Customer Ratings & Reviews

Animal Crossing is my first experience with an Animal Crossing game the game is very simple but that does not mean it is bare in content. The game starts off slow but it's a great way to keep you engaged in that every little thing you do is rewarding. Picking weeds on your first day to make your island clean can get you gold and "nook miles" ingame bonus currency. there is a nice simple crafting system that once you get far enough will let you build your own furniture. The game offers a great deal of customization if that is what you enjoy or if you just want to go and fish and catch bugs for money you can always do that. There are few things that can be annoying - such as the slow text and having to individually craft the same item 10 times rather than a bulk craft but these are minor frustration that I wouldn't let ruin the overall experience.

Great game to play while quarantined. Fun to play with friends from far away. It sucks you into its web and never lets go. If you need something to dive into while stuck at home, look no further. The best way I can describe this game is "it's the electronic equivalent of knitting a sweater." You find yourself grinding to complete something that you're not even sure of and at the end, you have something you can be proud of (even if no one else thinks so). You can learn a lot about yourself (and others you choose to play ACNH with) as your type of play will reveal what you value in real life. I know this sounds crazy but it's true. Over time, you realize more about yourself and you may even find yourself appreciating the small things back in real life. Give it a shot, let yourself settle in. Find someone (or a community) to play with.

What can I say about this game that hasn't been said already? This game is way better than it's predecessor, New Leaf for the DS. It has better graphics, more upgrades, more customization, crafting, more items, and just more potential to interact with the Animal Crossing community. This is my most played game on my switch (or any other console!)...and I play Skyrim and the Witcher 3 quite often. This game saved this year for me...most people will be remembering 2020 as the year COVID ruined peoples lives, but I will choose to remember it as the year that Animal Crossing helped me escape COVID-19 by relocating to a deserted island getaway where I could interact with my villagers and friends (Nintendo Online) without the fear of the pandemic. Thank you, Nintendo. Please make more Animal Crossing games!

The disc box really fansy. This game really great. You’ve had a lot thing to do even you play it alone. Imagine playing it with you friend, there’re even a lot whole things you can do. It’s a funny game for this terrified pandemic time.

Got this for my daughter before the lockdown. It’s been a life saver. She has so much fun playing it and exploring her island. Many opportunities for creativity and learning to wait as sometimes things you buy aren’t available until the next day.

This game is a gem, and has been released at precisely the time when it was needed most. Nintendo's newest release in the franchise, fans have been very excited. When the game was released in March, stores had to cancel release parties because of COVID-19. The game delivered on the hype, mostly by staying true to the original format. You begin the game arriving on an island with a few others. Nook, a business savvy raccoon, soon reveals that your flight, meals, tent and land will require payment! But not to worry, instead of paying in cold hard Bells (the game's currency), you can pay with Nook Miles - his own personal reward-point system. This sets the stage for an economic relationship between you and his family that allows you to grow your home from a tent to a three-story mansion. The game is worth every bell, err, penny!

My mother in law retired recently. (Right at the beginning of the pandemic) I'd been talking to her about finding other hobbies aside from puzzles and let me tell you she is in her mid 60s and has been playing and enjoying this game along with a 2 other seniors for years now. Don't ben intimidated by the game. It takes time but when you learn it, you will have a blast. No win or lose in this game, just relax, build a house, catch fish, collect, help other villagers, become an interior decorator, visit a museum, chop wood, mine iron, craft with your resources, cook, etc. You just have to get it in your hands to understand why this game is fantastic.

Our 7 year old is hooked on this game. He spends a lot of time farming items to sell for money then telling us how rich he is. Game has an appeal for a wide age range. No violence or bad language so good for the younger crowd.

Good game for my two daughters. They enjoy it. Simple and easy to play.

Absolutely love this game!!! So glad I was able to get it I play with my sisters and friends!! Great game!! I love getting hard copies to have the boxes sit out with my other games and movies on my tv stand!

This game was released at the exact right time and truly helped us cope during the first few months of stay-at-home orders. There are a lot of fun features in this game like the many iterations before it, but this one made a little magic. First, it's the first game my mom really wanted to spend time playing and my parents were actually able to play together. Second, it allowed my young children a fun way to interact with my family while they were unable to physically visit us. While talking over the phone they would play hide-and-seek, go fishing, play dress up, and all other kinds of activities with my parents and siblings who have all also purchased the game. Third, it gave me, a tired SAHM whose husband was lucky enough to gain more work through all of this, something that I could control in just the way I wanted it. I spent many hours decorating my island and deciding which yard fit which villager. While hunting for supplies and doing daily tasks my kids could play with me (they liked to chop trees and catch bugs). We even made ourselves a little village where all of our houses sit together and the kids made a character and house for my husband as well. It's been fun working together to upgrade everyone's homes and collect items and outfits. We're really thankful for this game and though we don't play it quite as much as we did a couple months ago, it's still our go to for a lazy relaxing afternoon.

I’ve never played an Animal Crossing game before. This was a completely unexpected surprise. It has given our family hours of entertainment and seems to continuously evolve. I don’t see the novelty wearing off anytime soon. Love it!!!!

Great game, easy to craft diys, easy to collect materials

Fun game couldnt put it down for days but pretty decent for just passing the time

This is a great game to play to help pass the time and calm yourself. You can play this at your own pace and with friends locally and online. This has been a great way to pass the time while under quarantine and still have fun with friends.

This game will always be a classic no matter what !!!

I've really enjoyed playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons so far. It's so much fun, and the controls are really easy to learn. Creating my island, picking my villagers and collecting fish, fossils and art is so much fun. Great game.

Got this for my daughter and she loves it! She said it was a lot like the original, but that they had streamlined it and made it easier to do the things that she liked. She bought a Nintendo Switch just to play this game.

Kid is obsessed, good deal! Thank you Best Buy! Would buy again

This game is great for everyone. Being able to set furniture outside opens up many possibilities to build your dream island. The environment is very calming. The sound design is great! Feels like you’re there at the island. Expanding your island with new villagers and shops is very satisfying. Watching it all come together as the the ideas keep flowing. However I wish the face design was around the whole face. This game is a laid back and expressive game. The more creative your ideas are, the more fun you will have. And the ideas come naturally with all the tools you are provided. You’ll get even more tools later in the game. The developers really put a lotta effort. You can customize almost everything even tiny details on cups and plates and stuff. Sucks that the data is ties to the switch. Other than that, it’s awesome! :)
