Customer Ratings & Reviews

The game is totally worth the hype. I don’t feel that it as revolutionary as most have praised it to be. If you have liked previous games of this series, you will most likely love this one. There have been constant free updates and fixes. It is even more fun if you have a friend or friends who play also.

I bought this game for my wife to get her into gaming. It was a huge success and she has not put it down since I gave it to her. Fishing, catching bugs, and island hopping are great. She was thrilled when she found out the bugs and fish change with the seasons. I highly recommend this game for any new gamers.

Very peaceful and creative. Although you are still in debt in this game so it makes it very realistic

I can't explain the purpose of the game but I can explain that Animal Crossing does live up to the hype. Nonstop fun and hours goes by before you even realized how long you have been playing. I was worried at first about playing because of not understanding it, but if you own a switch, you must own this game.

This is the first animal crossing game I’ve ever played, and I love it. I was originally skeptical about paying full price for a game where I would be paying off debt and doing menial tasks. But once I’ve played it for a while, it’s really grown on me. I don’t really know how to explain it but it’s addicting

Such a chill game, you can literally leave this on in the background and the pleasant sounds from the island will most likely relax you in these stressful times. The game is deep, but not overwhelming. The game is charming, but not incredibly campy either. Nintendo magic at work! What are you waiting for?

Well I purchased this game for my daughter as a summer gift for finishing her book club task. Never playing any of the games in the collection, I didn’t know what to expect. So now we are addict to playing this game. I just ordered another copy of this game for my switch so we can link our islands.

Game came in very good time and as expected. I have been playing it some each day. Good game not difficult but interesting. Have chores. Similar to the prior games but different in its own way. Fun to play. Relaxing. Good purchase. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch

Bought this for my kids, but ended up being cannibalized by the wife in terms of playing time. The graphics are good for a SIM game, and the island theme is a big plus since that's what we're into vacation wise. If you can't travel, might as well pretend you're on an island with this game.

This game is definitely not for everyone. But, if you enjoy life-sim games and you need something relaxing to play, this is the game to pick-up. It does start out slow, admittedly. But, the awarding achievement system, elements of customization, and some of the best visuals on Switch make up for that easily.

New Horizons came out at a perfect time for many. Being a game with no clear goal, but an absolute ton of customization, you had an outlet that anybody could enjoy. My time with the game was initially quite high. Since the first month or so, I’ve played far less. However unlike prior titles in the series, there is absolutely nothing held against me for leaving it be. As someone who plays games in what one could call phases, this is absolutely a positive. I strongly suggest purchasing the game as a digital copy due to not only how the Switch works in general, but Animal Crossing New Horizons in particular. Save data is on the system itself, and New Horizons can’t be backed up through normal means. There is no additional fear of data loss (if you’re like me, anyways) by going the digital route, as there is no difference in what is lost between the two options. That rambling aside, having a title like this in a place of easily booting up at any given time furthers the carefree feel of the title. Drop in anytime.

Purchased this game for my son and myself. We both were able to play using a Nintendo Online Family account which we purchased for a reasonable amount yearly. It is a good clean game with good humor and it’s very open in the sense that you can customize just about anything once you reach a certain point.

This games great, probably the best sandbox I’ve played, catching fish and bugs and filling my museum is absolutely my favorite part, something to grab if you have a switch

I actually bought a second copy of this game on September 11. I've had it sine April though. My fiance and I love playing it together. The multiplayer on one system is a bit rough but overall the game is absolutely fantastic! The entire concept is an A plus and it's a very relaxing game to play.

My 9 yr old daughter loves this game! Says it’s so much fun and loves that she can “visit” her friends and family with the game. If you are looking at this game for a little one, keep in mind there is a good amount of reading that has to be done to play so not recommended for younger ones that can’t yet.

This game is really fun. I'm a long time fan of the Animal Crossing(AC) series. And I've been having a lot of fun with New Horizons. Customizing my island and making friends with my villagers has been pretty fun. I do have a few gripes with it like certain tools and adding updates to the game. Like swimming, Swimming was already in the base of the previous game new leaf. But here you have to wait for it in a summer update, same for the dream station. And there are still some big things missing like brewsters. But overall I've had a very fun time and it's a relaxing game to play for the stressful day.

Love it, incredibly fun and addicting to play and my wife and kids love it as well. Quick note, that you will need online access and some available friends to use all the full features of the game.

Where do I start? Turnips? Bridges? Chill? Yup it has the things you would expect an animal crossing to have. This is the best release for this series ever. Highly recommended. It’s one flaw? One island per nintendo switch. So if you’re a one switch household, prepare to share your island with your family.

Animal Crossing New Horizons is beautiful, charming, and packed with reasons to keep coming back. You'll spend hundreds of hours collecting fish, bugs, and bells (to purchase items), visiting with your neighbors, and perfecting your slice of paradise. It is a mindless yet rewarding escape.

This is the best game in the entire world. I am 22 years old and I’ve been playing animal crossing since it was on the game cube. I literally begged my dad for a switch just so I could play this game. I’m so obsessed. I love it so much. Best $60 I’ve ever spent. For sure. Get it. You’ll be addicted
