    Best One Yet, But Looking Forward To More Content!

    Been the best Animal Crossing since the Gamecube version, but having to wait for all the content to be added has made it drag a bit. I’ve gotten way more than the value out of it (160+ hours due to quarantine). Definitely recommend it!

    Both my 16 year old and my believe it or not 22 year old who was addicted to the original game on the GameCube. Absolutely love this game! They constantly play with it and are now able to be in the game together for even more fun. It’s a winner!

    True to the series with new twists

    As a major fan of previous games in the series, I can say that New Horizons is a great addition to the Animal Crossing line-up. The game preserves all of the aspects that make Animal Crossing great - the chill play style, the cuteness, the witty dialogue - while also adding some new features to keep the series feeling fresh for long-time fans. I find that they took the best elements of the mobile game Pocket Camp, such as crafting, and modified them for NH. Nook Miles are another modified-from-mobile feature that adds another way to stretch your engagement with the game, rewarding players for daily play. There's a lot to laugh in this game, and I can see the developers have a lot more planned for players. Now is the best time to escape to your peaceful island and hang with your real-life friends while also making some virtual, animal ones.

    My girlfriend has over 100 hours into the game already and I keep finding myself coming back a little bit every day to discover something new. Endless customization, cute characters and a task system that allows you to escape the every day toils.

    This game is addicting! It is so much fun building your own town and making bridges and decorating your house. Visiting other islands in search of new things or towns people is the best! There are SO MANY things you can do in this game.

    If you like animal crossing, you'll probably love this as well. Nice graphics, more ability to change your whole town inside and out. Seems so far to keep all of the things I have enjoyed in past AC games, adding new activities like DIY crafting.

    Relaxing Game to Spend Countless Hours On

    I logged many hours on this game, while making socially-distance memories with friends via online. The cute aesthetic brings you back, but I do know many people have dropped off due to lack of rewarding gameplay after doing the same thing for months. I preordered this game via Best Buy, in which they offered the $10 preorder bonus, which was nice. This was also the first game I had shipped instead of in-person due to the pandemic. There were no damages during shipping.

    The person I got the game for absolutely loves the game. She got lost it in for quite a while with all the things you can collect and that you can only collect specific items during certain times of the day.

    This game is very engaging and a good distraction on what is going on in the world right now. In this game, you create a community in your island. Overall, fun, entertaining, and charming game. (Real time is being used to progress your island)

    If you are a switch on her chances are you ready know everybody is currently playing Animal Crossing New Horizons Because of COVID-19 and that people are trying to find ways to communicate in some form I’ve been playing animal Crossing since I was about nine years old starting with the second game (which was the first game outside Japan) that came out on the GameCube while my family and I stayed all by my grandmothers for hurricane Katrina and Rita. It’s a nice way to help kill time and I’ve been a fan since then. The only problem I have with this is that you have to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to get custom designs that you can’t find QR codes for online. I understand that for online multiplayer to visit peoples islands makes sense, but really? You have to have an online subscription just to download custom designs?

    It is a fun and relaxing game. Best way to describe it is like the Sims and Minecraft but you need to gather resources to build things and to create your own island paradise. It even has some nice dad jokes in it when you catch a bug or fish.
