Me, my wife, and bestfriend love playing AC. There's no end to this game. Set in real time play the season change as the year goes on. Building and expanding your home is great. Each room can have it own theme. Endless outfit combos. Not to mention all the DIY's you can collect and make. An upside this game is that you get to move not only your home but anyone else that lives on the island. Also during this pandemic it helps keeps your mind off everything in the real world. I've heard from a few of my FB friends about how this game has helped keep them sane while having to stay home. Its a simple game with a lot to offer.

I've been a fan of Animal Crossing since the GameCube days. I spent days of time on New Leaf and of course pre-ordered New Horizons.
I believe the game delivers what I expected. There is a lot left out, that some avid fans may miss, but the game also added many features that we have not seen before.
The graphics are great, it runs without issue, and I've had a lot of fun playing it with my boyfriend and other friends online.
Because it is on a new generation console with internet, I believe new features and updates will be added at future dates to keep the game fresh and entertaining year round.

I've been a fan of Animal Crossing since the beginning and I can't tell you how much I love the improvements made for NH! When I first booted it up I got misty-eyed remembering countless nights playing this with my family and it is so engaging. Not to mention the detail they went to to really make this world feel real (I am a fan of looking at all the stuff behind the counters and desks to see all the little coffee cups and fans and stuff that just adds to the realism). The game is super approachable - so much so that I immediately called my mom to tell her to get a copy. Highly recommended!!!

I've been playing AC on Wii/Wii U, DS and phone for years and while it gets tedious at times, you don't get bored and you get so involved with all the things to! Catching bugs, fish, finding fossils, planting flowers and trees, picking fruit, visit friends, travel to "mystery" islands, earn 'bells' (money), upgrade your home, craft stuff, etc.. The game takes place in real time and goes through all 4 seasons, day/night cycle and all kinds of weather. Fun for ALL ages! For little kids, they'll need to know how to read or have someone that can to help them.

I’m a new player to animal crossing but the graphics are ridiculous good and helps you take your mind off things.
Right away I was in debt but unlike the real world it was easy to simply hustle for a day or two and pay it off right away.
The only thing is. This game would be more enjoyable if it didn’t rely on the user being imaginative. Cause I saw all these cute pictures of peoples islands....so I completely destroyed mine but didn’t know what to do next. So I haven’t used the game in about 3 months?
Kind of prefer stardew valley better. Has more story and life for only $14.99. You can even have more in depth relationships that can get you more items.
So overall if you’re super creative definitely get this game but if you like in depth story lines and hustling and kicking the occasional butt, get stardew valley

v fun and adorable game! Unfortunately due to how nintendo does digital downloads i had to purchase this hard copy so it could be played on 2 switches at once, but its not a problem. Now my gf and i can play at the same time. Her favorite part is swimming in the ocean around the island

This is a wonderful game with so many fun features. I've been logging on every day since release and thoroughly enjoy customizing my island and hanging out with my villagers! I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a nice calm and relaxing game. This game mainly focuses on building up your island and finding so many new clothing options and island customizations. Me and my boyfriend also have a great time playing together and visiting each other towns! 10/10 for me.

I am a huge Animal Crossing fan and have played every single title since the first one came to the United States for Gamecube. This is undoubtedly the most extensive and enjoyable entry in the series. Don't miss out on the zen experience created by catching fish, organizing your furniture, collecting fossils and watching the sunset. FYI The music is outstanding, but to unlock the full score you will need to wait for the Resident Services building to undergo renovations.

This game.... It's amazing. It's exactly what I had always hoped it would be and I'm so excited to see what's in store. And to make matters better, I have gotten my dubious husband to be addicted to it. XD So now I always have someone to play with! Loved being able to pick it up in store on release day, also. That was so convenient and fast. I was int he door at 10am when they opened and out the door by 10:02am with all my goodies in hand. Great experience!

This is my first Animal Crossing game I’ve ever played and I’m loving every minute of it! Coming from finishing both Doom Eternal and RE3 Remake in just two weeks, I feel this game has more replay value than both of those games for me at least. You go at your own pace and you take as much time as you need to complete tasks. It’s a very relaxing way to pass the time while on lockdown. It’s certainly one of the best games for the Switch at the moment!

This game is literally my childhood (game cube & Nintendo DS), so for Nintendo to come out with a switch version is amazing! I literally have been paying this game every day, all day, since it released. You have so much to do in this game and literally can't run out of things to do honestly! Great for all ages, and you can go at your own pace since it's based on real time! Highly recommend trying this game out. It's very cute and wholesome!

I don’t really want to overhype this. But I find this game good to have around. I feel it helped me get over a pretty bad depression episode. Setting that aside I find this to be a good game. You can progress at your own speed and there is always something to do regardless of time. There are lots of changes I feel make it a bit better than New Leaf. Though it might not mean much but this game motivated me to get a switch.
