    I got this game and it was a hit for myself and my girlfriend! Honestly might have to purchase another swith just to play! I love how calming and the nature of it. There is no race, nothing urgent, its just a smooth easy game.

    So, this game has received a lot of hype at release. Based on the number of hours my wife and I have put in, it is true. There are some things that could be improved (only one island per switch? Really?) But overall very fun game. While hard to find in stock, BestBuy delivered sooner than promised. A week into ownership and we have well over 30 hours into the game.

    I was reluctant to purchase the game at first. Main reason the price! It's $60 dollars plus tax. I kept seeing streamers play the game so eventually I broke down and bought the game. I'm glad I did! It fun and relaxing to play. I really enjoy decorating my island and venturing out and finding my villagers. My sister loves playing it as well. It a good family game.

    This game couldn't have come at a better time. It's one of the most beloved series from Nintendo and now in a fully-realized experience you can play handheld. Much flashier and fleshed-out than New Leaf with a lot of the core elements carried over. Just as addicting yet relaxing as you remember it with fun new features like the mystery islands and customizing crafting.

    This is such a cute game for everyone to play. Unlike the previous animal crossings, you can invite other player in the same console and enjoy the numerous activities to do. Not graphic heavy and easy to learn and develop with the occasional frustration of Nintendo’s changes. Overall you can play this all year round and have new things to explore and collect.

    Got this for my daughter. I preordered it before the COVID19 blew up. She was worried Best Buy would be closed and she would not be able to get the game on the release date. Best Buy has been great quickly devising a curb side pick up and staying open to help everyone who is working from home or staying home. The game is super cute and is keeping my daughter occupied.

    My son loves playing this game. And I'm happy to see him playing a non-violent game. There are lots of in-game activities to stimulate his creativity.

    A Great COVID Distraction

    Like many, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has made COVID easier. When the world is falling apart, you can always enjoy a little escapism. My wife and I both have a copy and while she plays more than I do, we both enjoy playing. This has been a great franchise and is well worth your money if you like casual, yet engaging game play.

    The newest entry in the Animal Crossing series is done fantastic fun. Everything you loved about previous entries is back, along with some fun new features, and improved visuals. My biggest gripe is that tools continue to break throughout the game (even golden tools, I've heard) which really just works out to be an annoyance instead of any kind of challenge. 9.5/10

    I bought this for my kids to play during quarantine and they loved it so much I had to buy a second copy so they could play together on their islands. The only downfall is there is a lot of reading involved and if my 7 year old isn’t there to help my 5 year old I get stuck with “mommy what does this say” over and over again. I don’t mind helping her though.

    I love this game. Learn how to craft different items for your house, for others, and you. Get to explore your own island and fly to other islands that are playing the same game. Life is an adventure.

    Fun but gets tedious

    First things first, My kid loves this game, one of her all time favs already. The game is good but all it would take to make it great is a few software updates. There is literally zero reason why Nintendo has made it where you cannot import your island on to another switch system. You would have to completely start over if get another switch. Also, while coop sounds great, the second player cannot do very much but follow the leader basically which is player one. Player 2 also does not get all of the task and story things that the first player to start the island gets. The game is best played in little chunks of time each day, even then though it does feel tedious after awhile. Needs more updates adding more things to do.

    My daughter wanted to play this game, and I was hoping we could find it for less than $59. No luck, but at least we did same-day pickup. Best Buy brought it out right away when we checked in for drive-thru pickup. My daughter loves the game, and it’s great, wholesome entertainment. You can also play with others online if you sign up for a Nintendo On-line account.

    We first came across this game when visiting some friends. They hag been playing it for awhile and had asked our boys if they'd like to try it. Our boys quickly became addicted as well, so we got them a copy. From there, my wife tried it and fell in love with it. So now we have two copies so that all of them can play at the same time.

    This island has alot of stuff that you wouldn't be able to find in the game without time traveling or trading. The island layout is very easy to navigate and you can see the items that you purchase before leaving the island. Its surprisingly fun to look around and see what options you have to buy in there. I would visit again

    Animal Crossing has been one of my family's favorite games as a kid and now for my kids (myself still also). Running your own island is the object these with New Horizons on Nintendo Switch. Progress along for new visitors to set up camp with you, visit friends and random island with the airport! Fun for the whole family, highly entertaining and reccomend!
