Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's unfortunate I didn't get this game on release date even if I bought it in advance because of the lockdowns. Anyway, I received it a couple of days after and I have been playing it on the daily ever since. This game has been my friend and probably the only thing I look forward to everyday (a bit of an exaggeration, but y'know). Been an AC villager since City Folk, got hooked on New Leaf, put a dent on my bank account (like actual money) with Pocket Camp, and so very thankful for New Horizons. AC for life, my mans.

Such a fun game and easy way to waste hours of your life. You can Get really creative or not at all it's really up to you. Great game!

Awesome game! Fun for hours for kids or adults. A must have for the Switch! A*+

This is one of my favorite switch games. I can literally spend hours playing it. I like being able to have the ability to have my island set up how I want it and also be able to have where I want trees and flowers. Also, being able to terraform and make my island different is also fun! If you do not own this game, you need to. Also, it’s fun to be able to play with friends on online play or if you have someone close by you that also has the game on the switch, you can play local play as well. It’s fun for the whole family!

I've been playing Animal Crossing since the Gamecube, so it's cool to see it out again with more awesome features. My kids love it as well.

Great game. My 11 year old loves it. Easy to setup. My kid had no issues getting it started and playing.

Highly entertaining game! So much more involved than previous Animal Crossing games.

Best switch game next to Breath of the Wild. It game is fun to play for all ages. Very cute graphics.

Fun game with plenty of things to do and discover. The details and graphics are stunning; the characters cute and amusing. This game brings out one's creative side in developing an island community. Give and receive little gifts, design and furnish your own home/landscaping as well as those of the other inhabitants, collect resources needed for crafting tools, furnishings and fashion accessories, achieve goals. Well worth the money. If you are looking for a relaxing game to escape into, this is one of the best.

I've played animal crossing in my childhood on the DS so I was super excited to play this on the switch! I literally bought the switch to play this game and have been playing it every day since! It's super relaxing and I love being able to connect with my friends to play this. I get to visit all my favorite characters from the past and there are neat new additions like putting furniture on your island that makes it so much fun! Plus there are new holiday updates every so often so it never gets old!

This game is everything I hoped it would be. It's got fun/cute characters, calming music, wonderful atmosphere, and a whole lotta charm. If you're a fan of previous Animal Crossing games, or just looking for a good stress reliever, this game is 100% for you. Obviously this game looks so much better than any previous game in the series, and there is just so much to keep you busy. I can see myself playing this yet in a couple years. By far one of the best releases for Switch to date. I wholly recommend this game to anyone interested.

I've played the original Animal Crossing on the GameCube back in the day and probably lost over a full year of my life playing that one... Now this comes out and does everything right. They are always adding updates to the game to keep it interesting. There are times if you play ALL the time you may find yourself repeating a lot of tasks. My daughter loves it and has a really good time playing two player with me. Highly suggested if you enjoy simulator type games like SIMS, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Etc.

I haven’t played Animal Crossing since New Leaf, but I used to play that religiously as a child. While this one is definitely different, I still really love it! Building your own island from the ground up is pretty cool! And it was released at the best time to allow me to really go all in. Stay safe and socially distance!

I had never played animal crossing in the past I was familiar with the franchise but it never interested me. After seeing a lot of people posting stuff online I decided to get the game, I've been hooked. I actually had to buy two copies because my six year old stole my first copy. Each system get one island layout. You decide where you are going to build houses and stores. You have many opportunities to do tasks to get the in game currency to build up your island. It's a simple mindless game with hours upon hours of play time.

Great classic game that teaches responsibility along with fun.

Very fun game. Will keep you entertained for hours and hours. Plenty of stuff to do with new events always coming around in game

This game has all the classic features of animal crossing with new mechanics like crafting and terraforming. The customization of your island paradise is limitless. The game plays in real time, which can be frustrating to those not used to it. Some bugs/fish only become available during certain times and completion of buildings will make you wait until the following day irl. Despite these things, Animal Crossing: New Horizon is a wholesome and fulfilling game. Very down to Earth and casual, and now you can play with friends too!

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

Best Investment I've made. Whole family plays everyday. My only disappointment is that the game only allows one island per Switch.

Played it over 150 hours. Almost had to quit because it was so addicting. Good thing, bad thing. Great graphics and lots to do.
