    This is a pleasantly relaxing game. Its slow paced and following instructions given to you by the natives of island and some help from other players. I just started playing. Its a good way to leave some stress in the real world and get-away to explore an island, especially in the middle of a global pandemic.

    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.

    Has a lot of content but is missing soul

    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.

    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!

    Bought it for my younger sister. I told her to pass it and I'll get her another game. She's going to be playing for a very long time. Perfect gift.

    Great Relaxing Game for Quarantine

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons has great graphics, a very peaceful and pleasant soundtrack, and a happy storyline/gameplay that all combine to create an extremely relaxing game overall. AC:NH is the perfect game to play while in quarantine, as the life simulator provides a beautifully relaxing distraction to the real world.

    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.

    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.

    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 bought 4 copies of this game for my wife and 3 daughters. They all play on their switches and gave enjoyed playing with each other visiting their respective islands. They all are very happy with the game, recommend to anyone with kids that enjoy adventure type games.

    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.

    This is not a game for everyone but at the same time possibly can be. It’s a calm and relaxing game but if you need to have goals to define the games purpose this really isn’t for you. You primarily create your own purpose fishing, eating, crafting and just building your own house and island. It’s a good way to escape life.

    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.

    If you have played AC before, you know what you are getting into. If you have not played AC before, this is a great relaxing game to play for hours doing little tasks. Don't come in expecting this is an action pack game because it is not. Take your time, enjoy doing tasks, building your island and home. Great game.

    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.
