    purchased for my daughter, and I actually enjoy more. It's very relaxing game, and it is such a great experience. I wish I have more bells up front, and more furniture recipes, but need some time to get more of those. Highly recommended for casual gamers, and those who don't want to get stress playing games.

    This is your typical Animal Crossing Experience with a few new features. You have all of your base-line stuff like making outfits, talking to over over hundred different characters, each with their own different personalities, likes/dislikes and dialogue. The new features are great, giving you the ability to move stuff differently (Half-tiles), experience live events, earn in-game achievements and have intricate custom designs. The game does suffer from unskippable dialogue boxes, Only one island PER CONSOLE (Which is terrible if you share your switch with a family member or room mate) and clunky controls. Overall a very fun, humble and calm experience.

    With the situation in Massachusetts right now, having this game has established a sense of normalcy in my household that only its cute take on daily home ownership, routine resource gathering, crafting, and hobby collection can provide. It's worth being hundreds of thousands of fictional currency units to a raccoon. Worth every Bell.

    This scheme has proven to be an absolute gem to play and a great time waste during all of the craziness of our world. You are constantly feeling drawn into the world on a daily basis to get that next level of accomplishment. Love the idea that this game is real time and that there is always something to do. Easy for anyone to play.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a good game for the times. If you want to just relax and chill out with a virtual island that you get to create, shape and evolve this is the game.

    Love this game! I played a long time ago on the game cube but this one is a lot funner as you can do more things as well as customize your island. The only downside is if you have a second player they are limited in the things they can do (can’t help build houses or get the recipes that you get)

    Plays like a mixture of Minecraft and Animal Crossing. You need to build the Net, Fishing Pole, Axe, etc. out of sticks and other craft materials you find. You can also change the terrain and add stuff like brick roads, very cool! Still has all the same charm from the older games too. One of the MUST BUY games for the Nintendo Switch

    Iv have been following the animal crossing series since it began and with each release beautiful new features are added. The customization of new horizon is like no other! We have dreamed of these ablilities in previous versions of the game. I look forward to potential dlc options as there are a lot of main characters still missing.

    Such a wonderful and adorable game. I have spent hours working on my island. There is never a dull moment with the villagers. Extremely fun to play with others through the use of online play. There are endless possibilities that could be made into your island. The updates bring so many new and fun activities.

    I’m a huge Animal Crossing fanatic, so naturally I love this game. I’m very pleased with the changes they’ve made. I love interacting with the animals much more because there’s so much more they say! This is a great way to relax after a long day; calming and non-stressful. Definitely recommend!

    This game is amazing. I am so happy that I bought this game at the beginning of the stay-at-home order. It has really helped to keep me sane. It is a lot more in depth than I had originally anticipated, if you get the game and start playing, make sure you look into the more end-game content to make sure you give it it's full shot.

    As a first time Animal Crossing player I didnt know what to expect, but I must say that although the game begins slowly, once it starts moving, the options and choices you're given seem limitless! This is a game I can pick up everyday, relax, and forget about the troubles of everyday life. Single console multiplayer is lackluster

    This is the game of the 2020 quarantine, but even without it, this game would've been a smash hit! So much adorable fun to be had. Play alone, or with your friends, customization options are endless for your character and island, and its so much fun do all the tasks around the island, high replay value too!

    Preordered this game and I did not regret it. No bugs or glitches in the game as everything runs very smoothly. There is a ton to do in this game and is a great game to just play and relax with after work or a long day. Loading times can be a bit long especially when you start the game up, but not a dealbreaker at all.
