Customer Ratings & Reviews

I could write a novel about this game, but I'll keep it short and sweet! As an Animal Crossing series lover, I was so excited to hear about the release of AC: New Horizons early this spring. The game is beautiful. The animation, the game mechanics such as crafting DIY recipes, creating clothing and island/town designs, customization, and literally every little detail make this game a true work of art. If you're reading this review, this is your sign to purchase this game!! ACNH is such a wholesome, relaxing, and therapeutic experience for all players. I highly recommend this game and the Nintendo Switch Online membership in order to access amazing online services and to view the gorgeous work from users all over the world. ACNH is my little escape from the stresses of daily life, and I could not ask for a better gaming experience. Nintendo truly hit it out of the park with this game. Thank you Best Buy!

Everyone in the family enjoys this game, including our 5 year old. We even made a house and character for our 18 month old and they both get a kick out of it. The little pouch was a nice touch, our 5 year old keeps his bakugan in it. Must buy especially during the quarantine!

I’ve never played the old animal crossing games but I can understand why it’s so loved! The game is absolutely adorable and very fun. It’s simple however the attention to detail is amazing. Wouldn’t be good for younger kids since there is a lot of reading so keep that in mind!

This is my first Aninal Crossing game and when I bought it I honestly thought that I wouldn't like it. I was wrong. The game is just simple fun and easy to get into. It's slow at first but starts to pick up after a few days. A good way to spend time while everyone is at home

First off I have to say this game is quite addictive. I won't even say how many hours I have logged already ( it's triple digits) but I will say there is room for improvement. Nintendo needs to add in some mini-games to enhance the multiplayer/community aspect of the game.

Great game for home quarantine/telecommuting. All the classic AC things and then some. I thought I'd be on a deserted island but others came including the raccoons to rob me blind and think I'm building a place for more to come. There's no social distancing on the island.

This is my absolute favorite game to play on the switch. I love the endless possibilities to customize your island and so therapeutic to play. I highly recommend this game for those who own a Nintendo switch console.

Love this game. I was lloking for something simple and swlf sothing in the same aspect of mine craft and this was the perfect game! I play this everyday at the end of the day to wind down

I left my wife and kids for this game and I will say to you it is 100 percent worth it. The game looks and feels amazing. It feels like an upgraded new leaf. As well as the minor draw back is 1 island per switch but, if you leave your wife and kids thats not a problem.

This is my first Animal Crossing I've put some time into. I gotta say I'm addicted! You're on a destination to a deserted island and you build a life there! Customize your home and collect items to put on your island!! Its a great escape during this Coronavirus epidemic!

This is a great game if you like something slow-paced and low-stress. I love the customization. So many cute clothes and furniture. Easy to play. It can get a bit stale over time, but sometimes you just want to log into your island and go fishing.

One of my favorite games for the Switch. Just when you want something to help you unwind for the day. I kinda reminds me of Stardew Valley a bit except you aren't farming, it's more of a collecting/harvesting/fishing/bug hunting and fossil digging. You can plant flowers and trees but that's about it on the farming stuff. This game also has multiplayer to help each other out, you can play online with friends or couch co-op with family or friends on the same system on your TV. The only downside is multiple users playing this game on the same (One) Nintendo Switch will be using/sharing the same island; each user does not get their own island,it's weird they did this, and some people don't like this, but my wife and I have separate Nintendo Switches so that doesn't affect for us. Overall we both love playing this game, I may have to get a second copy now so we both can play together.

This version of animal crossing is completely awesome. So much to do and nothing is handed to you. Lots of grinding to do to get your city looking awesome. The Nook Miles system and phone app system give the game a modern day pace. Wife and I play every chance we get.

This game is great, its a perfect gift for all ages kids, teenagers, adults and even the elderly, ive seen them play this before!, its also great if you want a game to sit back, relax, put some music and play! Never gets old alot to do and discover!

This is my first Animal Crossing game and I have been really happy with the game. It is a great way to relax. I really like how the environment changes in real time and that there are new features and events being added in to keep the game fresh with new content.

I played this nonstop as soon as it released! Cute graphics and I love how you can play with friends. Even when you feel “done” with the game, there are new updates to bring you back even for an hour or two. Highly recommend. Great for all ages.

Still a great game, I played all the past animal crossing games, but this one is the easiest to get into if you've never played. After the more recent update there's more to do, so it'll take a while to run out.

I've wondered why Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so popular. After all, isn't it just like the Sims but with animals? Well, it's because it's done in such a cute way, and it focuses on building beautiful outdoor scenery, and to a lesser extent, interior decoration (of your house). In contrast, when I played Sims 4, I felt that the focus was too heavy on making enough money from a day job, and spending way too much time eating and going to the bathroom than doing more enjoyable things. Also, Animal Crossings has a great social component, such as visiting friends' islands just to see what other people have done, to sell turnips, trade items, and water each other's flowers. Also, Animal Crossing's scenery changes with your actual time of day and season, and there are events that happen only during certain times of the day, or on a given month. Great job, Nintendo!

This is a very fun game. Great for little kids, but also great if you just want to zone out and relax. You collect stuff, build stuff, design stuff. It also helps you limit your screen time, because after a certain point each day, there isn't a whole lot to do

This game is great. It’s calming and makes me very happy! Nintendo just knows how to please us. Definitely worth the hype and exceeded my expectations. I still play it every single day and still not tired of it due to new activities that come pretty often.
