    Purchased this and have been so happy with it. Lots of fun for all ages. I do wish you could have more than one island on a single console but that is my only complaint.

    Not just for the kids!! Animal crossing appears very cutesy on the surface, but the game has a lot to offer in terms of depth and complexity to both experienced and new gamers alike. Animal crossing has to be by far the best game to put in the hands of a brand new gamer. I recently purchased an ACNH Switch Console for my girlfriend who is certainly not a gamer… she’s easily logged 15 hours in the game over the course of the last few evenings and has already begun researching other games she may enjoy playing on her new switch.

    This is a game you play a little (or a lot) each day. You complete tasks and earn money in order to build up and customize your island. Lots of bugs, fish, dino bones, clothing, items to collect. You do need to be patient in order to make progress since game time reflects actual time in real life. Trees grow over several days, projects finish the next day, etc. Great for people looking for casual, stress-free gameplay. Objectives don't change much day to day but you choose how you spend your time whether it's crafting, fishing, catching bugs, digging bones, customizing island. Sandbox game with hardly any consequences.

    This is one of the first games I bought for the Switch, which I also bought right in the beginning of quarantine. I can honestly say that even though I also bought Breath of the Wild around the same time, all I want to do is play Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You wouldn't think that living on a virtual deserted island and being in eternal debt to a tanuki named Tom would be as much fun as it is, but it is. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the ability to live on a COVID-free island and have the ability to pay off enormous debts at no interest. In all seriousness, buy this game, it won't disappoint.

    Ive played every single Animal Crossing game, and this one might be the best yet. There's so much customizing you can do now - changing the layout of your island, moving villagers' houses around, being able to put furniture and other items outside, the list goes on. Super customizable experience, if you get addicted to this game, you will easily spend hundreds of hours perfecting your house and island. Runs great as well, the load times are slightly long, and visiting other players' islands is sort of a hassle, but that's Nintendo games for you. Overall, a lovely experience.

    I've been an Animal Crossing fan since the 1st one came out almost 20 years ago, and this one might be my favorite installment yet. The graphics are smooth and make everything look so cute. The gameplay retains enough of the original game to appeal to old players but has some new features that make it interesting. If it's your first foray into Animal Crossing don't worry about having to play any of the other games first, this is a standalone game and they teach you how to play in the beginning. I ordered it online from Best Buy and it arrived on time the next day. I can't recommend the game enough!

    Animal Crossing games are the best games ever created. They do exactly what a video game is suppose to do. They are relaxing and fun to play. I have been a fan of the games since the first one on the Nintendo Gamecube. Every time they make a new one, they keep getting better and better. Don't believe any negative reviews online, there are people who just want to badmouth Nintendo as much as they can they have never played these games. There is something new to do in the game everyday so you never get bored. If you want a relaxing game to play this is the game for you. Anyone can play this game age doesn't matter.

    Caved in and randomly bought animal crossing to see what the hype is about and my only regret is waiting til now to buy it. I've spent so many hours playing this game and I just purchased it two weeks ago. This is fun for moms, dad's, kids, anyone in the family! I wasn't sure how I felt about a game that you'll want to play every day but I love it. It's a play at your own pace game which makes it easier for those with busy schedules or those with kids who can't pay full attention to a game. Cant wait to get the animal crossing switch case to March my console now!

    AAA!!! Build your island YOUR way, the level of customization is EXCELLENT. I put many hours into the Gamecube Animal Crossing, and have put even more into this one. I love the island setting, the cast of unique characters (as always), and the adventure and freedom of just doing what you want to do. So many things to find and collect, various activities like fishing, and seasonal events. There's always something to do in Animal Crossing, and if you like games like Harvest Moon, StarDew Valley, and even Farmville--then you cannot go wrong by picking up this one.

    Purchased this for my wife. Husbands out there, please do the same! She enjoys it so much, my time fishing has gone up dramatically. Now she spends more time with Tom Nook than me! 5 stars! In all seriousness, she really enjoys the game. She bought a strategy guide as well to assist with helping build her island. From what I understand, it is addicting, but not my cup of tea. I'm glad she likes it and it seems like many of her friends do as well because they're always on each other's islands. If you're bored during this pandemic, this might be the game for you because it will suck you in!
