    I'm surprised how many hours I spent playing this game, considering what you do. It's very simple and easy to play for all ages. I can understand why it was the biggest game back when it came out. It's a very calming game that equally make it feel like you're not wasting time. Definitely, worth buying!

    I bought this as a gift for my 15 year old daughter. She loves it and plays it continually. My 13 year old son loves this game as well. I haven't played it so I don't have a personal review of the game play. I will say that BestBuy had it cheaper than Amazon and with curb-side pick up, it was super easy to purchase.

    A little slow to start, but all in all, this is a great game. Lots of great new quality of life improvements over the previous titles, the nook miles, the DIY recipes, etc. The graphics are great, and I love how you can place more items outside. Only minor nitpick is breaking tools, but easy to get used to and adapt to.

    This game is excellent. During quarantine, I have played it non-stop! I love being able to escape the real world in this sandbox game and be as creative as I possibly can with it. The only thing that may be a down-side for some is the fact that so many features are hidden behind the Switch Online paywall. Although it is not necessary to purchase, and I played without the membership for about two weeks, I did end up purchasing the membership in order to play with a friend in another state. I think that it was worth it, but wish that it was not as necessary as I feel it is.

    I bought this game during the initial lockdown and quarantine of Covid. I was not a fan of the animal crossing series but I so many people posting about I decided to give it a shot. Wow, I was not disappointed. This game had my glued to my switch. It's good, low stakes fun. It's just a relaxing, feel good game.

    This game could not have come at a better time, Great way to pass the time and have your creative juices flow. The online play makes it useful for hanging out with friends virtually and be able to interact with friends even though we are far from each other. Great way to throw parties and events with friends!

    This is a cute fun addicting game. I like it for the fact that I could just turn it on and zone out from my stressful day with this and my music. I don’t get stressed out playing it or trying to beat the clock. It’s a nice way to relax. I recommend it for anyone who wants to kill time.

    Nintendo has done it again with the new animal crossing game. It’s been the one big thing keeping me going lately with all the insanity in the world during this pandemic. It’s great after a day of working at my “essential” job to come home and relax and fish, catch some bugs, and keep up with my neighbors on the island.

    Digitally bought this for my son on his switch and noticed my daughter enjoying it as well. I bought her a physical copy of it for her switch. After they go to bed I sneak off with my switch and play it! Great game, kids have actually learned a lot about different marine life and bugs!

    After having played I changed my mind. Love playing this game! This game is really incredible and me and my wife are playing together. I wish I could play an island of my own, but there’s enough space for the both of us. Just make sure the person to play the most is the main character, and you’re good!

    This is a fun game for the whole family, especially during everyone is quarantined with the COVID pandemic. It's a nice to escape to an island with a sea to swim. Friendly enough for kids to play, yet complex enough for adults to enjoy. Online play with friends requires Nintendo Switch online membership.

    I’ve been really excited for this game to come out and anyone who is a fan of this game will really enjoy it. If you have never played this game it’s a relaxing game that plays in real time so your not achieving everything in one day. Highly recommend if you have never played this game. Now is the time to get into it!

    Lemme tell you, I spent SO much time on this game during quarantine. My island is so infuriatingly beautiful after restarting over and over and trying to make it perfect. I'm obsessed with this game, especially after all the cool updates they have had. Buy it, it is 100% worth it.

    Everyone knows this by now, but this game is just so high quality in graphics and content. As a huge fan of the Animal Crossing series from the beginning, I think this might be their best game yet. Definitely get your hands on it (but only if you’re ready to spend a lot of hours accidentally glued to the screen!)
