    If you love collecting things or customization this game is for you. It has things to do for each day that you play and special events where you can earn extra bells or more custom items.

    I haven't played Animal Crossing since Wild World on the ds, but figured it would be a perfect game for quarantining and boy was I right! It's amazing, relaxing, and almost like a job at times. It takes away from the boredom of being stuck home and doesn't stress you out or make you be on your toes at all times like other games. The only thing I really dislike is that there is no cloud save and it can't be transferred to another console.. I started it on my daughters console and soon found out that I couldn't transfer everything over to mine. Very sad about that, but it's not enough to take away from the enjoyment of this wonderful game! Highly Recommended!!

    In no way did I think I was going to get into this game. Friends had asked of I was going get it. Said it looked stupid. So flash forward to heading to Texas for 4th of July weekend. We go to the Bestbuy in College Station and my mom buys me this as a birthday present. She had heard her friends children liked it. I had to be nice and pop it in and play it. Within 15 minutes I was lost in this world. When no working or doing other adult things I find myself trying to catch that darn marlin. So take it from me. Someone who thought there was no way I was going dig this game. To waiting until 9pm to catch a scorpion. You will enjoy it.

    Kids excitedly keep going back to it. They love it. Would be 5 stars however the one prob is the fact that only one world can be created by one main player/account. Others can only visit and do minimal things. You have to get a whole other switch console to create another account, not even another game. ! But they do love playing and silver lining is they are creating it together. That's nice!

    When creating another title in a well-received series it is important to add new elements but not allow these additions to be more bombastic than what the player has learnt to love about the series already. New Horizons, as expected, does this well. Like a typical Animal Crossing game you focus on collecting items for a museum, creating the perfect outfits for your Villager and decorating your house. The player is given nearly full reign to customize their island how they please and being rewards with new tools and features to add to their island as they continue to play the game. This game is perfect to pick up for twenty minutes of so before you start playing another game your deep into-- or maybe afterwards to relax for a bit. I do wish it had something extra though. The original Animal Crossing for the Gamecube allowed you to collect some original Nintendo titles that you could put in your house and play. I understand this may be redundant for those who have an online account with the Nintendo but having some sort of mini-game could give you something to do when you aren't waiting for the next day to come to respawn fossils. A great game that every Switch owner should have as it is very accessible, but make sure you have another game to play while you are waiting for your flowers to bloom and trees to bear fruit.

    ACNH isn't the type of game you power through, as you have to play through each day in real time. You can spend most of the time progressing through the game just waiting for things to happen, but at the very least, it makes justifying putting the game down much easier. For this, I'm really happy. However, on the other side of the same coin, it's easy to fall in the trap of feeling like you need to play every day, so if you have an addictive or obsessive personality like myself, or you're a completionist, you're going to feel like missing a day is wasted time. All in all, I love it for being a cute and relaxing game, even with it's faults.

    My 16 year old daughter wanted a Nintendo Switch - Lite so she could play this game. Of course it is a matter of luck being able to find the Switch -Lite or the game, but I got lucky and found it here on bestbuy.com. Once I ordered both the Switch - Lite and the Animal Crossing game, it was delivered in a few days. That is faster than if I chose to pick it up at the store. Daughter says the game is fun, and seems to be a very popular game. She used to play it on our Wii, and I think she had it on her DS also. I have seen her play it a few times, but it's definitely not my cup of tea. It looks cute, and the game has a cult-like following.

    I had bought a physical copy even tho i owned a digital copy, that’s how much i absolutely adore this game. animal crossing is hands down one of the greatest sozy game experiences you can have. at times it can get a little repetitive but for the most part it’s an amazing experience.

    Was Great During a Pandemic...

    I've never played this series but happened to preorder it before Pandemic 2020 hit. This really helped during lockdown. When you need something to relax to and want an island of worshipers then you have found your game. Also, if you like playing the stock market then you'll love Turnips. Just know there are so many little things that need fixed, and probably never will, but the addictiveness of it will help you make excuses for it so that somehow you play through it. That said, once you withdrawal from it you can see clearly and realize the game was just a time killer...but that's what I needed over the Spring of Covid-19. Enjoy!
