    Perfect game for COVID-19 Quarantine. I even joined in with my kids on the island. It is a relaxing slow paced game that helps to pass the time. My kids took over on the game and are doing all the work on the island while I just lounge around and fish. It's kind of the opposite of real life.

    My fiance got me Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a way to keep me occupied during quarantine. I played this on my Nintendo DS growing up and loved it! He said he'd never play it but as soon as he saw me playing and I explained the game to him, he made an account and plays just as much as me!!

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the best video games available for Nintendo Switch in my opinion. It’s incredibly fun to have your very own island town grow and improve and make it look the way you want with family and friends.

    This is the first game I e played that is not Mario or Pokemon since I got a Switch Lite. It’s been years since I’ve played video games and so glad I got this one. It’s really addicting and fun. I like the mini challenges that earn your Nook Miles. It makes the game play even more interesting.

    We bought animal crossing on launch and are gradually getting into the game. The DIY gameplay is awesome and a totally logical direction for this game. We haven’t yet used the online features, but will get into that next. After playing new leaf for many years, I think this new one will stick!

    This was my first Animal Crossing game and I was NOT disappointed. This was perfect during the beginning of the quarantine and sucked a lot of extra hours I had from being inside. Highly recommend it if you just want to escape onto your island and enjoy the simple things.

    It's one of those games that you think is going to be good, then once you actually have it and start playing it. It just blew my mind off, I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Animal Crossing is one of those games where there's no goal, you just play it how you would want to, there's no goals!

    It's a little hard to get into this game at first if you've never played this game before. However, after you continue to play this game for a bit and actually have goals, it's actually pretty fun. To be honest, it seems like Minecraft but more cartoony. Either way, I like it.

    This game is amazing to play with friends. Otherwise, it's a bit of a daily slog/grind to do the same repetitive actions to obtain a sense of progress. I was addicted for 3-4 weeks but lost interest a bit after. The game is great, just not my personal cup of tea to play year-round.

    I picked this as a gift, and I never have played the game. But, it was a welcome complement to the NESwitch animal crossing bundle that sadly is packaged without the game. Make sure that YOU include this game if gifting the animal crossing bundle.

    I played Animal Crossing a lot as a kid and absolutely love being able to play again. I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch and I love it! It’s a really fun game with lots of things to do. It’s a little bit slower paced, so it’s more for patient players who don’t need instant gratification.

    You could get lost for hours in this game. Definitely a good purchase for those that enjoy games like sims. My sons love this game, I had to buy two so they wouldn't argue, and then bought anotger switch and game for myself because of this game!

    We were surprised to be able to pick this up same day through Best Buy's no contact drive thru. It was back ordered online everywhere. My teenager wanted something fun to do while schools were closed. Now she visits with her grown up sisters virtual world with the optional online membership.

    What can be said about this game that no one interested already knows? Got this game for my niece and she plays it all the time. A laid back, carefree simulation game, with colorful characters, that can absorb hours of your time if you're not careful.

    I bought this for my daughter (age 14) and she has decided she loves it so much that she spent her birthday and Christmas money she had been saving to buy a switch lite for her step-sister (lives in a different household) so that they could play together even on weekends they weren't together.

    Animal Crossing has always been unique and beautiful, and Nintendo didn't let us down with New Horizons. The beauty is better than ever, so, so many new features, and there's much more to do to keep yourself occupied and entertained than in the previous titles. The hours just slip away from you

    It is a very fun, cute, and relaxing game that you can play anytime! The above sentance was written by my 15 year old daughter. My 13 year old daughter also loves it!! With the stay at home order in our area, this has helped to keep them happily engaged, as they can play in each others games.
