This is my 1st AC game but it has been such an enjoyable experience all around. Its a game where you set up and help establish a small community on a deserted island. You get to meet and interact with different types of characters and help the island grow. I never thought that a game where you plant vegetation, fish, catch bugs, craft items, and decorate your home/island could be so enjoyable. Its a simple game but its very relaxing and fun to play. It can also be played with others via online/local coop so you can play with friends. Its definitely a great game to play while we're all stuck home and its me hooked. o yourself a favor and give the game a try, you'll end up enjoying it.

It's a blessing this game released when it did. The near endless amount of customization options, generally relaxing atmosphere and online component has made staying at home so much more bearable.

Fun Game to play. Origanaly get a download version but the person I bought it for does not have an Email account and it is required to download the game so I have to get the physical game. Works great.

I love this game! It’s so cute and easy going. I haven’t gotten far yet but this game relaxes me. It’s a big step up from the og animal crossing on wii

My 11yo son wanted this game badly for Christmas from watching other kids play. After getting it his brother was watching him play and enjoyed watching so much that he wanted to get the game as well. Two copies later, they tell me that they would like to play together in the game. The only way to allow that to happen is to subscribe to the Nintendo online. Instead of buying 2 individual subscriptions, I got the family subscription.... was cheaper. Now they can play together. I got suckered into it. But it's a fun game, non-violent. They say it is relaxing to play and not stressful, like the fighting or other competitive games.

Fun game for all ages. Easy to learn and play. Worth the buy.

My daughters favorite game i do believe plays everyday since Christmas last year. You build your on island and lots of other things. Would buy again and again.

This is my first full dive into an animal crossing game, but I dabbled with New Leaf so I knew what I was getting into. At the beginning of the game, it may feel limiting due to the way that events happen according to real time, but once you begin to unlock more and more you will find yourself falling in love with the characters, collecting, music, customization, etc. I will warn that this is a game that is t be enjoyed over a long period of time and can be played in short bursts everyday (~30 minutes) just to do your daily tasks. I've enjoyed my first week with the game so far (~60 hours) and look forward to all of the possibilities and events that are planned. Highly recommended!

Great game, haven't played it as much as I wanted to but it is very much an update version of AC for the Switch. Great gameplay and very much to do so you stay coming back to the game.

Nice game for long time fans and new ones, those of all ages. Happy it came out during these times because it become the means of hanging out with my friends virtually and playing this together.

I've been playing this game basically non-stop since 3/20 and I've still not gotten bored! Well needed with all the craziness going on, peaceful and family friendly. especially fun with friends!

I'm new to Animal Crossing and thought this game would be similar to Stardew Valley but it's really different. It's just as addictive as Stardew Valley as seasons change, so do resources and events. However, in Animal Crossing you have more creative liberties as you start out on an uninhabited island and have more control over who inhabits the island (villagers) and how the island looks like. Of course, the graphics are more nice in Animal Crossing New Horizon (ACNH) and you can visit friend's island via local play or via online play (if you have the Nintendo subscription service). I highly recommend Stardew Valley as well as it's just as fun and has different components to it.

Got hooked and play this all the time. Even after "beating" the game...which it sort of considers getting a 3 Star Island and K.K. visiting...I still keep going and getting more. Goals now are keeping a 5 Star island and collecting everything. This was actually a copy for my 2nd Switch, so other family members can join an island and visit each other to do even more along with trading items. I wish the Local Network connection was more stable and stayed in sync. First time we played with it we spent two hours helping each other then it disconnected and we lost everything. The Online play which requires the Family Plan seems to cache on their servers and not have issues unless someone disconnects wrong or their battery goes dead. I think they could have done it better on the Local Network too, but chose to optimize the one you have to give them money for. I have a Gigabit local network which should be faster and more stable than both devices connecting to an outside internet server to communicate when 5 feet from each other and we even got ethernet adapters to rule out Wifi issues.

It’s fun and I can do what I want throughout the game! You get to “live your little life”. There are no monsters or scared things. I can fish, farm, craft, dig for things... it’s good ole fun!

If you're looking for a time killing life simulation, this is it for you. Animal Crossing is a series with an appeal that is incredibly difficult to place, but I think the best way to describe it is the freedom to live a relaxing life without the pressure of actual life. Although there are aspects of debt and social responsibilities in the game, you are by no means obligated to do so and can instead go fish, catch bugs, terraform your island, or just make art and sleep. Animal Crossing New Horizons provides you with that freedom in spades, and I would recommend this to anyone who just wants to tend a garden every day without having to worrying about killing those flowers.

Perfect game for all ages. Animal crossing allows you to express your creative side. Build up your island and you can visit your friends islands online. Highly recommend for any switch owner.

This is a really great game for kids just getting started with Switch.

It's what you've come to expect from Animal Crossing and refined to a certain degree. The increasing pocket size is one of my favorite additions. Crafting plays a huge roll now, so you have to collect materials reminiscent of Minecraft in order to make things like furniture, tools, and some story related stuff. Not a terrible addition if you're into it. Has a system where you earn points to redeem for upgrades (like the aforementioned pocket upgrade) and, of course, you have plenty of opportunities to earn and spend bells as you upgrade your house and buy items. If you like previous installments, you'll like this. More of the same with some quality of life improvements.

The best return to form of Animal Crossing. This new game really makes the best use of the console and brings a lot to the table. Bought 2 copies afterwards.

I love the game it is so cute and I can be so creative and also become a millionaire!! I play every day with my family and this is the perfect quarantine game so cute!! I am a gamer now :D
