous entries elicit nostalgia, and the new gameplay elements add levels of complexity and freedom that are much appreciated.

    My daughters are both over 16 and have loved Animal Crossing since they were little, and it was a Wii game. So glad it's available for the Switch now. It's a fun and clean game and teaches about buying, selling, creating, home ownership, getting out of debt etc. etc. Nintendo also has an option to buy a yearly membership to be able to play with each other on- line when you live in two different households or towns.

    It's more of a life simulation with quirky characters, collectibles, habitat customizations, and little surprises here and there with no major conflicts or world ending scenarios. Fish, dig, chop trees, create furniture and tools, sell things, and catch bugs. Then you rinse and repeat. Personalize your whole island and show it off to your friends. A good game for those who want to play in a stress free environment.
