There’s plenty to do and it’s overall a really fun and cute game

Buyer beware! I love this game! It will have you stuck in playing for hours and hours on end. Great stress reliever and decompressor.

I played this nonstop as soon as it released! Cute graphics and I love how you can play with friends. Even when you feel “done” with the game, there are new updates to bring you back even for an hour or two. Highly recommend. Great for all ages.

I dont have really anything bad to say about this game, sometimes i do not realize how long ill be playing, its that addictive Definitely burns time and has so many things to do, my whole family has their own copies!

I've wondered why Animal Crossing: New Horizons is so popular. After all, isn't it just like the Sims but with animals? Well, it's because it's done in such a cute way, and it focuses on building beautiful outdoor scenery, and to a lesser extent, interior decoration (of your house). In contrast, when I played Sims 4, I felt that the focus was too heavy on making enough money from a day job, and spending way too much time eating and going to the bathroom than doing more enjoyable things. Also, Animal Crossings has a great social component, such as visiting friends' islands just to see what other people have done, to sell turnips, trade items, and water each other's flowers. Also, Animal Crossing's scenery changes with your actual time of day and season, and there are events that happen only during certain times of the day, or on a given month. Great job, Nintendo!

This is a very fun game. Great for little kids, but also great if you just want to zone out and relax. You collect stuff, build stuff, design stuff. It also helps you limit your screen time, because after a certain point each day, there isn't a whole lot to do

This game is great. It’s calming and makes me very happy! Nintendo just knows how to please us. Definitely worth the hype and exceeded my expectations. I still play it every single day and still not tired of it due to new activities that come pretty often.

Great graphics. Easy to play. Their speech is kind of annoying though. Overall, its a good game. A lot of walking lol.

Nearly the perfect game for anyone who wants to escape reality. When played as it’s meant to be played, it is meant to be almost unbeatable and will last a long time. There’s will still be a million possibilities even months into playing the game. I bought the Nintendo Switch just to play this game. After playing for a couple of weeks, I can safely say that I made the right decision. I do have a few critiques of the game, such as the fact that we are limited to one island per switch and have to share an island with others sharing our switch. The developers could have also made it so that you can pick up several items at once instead of one at a time since that is tedious but I do understand that this is meant to be played at a slow pace. So keep that in mind when you play. I considered giving the game 4 stars due to these complaints, but I decided the pros outweigh the cons by too much.

Very relaxing game. I can play with my 3 boys here at home or with my daughter in the Navy. You can visit other people's islands and give gifts. It's lots of fun amd not a fast paced game. Lots or ways to be creative.

Lots of content and stuff to do. Its definitely a bit different than the older AC games but is still enjoyable and fun.

I never really understood why so many people were hyped for this game, but given the social restrictions from the pandemic, I figured this would be a good game to add to my collection to play during the quarantine. I can't tell you exactly what it is, but there is something about ACNH that is extremely satisfying. The real-time sync adds a lot to the game by making me excited to do certain things in the morning vs the evening. It also really helps manage burnout from the game because it almost encourages you to take breaks if you want. The customization is really fun. I've spent hours on simply figuring out how to make pixel art of my favorite pop culture series. There is something really satisfying about the sound effects in the game as well. The sounds even just in the menus when you click on things are very soothing somehow. This game is tons of fun and definitely worth trying out.

Animal Crossing is just one of the most enjoyable and relaxing games I have ever played. It's really escapism at its finest (which has been really great because of all the recent changes because of COVID-19). I'll admit, I was a little hesitant before buying the game (I thought it was going to be boring). However, even though the first couple of days went by a little slowly, after that, I really started to enjoy the game. I've already played over sixty hours on it, and I'm still planning on continuing, so it's money well-spent in my opinion. It's definitely a game that you can play at your own pace, and there is no real rush to complete the tasks quickly if you don't want to. It's really a stress, free, enjoyable game. Who knew doing chores to pay off an in-game loan could be so fun? Definitely would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys cute, relaxing, and enjoyable games.

This was my first Animal Crossing game. It came at the perfect time during quarantine. It kept me busy and distracted for hours, it's a fun game to play solo or with friends or family. There is a lot do in this game and will be well worth the purchase.

Love this game! I get to play it with one of my brothers who had it first, but this games is so cool. You don't have to play it super hard core to get the fun. And the graphics of some of the characters is just so cute!

Animal Crossing has always been an enjoyable series largely in part due to the relaxing gameplay and music. It's an easy game to pick up, but sometimes harder to put down. They've packed a lot of content in here and it looks like even more will be on the way.

I'm not much of a gamer but I saw a lot of people I know talking about Animal Crossing and thought it looked like my kind of game - and I was right! It's so cute and calming, I love getting to design my island however I want! Definitely worth it!

My kids love this game. Overall I would rate this a five star hit with the kids; however I have to mark it down to a 4 star (possibly 3?) because of the limits the game has with playing multiplayer on the same console. There can only be one main player on an island, in which only that player can begin/complete the different objectives. Thus, time sharing a console with multiple kids has proven to be difficult to accomplishing objectives. Additionally, in multiplayer mode, the 2nd/3rd/4th player(s) is/are stuck in a follower mode scenario and not able to access their own collection(s) or do anything aside from what the 1st player wants to do. Very different from the multiplier games I grew up with. Ultimately, the sharing factor became more and more difficult to the point in which I was tempted to either take the game away, or do what the creators likely want consumers to do and purchase an additional console(s) (Nintendo Lite) and additional game(s). Having 4 kids and also being a bit of a softy; I now own 4 Nintendo Switches and 4 of the same game (which apparently has some added benefits as far as the objective of the game goes; as well as their ability to play together via WiFi). Ultimately I am the one who gave in and made the additional purchases, but this came was the root cause. So a win or lose strategy by Nintendo and the game developers got the best of me.

This game was truly made with love and care for the series and fandom. There are some quality of life updates that are needed but the game is fun, relaxing, and addicting. It also has received support from Nintendo in the form of post launch free content.

Great graphics, very easy to use gameplay. I enjoy all the different outfits and accessories to choose from. It is very easy to lose yourself in the game, very immersive.
