    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.

    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!

    This game has been very relaxing for me. I enjoy the game play, graphics, and interaction with others. While being at home all day this has kept me occupied and content. It's a little bit different than it's pervious versions but still a fun game.

    This game is addicting! It is so much fun building your own town and making bridges and decorating your house. Visiting other islands in search of new things or towns people is the best! There are SO MANY things you can do in this game.

    If you like animal crossing, you'll probably love this as well. Nice graphics, more ability to change your whole town inside and out. Seems so far to keep all of the things I have enjoyed in past AC games, adding new activities like DIY crafting.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I initially bought this for my daughter but it soon took over my gaming time as well. It’s such a relaxing play at your own pace kind of game and the ability to customize so much of the world is super fun. I cannot recommend this game enough.

    Do you like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, and/or being in debt? Well this game is for you! Take on the Tom Nook and his ever growing fascination in Bells, your islands currency, as you grow your tiny tent, into a large home. I won't spoil the rest since it is truly one of my favorites, and half the fun is learning and experimenting in the game, but this is one of the best games you can buy that has endless play-ability.

    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! :)

    Perfect rainy day game for parents and kids!

    Perfect for kids and adults. My wife and my 4 year old daughter love to spend rainy days in at home growing flowers, collecting bugs, and building their town. But don't be fooled, this is not a kids game. My daughter can't read, and even if she could there is a LOT of text when it comes to learning how these work around the island. But once we explain what needs to be done she gets the hang of it. We are grateful for this game bringing us all a little closer together as we work towards completing bug, fossil, and fish collections at the museum, laying down roads to connect our houses, and helping the other islanders solve their problems. Animal Crossing has always been great and this entry is no exception.

    I'm new to Animal Crossings so I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this iteration of the game. It's a daily obsession/ritual for me now. It's pleasant, sweet, beautiful, calming and grounding. What more can I say? I highly recommend it.

    Anyone that has a switch needs to get this game its amazing. You get to build your own island and customize it however you want. You can also pick who gets to be in your island. The graphics are also amazing and a huge step up from 3ds.

    Love this game. The graphics are unbelievable. Plenty of gameplay so you won't be bored. It's a fun mixture of the old AC games with some new things. Best animal crossing game yet, and best game I've bought for the switch. Highly recommend
