Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this game! I completed the critterpedia so I’m focusing on collecting the art to complete my museum :)

I love this game! I just got into gaming recently and this is my go to...the only thing is that the time affects your nooks cranny and mabel and ables store close early which i think is kinda dumb.

This game is the best! My favorite thing about it is that you have something new to do everyday! Definitely recommend!!

No words! I bought two copies of this game and two switches just to appreciate this masterpiece!

Best game ever, I love to fish and I’ve always wanted to be in indentured servitude to a raccoon.

first time I've played an animal crossing game and I've turned to a fan instantly

It's a greeeeeat game! Spend hours of fun playing with friends online

I like it so much.I’m a beginner but I’m so excited everyday..

been playing since March and i just love this game :)

Love the game! Fun and entertaining! Even for adults

My daughter loves this game. She's always asking me to play with her....lol she

My son didn’t like it much. There wasn’t much to do.

I ordered a Nintendo switch before I ordered the game. I still haven’t received my switch so I can’t play the game. Customer service told me they’re waiting on new stock. What I’m hearing is they sold me an item they don’t have, even though the csr agent told me there was one in stock.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is incredibly relaxing and charming. It’s the kind of game you can pick up for a few minutes or play for hours. Building and customizing your island is very satisfying, and the game encourages creativity at your own pace. The characters are lovable, the music is calming, and the seasonal events keep things interesting over time. This is a perfect game for unwinding and escaping stress.

Ive tried getting into animal crossing as far as back as the nintendo wii but it just never clicked for me until new horizons. there's so much you can do in the game and its not a stressful game so you can play for hours stress free. No getting mad at the game its just a relaxing game. It's the only game I have spent 700 hours on and I'm still not bored of it! plus Nintendo keeps updating and adding more content to the game for free. Its impossible to finish the game. Which means you can play forever. This is the best looking animal crossing game ever. Its very fun playing with friends and family. The only bad thing is if you only have 1 switch in your house you have to share islands. Im so glad I bought this it was worth it!

If you haven’t picked up New Horizons- you are missing out. Animal crossing has always been a relaxing, life-sim-like game, and new horizons capitalizes on everything its predecessors’ have done right. It’s charming music, characters, and island, paired with its music and gameplay loop are just delightful. This game excels when you put in work. The more work, the more you will see the fruit of your collecting, customization, fishing and kindness to your islanders! Nintendo has again made a must-have addition to your switch collection.

One of my favorites since the Gamecube! Gameplay: Straightforward like past games, very easy learning curve to new mechanics like crafting or organizing. Music: So peaceful and adorable! Graphics: Adorable! Fish, bugs, fossils, and furniture are well modeled. The dinosaurs are a huge step up from the original. Not to mention that the museum interior is stunning! Fur is also more noticeable on animals. Clothes have details added to show different fabrics used now too. Customization: This game will give you the most freedom out of any of the other games in the series. You will need to work up to some of it and it's worth it. Decorating outside your house really allows your island to look like its yours. Clothes customization has also expanded to include more than just the basic shirt. Online: I haven't used it much myself yet but it can be finicky trying to visit other islands. Send them a message first just in case. Events: Fun but the RNG that comes with them can disrupt your routine (looking at you, Bunny Day eggs). Overall, this is the most fun I've had with an Animal Crossing game in a long time. The tutorials don't hold your hand too much and you can have fun even on the 1st day. Each new unlock feels rewarding, your animals are friendly, and it's really just a great way to escape reality

I'm relaying my observations of my family playing this game... We originally bought this game during the pandemic of 2020 at the recommendation of my kids, who was a fan of the Nintendo DS version. This game has probably been in play a combined 600hrs+ between all my family members. The mellow vibe, cute graphics, and wholesome character interactions make it a game that you don't worry about letting young kids play. Like other Nintendo games though, alot of the character interactions are via text so the player will have to read quite a bit. Essentially the game is just to develop your property and develop your character. The laid back pace was perfect when being locked down so it might make for a better play in the winter months or poor weather days where you are stuck indoors. Once we were outside again, the game stopped getting as much play as when it was bought- but recently my family has picked it up again and uses it almost as a way to relax and wind down for the day. One con you may find is that households with more than one player will have to work together and share an island to develop. There doesn't seem to be separate game saves where Kid#1 can play and develop independently of Kid#2. The only way to achieve this is to each have their own Nintendo Switch. And if you do have multiple devices in the house, you will also need multiple copies of the game if you want to play at the same time. Very "money-grabby". One last observation- I dont know how spectator-friendly this game is. I have three Animal Crossing players in my house and I have never seen the game projected onto a TV. This game seems to be very much a personal, single-player experience and lends itself well to the handheld nature of the Switch. That being said- I'll often times see Kid#1 hanging over Mom#1's shoulders as she plays- supervising where to plant flowers on her island. So maybe the best way to describe this game is not as a game, but rather as its own unique experience.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons completely changes the premise of the series while sticking to its gameplay roots. By having the player creating the town as opposed to moving in you are given 100% freedom as to the location of every building including the NPCs' houses as well as to any personlized areas you create. Because of the new feature of being able to place down any item you obtain in the overworld you can make locations completely unique to your whim. I myself have made a children's park and a camp site. But that's not even the tip of the iceburg. There are hundreds if not thousands of items to mess around with and be used. You can truly for the first time create a town in anyway you see fit. This was just the shake up the series needed and is a game you could play for years because of it.

I’m new to Animal Crossing, so this is my first time playing the franchise. First thoughts entertaining. The game immediately grabs your attention front the very start and involves you in the development of your island. Characters are unique as well as funny. The graphics are really good, also the island sounds truly surround you when wearing headphones. The game consistently keeps you striving at goals, offers surprise guests, and new islands to explore to keep you from becoming bored easily. Customization of your home, clothing and the island is easy to become addicted to in the game. The game is very simple to learn to play for all ages. Just basic reading and comprehension skills needed. Overall ACNH is a great game to spend some quality “me” time on all while on a virtual island.
