Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game has been getting review bombed all over the internet by people who are unhappy with the one island per console and not per user feature. Sure that's not idea for families that share a console and want to create a personal island. But I believe the idea behind that is to get people to play together.Also The game starts slow as it follows a day cycle like our own so you cannot progress too quickly at one time. But that does leave you with more of a feeling of accomplishment throughout your play time. this game is fantastic and looks and runs beautifully. Endless room for creativity and originality.

Physically, everything was great! The gamecard is functional and there was no damage to the container it came in either. So far, I absolutely love New Horizons! The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is smooth. The villagers are really interactive, which I thought was pretty cool. My only complaint is that the online play is really restrictive. You have to purchase the Nintendo online thing to visit other people's islands, send them letters, and become friends. Although I can, not everybody can afford the online service, and I feel that those people are missing out on a really cool part of the game :/

I actually bought this for my son and my sister who have both been in major lock down since the beginning. They (both of them and my mom) have had some major ups and downs since the stay-at-home order but when they got this...they find smiles and laughter. They both have houses and they find the laughter each time my sister hits a neighbor on the head with the net instead of talking. Great family fun and even thought of getting another Switch so they can easily play at the same time - but for now, they are able to go out and talk to 'people' and even going shopping without worry about getting ill.

Still playing this months later! The game is so much fun and there is a ton of content. Fun for anyone in the family to jump in to play. Highly recommended!

This game has so much content, it will keep you busy for quite some time. Perfect edition to the series and a must buy for any previous fan or newcomer to the series.

Crazy crazy addicting game. It has expanded so much since when I was a kid and I really enjoy playing it. One thing I wish is that the creators would release updates a little faster because you really can move through the game quickly and then get bored every once in a while. That can mostly be resolved by time traveling which brings about new seasons and new bugs and fish and such, but if you don't want to time travel you might end up bored a little faster. In the beginning it definitely keeps you busy there for a good couple a months, depending how frequently you are playing it of course.

Great relaxing game, has a lot of time gating but it adds to the charm

Animal Crossing New Horizons is fun for kids and adults young at heart. The game was a perfect time killer during the summer 2020 quarantine. It's fun building your private island, and the ability to visit a friend’s island makes it even more fun! You must have internet access and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to visit other people’s islands. Nintendo provides monthly software updates to the game, which also changes with the season of your chosen hemisphere. The game has a vast online community to help customize clothing prints and other island designs.

I didn't think I would like it but holy crap 300hrs into the game I am still not bored with it. I got the originally for my daughter's (6) switch, then I got it for mine to play on her island and stuff for fun, then end up getting it for my other daughter (4) and we all end up playing together. There's something about the relax play style which is fun, then those villagers and their interactions sometimes catch me off guard and its hilarious. definitely worth your time.

Excellent game, I recommend it for children. very funny

This game got me through most of the disaster of a year it's been. Just a nice get away from everything with friends and cute animal villagers. Been a fan of the series since GameCube and this game, although missing some things from previous titles, definitely delivers on what new features and gameplay it introduced. And it looks like they're trinkling in some old and new features over time so there's something to go back to every month. It's definitely better than just playing a few time a month to catch the bug and fish of the month and attending the few events and holidays.

Animal Crossing has taken so many hours of my children's lives, but at least it makes them use creativity! Close to a mix of Minecraft and Farmland.

Easy to play, with plenty of content to keep you busy and engaged for hours.

It all started with my in-law bugging my wife to purchase the game because he was certain she would like it. Granted, this is coming from a gamer who is telling his sister to play games, which she never liked, ever, since the beginning of her time lol. After enough bugging from the in-laws, she bit and took the game home. 200 hours of gameplay later it's safe to say she LOVED the heck out of this game! Fast forward another 50 hours (on my end) and I can say this game is freakishly addicting, apart from its defects like island sharing etc., this game is simply a must have.

As with most first party Nintendo releases, they hit it out of the park! Anybody who is a fan of the previous games, you won't be disappointed. Anybody who is coming in new, this is a very simple game to pick up that you will ultimately lose hundreds of hours to playing. The game premise is simple: build up a small society on a deserted island by mining resources, selling items, building infrastructure and item crafting. Fun seasonal events occur in real time, and the laid back nature of the game provides a stress free playing environment. If you own a Switch, you should own Animal Crossing!

This is a fun game for all ages. My wife loves this game because it is very relaxing. Lots of stuff to do and clean entertainment for children.

While the Animal Crossing Series is definitely geared towards a younger audience, I (20 year old, male, college student) have really enjoyed this game as it is a great way to de-stress, relax, and have the gratification of seeing the development of your virtual island. PROS: Much better graphics than previous games in the series. Interact with friends with both a Nintendo Switch and the game. A needed much needed relaxation from these stressful times. CONS: Online mode can be slow, tedious, and sometimes frustrating. Player needs to work hard to stay engaged with the game.

I love playing this new animal crossing game.it the best one so far .playing it is lots of fun.has so many levels and easy to play.a enjoyable game for all ages.

This is a great game for something that has a lot of stress and anxiety. I loved it so much I sent a copy to my brother in another state so we can play together.

My daughter loves using her creativity and building her own village and I love that it's a clean game she can play with her friends. Win, win!
