    A lot of fun, great game for all ages (kids to adults). Allows everyone to explore their creativity. We have family across states and countries who also have copies of this game, used the virtual world to have a family get together. Even took a family photo in the game. A really relevant game for the current times we are in. For anyone who enjoys a slower paced game focused on building community, structures, completing tasks, etc. This is a great value

    On the surface, this is a very casual, simple game: care for a private island, make animal friends, and decorate to your heart’s content. However, the sheer volume of content combined with the slow-paced, relaxing tone of the game makes this entertaining for a very long time, and people who dig into the secrets and advanced mechanics will find more on offer. The game is absolutely better with friends, but can be enjoyed fully as a single-player experience.

    I highly recommend this game. Fun experience for all audiences from ages 10 to 18 and up. Living the island life to create new goals, complete new tasks, personalize your island to your liking. Connect with family and friends and visit each other's islands on-line and join each other in person with wireless offline local play. Share by transferring gifts, items, and more to enjoy a whole new experience. Also this game offers a 2 player co-op by adding a second Nintendo Switch game controller. Nintendo offers a free transfer app by moving your island from one switch console to another console by migrating your personal home and save files to a new island home and console hardware.

    ANIMAL CROSSING

    This is the long awaited entry in the Animal Crossing series. If you are familiar with the games, the additions and crafting will be a refreshment to game play. This game is simple to start and hard to put down. New players will have a wonderful time learning how to become friends with their new animal neighbors and the rest and relaxation of fishing and hunting bugs(among other activities). Definitely pick this up if you have a Switch!

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so fun! I have only played Animal Crossing on Gameube as a kid, and kept putting off buying this title after I bought my switch. However, my partner and I started playing and we love this game! This game is a Switch console seller. If you are planning on playing this game with your partner, more on that below... Three things... One: Please be aware that you can only have ONE island per Switch console. Two: Only the Switch profile that created the island can make decisions for that island. A second player playing on a different profile cannot build any buildings on the island or further the "storyline" of the island. Three: My partner officially claimed our household Switch, and I found myself without a console and bought a new one to create my own island. Now.... you can share a single profile, but if you're looking for analytics for how long you yourself have played the game. And you want to have your own island. (Like myself) Then sharing a profile won't be for you.

    It's a beautiful and relaxing game you can play for hours on end. The devs appear to be slowly adding a bunch more content and patches with each major real life event such as holidays or seasons. Given that this game is meant to be played in real time, all players can experience certain things at the same time which is kinda neat. Yeah it has some clunky mechanics and UI but I think the pros heavily out weigh the cons.

    Addictive! But true to the original

    This is a game that you can lose yourself in for hours. Very tranquil and relaxing, but provides enough challenge to keep you interested. Fair warning, this starts off very slow at first, but picks up steam after the first week or so. True to the original with lots of the same elements, just better and much more visually appealing. Any Animal Crossing fan over the years is going to love this game. Highly recommended!

    Having only played a bit of Animal Crossing New Leaf, this game is pretty incredible. Graphically it looks great on Nintendo Switch with great day/night transitions and sunrise/sunsets. There is so much to do in the game with some of the more tedious things having been removed compared to past entries. If you are stuck at home or just looking to pass some time, Animal Crossing New Horizons is a great way to go.

    I am not much into Sim type of games, but I got this because a friend of mine recommend this to me. When I started playing, in no time I was playing every day for at least 30 minutes. It makes fishing, bug hunting, digging, and crafting so much fun. Every day there is are new tasks that allows you to earn points to redeem for items and services in the sim world. I don't know why but I go back for more every day.

    Before purchasing this I was concerned that I would quickly become bored with this game. It has been 8 months and I still haven't run out of things to do on this game. The interactions with friends, and "traveling" to visit their islands during a time of real life social distancing really adds a level of warm fuzzy goodness. Kids of all ages can enjoy this game. I recommend it to anyone.

    I love playing and my daughter is happy to have something we can play together! Having played on someone else’s system, it’s nice to have an island of my own. Lots of time can be wasted playing but at least you’ll be having fun! I recommend this for anyone who needs a get away/escape from the real world for a little bit & likes to play at life.

    Revolutionary game

    This game to me is revolutionary. 1) the game syncs to your time zone and weather forecast. If it is morning where you are, it is morning at the island. If it is a rainy (or shinny) day where you are, the island will have the same weather. 2) multiplayer is safer than I have seen in other consoles. Kids cannot talk via voice chat; however, they can text within the game. Also, you will need to input an island code to ask for a multiplayer friend, and that island code is as lengthy as a Microsoft Office key. It will be very hard to just play with just a random person. 3) multiplayer is the best. We have owned Xbox and PS. However, this game alone has been responsible for now owning 4 Nintendo switch consoles at home, just so we can play multiplayer animal crossing as a family. This also means that this is our 4th copy of animal crossing at home, as well. Xbox or PS games never had that effect in this house (the max we had was 2 PS at the house and that was to play call of duty multiplayer zombies). The thing unique with animal crossing is the peaceful, relaxed, family-oriented, little-kids friendly multiplayer collaboration to build/create pieces of furniture/decorations/etc, exchange materials, recipes for building new items, experiencing different villagers emotions from different islands, and the list goes on and on. Highly recommend. Great job Nintendo!

    What hasn't been said about Animal Crossing? It's a fun game if you go into it with the right expectations. You get ONE ISLAND per family/Switch console. This means if you want 2 islands, you need a 2nd device. It's really just one player game, if you think of it that way. You can't have 2 people completing all of the story progressions. My kids are so small, they don't care.

    Basically got this just from seeing the hype and memes on Instagram. It is so much fun. If you enjoyed playing mysims on the wii or DS, animal crossing is perfect. No pressure. No stress. Just running around helping villagers, collecting beach items, and having a good time. I have been recommending this to all of my friends and am so excited to play more. Really easy to figure out how to work/play too.
