My favorite game , definitely way more updated and way better when on tv

Plays well solo or with others. It's self guided and doesn't require much to get started.

Love this game I’m a mom and I’m addicted! So fun and easy to play and it’s relaxing too.

This is a great game and it has a great amount to do for all children and the family

I always thought of animal crossing as a time waster; after seeing all the memes though, I felt compelled to play. The base game is fun and they've been doing monthly updates and events to keep the game fresh. The biggest draw back is that Tom Nook is always trying to swindle me out of my bells, but that's not even a real complaint. It's fun and has given me something to do during the quarentine.

Great game for kids. Lots of fun and new things to find in this game.

Fun...played it for several months straight. It eventually turned into a bit of a grind but every game will feel that way eventually. Now I come back periodically for events. It's definitely a game worth having, even if you only play it on trips or in the bathroom. A fun, pretty, and simply game that often times feels more like therapy than a game. Just temper your expectations

Amazing my kids love this game and I would buy this game again!

I have been with the Animal Crossing series since I got New Leaf. This new addition to the genre has been really great so far. There's a lot you can do on your island, from fishing to catching exotic bugs. And you can even visit your friends on their own island to hang out and sit near the campfire! There seems to never be a boring day in this game. You should definitely pick it up when you have the chance.

Very fun if you have a creative mind can hit a few idea blocks but it’s fun

A lighthearted romp through a gorgeous world. This title will be instantly familiar to fans of the series, and an easy pick up for anyone not so familiar. If you’re into titles like Stardew Valley this game is a no brainer to pick up. Truly a work of art that will continue to provide hours of fun! I’ve had Animal Crossing for about a week and a half now and have been unable to put it down in that time.

If you like farming or collection games, this is a great game for you. There's always something to do. I only have two complaints. One is that you can only have one island per console period, and if you start on one console and then decide you want your own Switch and buy another console and another copy of the game, you cannot move your island to the new console. Also only the first person to log in has full control so if you let a child or other household member start the island and then they stop playing, you're locked out of several features unless you delete and start over. Also it's annoying that the time in-game is always locked to the time in real life, so if you only ever play at night then all you'll ever see in game is night. But other than those things, it's a great game and a worthy addition to the series.

So much fun --- but YOU CAN ONLY NAME YOUR ISLAND ONCE! So once you choose that name there is no going back. When we got the game we were under the impression that each new game would be its own island etc etc but that is not the case. The one island will be cohabited by everyone that plays the same game on the same console. Its different but a lot of fun!

I’ve only had the Nintendo Switch since Christmas, so had to buy this game after all the good comments I’ve heard about it. I haven’t had this game very long, but when I do play, it’s a lot of fun. Best Buy was having a Sale when I went in, so with all the great comments I’d heard, I had to buy it and am glad that I did.

If you are a long time fan of the series you won’t be disappointed, but you won’t be amazed. It is more of the same “animal crossing formula,” but that is not necessarily a point I would hold against it. Animal crossing is always an adorable game that draws you in to the charming atmosphere and lovable characters. If you enjoy it you will inevitably donate many hours to grow your town, recruit more neighbors, and build friendships with everyone. Over the last year it has shown that Nintendo has not steadily updated the game with many events that make me want to come back to play that often. There are new updates coming soon, but may not be completing for some. The biggest drawbacks of this game are the online functionality, which barely works, and is extremely frustrating when traveling from town to town. Trying to move your saved data to another switch (if you decide to upgrade your switch) is non existent. Nintendo has never been user friendly with any online services within games and this does not break that mold. If you are looking for another animal crossing experience you won’t be disappointed if you can overlook the online issues that cause frustration.

I'm having a blast! I have heard if you're sharing your island on a console with other players you can be extremely restricted, which is a bummer. Since I didn't want to share with my husband I dished out the money to get a second console. I can't tell you my perspective on sharing one, but I can say I love all the new features and customization options in New Horizons. For me it's been worth every penny!

Animal Crossing is a fun and relaxing game. My child enjoys it. Its nice to see the seasons and weather change. Its a realtime type of game and never ending. You can build your own island and enjoy yourself online with others and enjoy there island as well. Its played just about everyday. It can be played before school and after for a relaxing feel after a long day.

beautiful graphics, it's a fun game i just wish it didn't limit one island per console

During this madness happening in our world, I was scared that Best Buy would be closed, preventing me from getting my blessed Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Thankfully, they followed the CDC guidelines and only allowed 10 people in the store at a time. I was so pleased with employees at the Hixson, TN Best Buy! Definitely returning for future electronic / game purchases. Goodbye Amazon and GameStop!

I play this for hours! It's very entertaining, and gives you the opportunity to create!
