Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the first Animal Crossing I have invested serious time into. There are so many options for being creating and building the perfect community. Everything is explained to you over time but it may take several days to really get started. A great experience but not for impatient players.

I've played and enjoyed them all since Gamecube, even though they're all pretty much the same concept. The game is charming and addictive, and the latest gameplay additions are a welcome change (I'm not going to spoil with what they are). It looks stunning and sounds sweeter than ever.

I've played at least 4hrs a day for the 8 days I've owned the game! You just get hooked in and don't want to stop playing! Either selling stuff to pay off your loans and just searching for new bugs, fish, fossils. Best Animal Crossing game yet. Simple but very polished game and graphics.

There are a lot of things that you can do each day, I play it everyday, as you progress, new things will be “unlocked”. You can decorate and collect whatever you want. I totally recommend, it’s the best “do it at your own pace” game I’ve ever played!

Animal Crossing New Horizons appeals to any fans of casual, relaxing gaming. You can spend hours decorating, fishing, bug-catching, or terraforming your island paradise. Play local or online multi-player for even more fun. Please note that you can only have one island on your Switch.

As a fan of Animal Crossing for 18 years, this new game goes truly beyond and is great for beginners and long-time gamers alike! Easy to pick up for kids as a productive and lightly educational game. Great for adults looking to decompress and get creative. Fun for the whole family!

This game is very fun! I used to play this game on the game cube and loved it. This is a much more advanced game, which I enjoy. I like having goals to meet every day. I am also excited to be able to customize my island. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone.

This game is so fun. It’s adorable. There’s all ways something to do. Are you low on materials? Get a Nook Miles ticket and stock up that way. I’ve been playing this pretty much all day except for when I’m eating of course. A very nice, calming game to play while you’re stuck inside.

Good game bought it for my niece. Will give it to her for holidays

I have been looking for a game to keep me engaged and to get creative with and this did it for me. It’s a great adventure/lifestyle game and you get to make it yours and be creative with it. The lady at the cashier was very warm and receptive. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple and adventurous game.

ACNH is a stellar return to Animal Crossing rich and relaxing gameplay. With great quality of life improvements and overall custom ability to your entire experience New Horizons easily takes the cake as the best in the series; and a must have for all switch owners, casual and not.

Hands down best game ever!! Do not hesitate on buying this game at all!! The day I plugged it into my Nintendo switch is the day I got sucked into ACNH life!! I cannot get off this game at all!! Super addicting & lots of never ending things to do!!

A fun relaxing game that's just too cute. I love the new online multiplayer capabilities and being able to use my phone as an auxiliary tool for messaging and importing designs into the game. Highly recommend for when you're stuck inside and needing something calming to relax with.

This game is so fun to play. It gives you the opportunity to create an environment that suits your personality. Cute characters and comedic replies amongst computer controlled critters,

My 8-year-old daughter loves this game! It is very creative and she can interact with different characters and travel across the Animal Crossing Islands. She loves all the cute woodsy characters and is very happy with the gameplay. She has played hours; great value for the money.

I have loved the Animal Crossing games from the beginning, since the Nintendo Gamecube and have played every version except Go to the City for the Wii. This game is great! It has a lot of familiar features, but adds some new ones. It also streamlines some of the old GC components, like the DS versions did (ex: museum donations, selling). It also makes decorating more efficient. One of my favorite features however, is Co-Play. My family and I have always played these games together, but only now can we simultaneous play while living in the same town! This is so fun and I love being able to switch back and forth as leader while playing together. I am really looking forward to logging hundreds of hours on this game. It is easy enough for newbies to get into and also has enough variation from previous games for AC vets to still have fun and enjoy something different. This is a Nintendo masterpiece for sure.

Really uber cute graphics mixed with addictive gameplay loops but little actual structure creates the next best Animal Crossing game. This is one of the best games released in recent months and is such a good and relaxing way to spend a couple hours here and there. Give it a try!

This is my first Animal Crossing game, though I've known about the series and watched others play it since the beginning. Charming music, beautiful environments, and colorful characters, along with nearly endless possibilities for player and island customization make for a great experience whilst in quarantine. Just like in real life, I've got neighbors I love and hate, though unlike real life, it's apparently considered socially acceptable to bean one you dislike over the head with a bug-catching net. The hunt for the perfect neighbors is thrilling, and I've surprised myself by getting attached to characters I thought I would initially discard in order to make room for my top ten. Though the endgame is technically sprucing up your island enough to get the much beloved musician K.K. Slider to come to your island for a show, with how many hours you'll likely put in after the fact, it seems like all the events before then act as only an extended prologue. There's things to craft, events to play through, new characters to discover and greet, outfits and furniture to buy (not to mention the pricey home upgrades to store all these new things in), and, most importantly, a full island to customize to absolute perfection. The main negatives I would have to add would be that the slow menu and item selection system unchanged from past games can bog down game play, as can the tedious process of shopping, when most things can't be bought more than one at a time. When catching bugs or fish, the exact same unskippable animation and flavor text appear, making catching multiple a headache of impatiently mashing buttons to get on with it. I wish that it had been set up more like what happens when you pick up things like wood or fruit, where the game doesn't delay with with an unnecessary animation or description, it just lets you /pick it up/ and be done with it. Otherwise, if you're not big on slow, day-by-day gameplay, or you want something focused on hard action and conflict, this game probably won't be for you. Even though you can effectively blaze through the game by changing dates and times, the greatest sources of conflict you'll find yourself having is buying new things vs paying back loans, and trying your hardest to get that one stubborn neighbor you hate to move out. All and all, it's a family-friendly game with an easygoing playstyle, sure to have enough to do to keep anyone entertained for hundreds of hours.

I anxiously waited for this game for so long and when I got it there was no looking back. It provided me something to do during these hard times and the game is just so beautiful. It makes New Leaf look so poorly made when it wasn’t at all. Don’t regret buying this!

The game is awesome if you like to play slow, single player rpg games. Games close to this would be terarria, minecraft, stardew valley. When it comes to multiplayer, the game is ok. There isint any much more to do with others than playing by yourself, and you're extremely limited in the interactions you get to have in other people's islands. Most you can do really is sell things in others' island, which is something you can already do on your own. There's an option to remove the restriction on people so they have full access to your island (to break rocks, chop trees down, etc) but again, theres not much point or incentive to that unless it's to help a new player accelerate the process of doing everything by themselves. Otherwise the game is great, charming, and as long as you have the time for it, it's great seeing your island grow, as well as visiting new, randomly generated islands to explore and find new specimens of bugs and fish to catch.
