Customer Ratings & Reviews

My daughters love playing this game. They like that they can play together. They get to customize their character and houses. They get to do cool things like fish, collect bugs, and build things using resources from the island which they are living.

This game is so much fun! My wife and I almost purchased a second Switch so we didn't have to take turns playing but this game has unlimited potential. Get to explore and use your own creativity to create your own little world.

I've been an AC fan since my beloved gamecube. Lots of updates and things to do everyday you play. Being able to complete transform your whole island is huge for me. Only drawback is 1 island per console. But that was clever on Nintendos end. $$$

Love this. It is the best game ever. I bought Switch because of this game. The game is creative and fun. It has 400 + animals for you to choose and you could build whatever style of the island you like, which is fun and time-consuming.

The game itself is cool. My daughter enjoyed it for a little until she started playing fortnite.

Well. I preordered a physical copy of the game around 2 weeks in advance and didn't receive it until 2 days after the release date, so I certainly don't recommend doing that again. The game itself though is killer and a great addition to the series

Fun and for the most part simple game. It's nice way to be creative. It's not for everyone though as the gameplay is based around the idea that things take time to happen but I feel like that is what makes making your island look nice rewarding.

Bought two copies for the house and a switch lite to go with the regular switch for the wife and daughter to play it on. They love it. They play online with four other friends that bought copies and switch lites just so they can all play together.

I love this game! I bought it for myself and my husband to play

I love this game I have so many hours in already and there's always something to do! I would recommend this to old players of this series because you know what to expect. But if new players are curious, more power to you It's a treasure of a game :)

I've played each animal crossing game since the GameCube, and this one does not disappoint. It takes a bit of work to get your island up and running, but aside from that, there are many things to do that will keep you entertained!

My girlfriend and I play this game regularly throughout the week (we have two switches and 2 copies of this game), and it provides some great variation from just watching TV. Traveling to the other islands is pretty easy, and it is a ton of fun!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a wonderful addition to the franchise. It offers a lot of new features while keeping the best of the previous games. It's a slow start at first, but there's always something to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

Super addicting game. I didn't think id be this into it, its nice. You can get creative with your island and even get cool villagers to move in. You can also go to your friend’s island if they have the game + Nintendo Switch Online.

This game is still an anomaly in the video game world though not as much as it once was with other games like stardew valleyfiling the same niche. It does deliver on taking you away into your own little world that is as soft and cute as possible.

Please just buy it and de-stress. There’s nothing the world could use more right now than an island getaway where you get to build and curate and sort everything out... in a way you wish the real world would. I’m already past 130 hours invested.

Old time Animal crossing fan and this game is a worthy succesor of the franchise. It has all the elements you love and so much more. It's soothing and enjoyable, stress free and a super nice way to unwind after a long day.

This was my first foray into Animal Crossing. I heard good things and decided to give it a try. I was not prepared for the amount of things to do and see! This is the perfect video game for these times when we are social distancing from each other.

Wonderful game so far! I enjoyed New Leaf, so being able to play this on my TV or handheld is pretty nifty, plus we are all staying indoors. It's a perfect combination. This is a very stress-free game and is actually a great stress reliever. There is a little something for everyone in this game, young and old alike. I will say that I understand the low ratings involving the one island per console, but I don't share my switch and I'm solo, so I'm good. I don't think a mechanic in online play should necessarily sway someone away from this great game. Hopefully Nintendo will add something later to fix that, but for right now I love it for what it is, and that is a very fun escape from the dark world around right now. Stay safe and enjoy this fantastic game!

It’s a real time life sim, so if you get bored it’s your own fault, they have A LOT you can do and build. The first week is way more limited, so if you ARE bored just wait some time and you’re gonna have a blast. Meanwhile start hoarding materials.
