    This game is addictive, so much so I had to buy another Switch so I didn't have to share with the kids. They play this game every now and then, but they are more into Minecraft. It is a great way to tune out the world and chill out.

    How can you not love this game? It's so relaxing and helps take my mind off of the crazy stuff going on in the world today. Cute characters, lots of fun building and decorating houses and your island. I play everyday and have enjoyed every minute of it.

    Having played every game in the series, this game does justice with beautiful graphics, and a very nice relaxing experience. It is not like most games, I would recommend watching someone play or playing with a friend who has it to see if the game is for you!

    Fantastic game! I highly recommend to those who are long-time Animal Crossing fans and/or those who enjoy relaxing gameplay centered around themes of decorating, light big catching/fishing, chatting with animal neighbors, etc. Nice way to relax and be creative!

    My son is mostly a PC gamer. However, he has a switch and this game is certainly one of his favorites. He'll connect the Switch to his gaming monitor. The graphics are very good. His friends love playing this game when they come over.

    Great game for kids and parents. To fully enjoy the game with your family you will need multiple Switch units. The main user has more control over the island and secondary users tend to lose interest because of the lack of full interaction within the island.

    I can’t even put down the controller for two minutes to write this review. Very addicting. So many possibilities. Even more fun to hang out with friends online. Just make sure you don’t have to update your island or donate to the museum when your gate is open.

    The great distraction

    This review is based on a time in history where we are dealing with a pandemic called Covid-19. While there are many titles you can play for a quick gaming fix, Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the Switch stands out. Not because it has flashy graphics or riveting dialog, but because it’s a great distraction. The game will entertain you and keep you coming back. Whether you play it daily or skip a few days to work, you’ll come back and enjoy this game. It allows you to escape to a virtual island where you start out with a tent and free to roam (albeit limited to the current island but you get to travel further as time goes on). The game includes seasonal activities that get incorporated. Whether you play during the day or during sunset you can find lots to due as the islands host and staff offer up many activities that you are tasked with completing. RECOMMENDED - great distraction.

    last play AC on the GC back in like 03. was so excited for this release, and so far it has not disappointed. The only drawback is you can only have one island per switch, so if you have multiple people wanting their own island you have to have multiple switches

    Great game! My 11 year old loves this game because it is interactive and I love it because all the dialogue with her and characters keeps her reading. It’s like an interactive animated story book. It’s Great! I highly recommend this game.

    I’m a longtime Animal Crossing player, but this would be an excellent and easy game for new players to pick up too. Nintendo has fixed nearly every complaint about the previous game, New Leaf, and added tons of new features as well. It was well worth the wait.

    This game is the culmination of eight years of waiting. Nintendo has outdone themselves on this one and it is one of the best games I have played in a while. I was very glad Best Buy had the game in stock and I found the pre order process and service very good.

    I'm here stuck at home and this game does plenty! It starts of painfully slow but it's okay! With friends it's a really enjoyable experience The only bad thing I have with this game is the one island per console save, but other than that It's such a good game!!

    Love it really fun game! But the only bad thing and get me mad is that if you want to use the game in another console you can’t transfer your information from the other console. Juts remember if u want to buy another console you will start over all the game!

    I initially got the game for my 10yr old. Fast forward to now, I am playing it more than her. This game has a Minecraft feel to it, It's adorable and in real time. The seasons change according to where you live or at least your region. It's addicting
