    My daughter plays this game all day. It is really addictive. She enjoys changing the clothes and building her own island. Not as much fun for mama though.

    My brother and I played the original version of this game on our GameCube when we were little. As soon as they announced they were making a new game for the Switch I knew I had to have it. The graphics are beautiful, they really did a great job modernizing the game without taking away the charm and nostalgia from the original.

    Almosr a year down the line, I can say that this game is fantastically polished but unfortunately the content is about an inch deep. There are near infinite customizations and many items, with new seasonal events being added all year. However, the villagers are flat and have little dialog, none are mean like in the order titles, and there is still beloved content from old games that was never implemented (ex, Brewster's Cafe and Gyroids) It held my attention for a while and is indeed a very shiny and well polished product , but ultimately feels less like animal crossing and more like a large dollhouse.

    Being the first proper new Animal Crossing game in a while, it was very refreshing to play. Yes, it takes time to make progress, but that doesn’t matter because you can obtain various in game hobbies to pass the time. In my opinion, that’s what makes a good game: have other things to do other than working for a main objective.

    This game is just so much fun to play that my family hasn't missed a day of exploring, collecting, selling, and buying since it came out! The characters that share the island are unique in their personalities and mannerisms so every island comes with so many friendly surprises. And the more you play, the more you gain and gain!

    I haven’t played animal crossing since it came out on GameCube and it was great to play this again. Just go on your own pace. It’s a good chill game if you ever need something like this game in your life

    The best animal crossing game yet, my wife’s guilty pleasure, lots of new stuff to do,you can visit other people’s islands online, on your island you can build bridges to make travel time faster. There are seasonal events, waiting for the Halloween costumes already, family fun for every member of the family.

    This game would be fun even in non-quarantine times! This is the 3rd copy we have bought so that our whole family can play and interact with each other in the little animal crossing world. It's great for all ages. The people who play it in our household are 50, 43, 17, and 13 years old just to give an idea.

    A Different Animal Crossing Experience

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is a good game however it is different from previous versions of AC ..in this game your character ends up taking a trip to a deserted island and while there has to craft things such as tools as well as find materials to upgrade Tom Nooks shop which at the beginning of the game is just a tent and there are parts of the island which you cannot access at the beginning of the game due to needing an item that allows you to get to the other parts of the island,to anyone that has ever played one of these games i would suggest that you pick it up however be prepared to put some time into it before it starts to get interesting.

    Fun game. Addicting, but the animals voices are really annoying after playing for a while. Fun to play alone or with friends. Easy to play and understand for all ages.

    Adorable game, haven't gotten much time to really fully immerse in gameplay but I think it's cute and a good time for playing alone or if you have friends you'd like to interact with in an online format. Cute characters, ease of controls, great for all ages.

    Not as good as New Leaf, but the core of the Animal Crossing games that we love is there. They just have some things to work out. The visitors seem to be random and often pointless (I've waited nearly a month for Red to show up - at times), there is no real need for KK to be there all Saturday, there is no Brewster, the crafting seems pointless a lot of the time, as does the campsite (almost all my residences come from DAL island trips. While the events started of poorly, the fall events have been pretty good. Seems like Nintendo put their b team on this one, but it is still good. New Leaf is a hard act to follow.

    Calming, pleasant experience managing your own getaway island experience from the comfort of home. It's been perfect while under quarantine and to unwind from a stressful day. The music is relaxing and wonderful; suitable for the cute but clean graphical presentation. Now go earn those bells to pay Tom Nook back... or else!

    This is a great relaxing game to get your mind out of being stuck at home. It is also a great little escape if you're stressed and need a moment to yourself. "They" say best way to slow down time is by doing a plank. I say best way to accelerate time is by playing this game. So Be Warned! You can get lost in this game.

    I've played Wild World and New Leaf, and New Horizons is definitely just as good. It feels like it's a bit easier than the other two games, where you'd have to wait MUCH longer for Gulliver, and now balloons appear much more often, but the new mechanics and the freedom to move buildings and visit random islands is wonderful.
