Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's unfortunate I didn't get this game on release date even if I bought it in advance because of the lockdowns. Anyway, I received it a couple of days after and I have been playing it on the daily ever since. This game has been my friend and probably the only thing I look forward to everyday (a bit of an exaggeration, but y'know). Been an AC villager since City Folk, got hooked on New Leaf, put a dent on my bank account (like actual money) with Pocket Camp, and so very thankful for New Horizons. AC for life, my mans.

Highly addicting. Cute graphics. I didn't think I would like this game, but it has been those games where you can play daily.

Greatly improved over past versions of the game. Graphics look fantastic. Very relaxing game that will provide hours upon hours of gameplay

I am a newcomer myself to the Animal Crossing series. This has been such an amazing experience during these trying times. I have yet to fully explore everything this game has to offer but I am excited nonetheless. Consider purchasing this game if you want a more relaxed approach to video games. There is always something to do, you will have to take this game one day at a time. No need to rush, the anticipation of finding new treasures is a wonderful experience. I hope you enjoy this beautifully crafted game and I bid you a farewell.

I've played animal crossing in my childhood on the DS so I was super excited to play this on the switch! I literally bought the switch to play this game and have been playing it every day since! It's super relaxing and I love being able to connect with my friends to play this. I get to visit all my favorite characters from the past and there are neat new additions like putting furniture on your island that makes it so much fun! Plus there are new holiday updates every so often so it never gets old!

simple game with hours of enjoyment. every time it comes out its exceed the one before.graphics/music/characters! thanks Bestbuy/Nintendo

This is one of my favorite switch games. I can literally spend hours playing it. I like being able to have the ability to have my island set up how I want it and also be able to have where I want trees and flowers. Also, being able to terraform and make my island different is also fun! If you do not own this game, you need to. Also, it’s fun to be able to play with friends on online play or if you have someone close by you that also has the game on the switch, you can play local play as well. It’s fun for the whole family!

I've played the original Animal Crossing on the GameCube back in the day and probably lost over a full year of my life playing that one... Now this comes out and does everything right. They are always adding updates to the game to keep it interesting. There are times if you play ALL the time you may find yourself repeating a lot of tasks. My daughter loves it and has a really good time playing two player with me. Highly suggested if you enjoy simulator type games like SIMS, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Etc.

I never played until this version and my girlfriend asked me to play. Very easy to get into and can be taken at your own pace. My only gripe is that so many things are sensitive to the true time of day and I don’t like to “time travel” (as the community calls it).

This game is for anyone who just wants to wind down, sit back, and have a relaxing time playing games without explosions and shooting and what not. You simply start on a deserted island with some other villagers, and you work your way up to building your own desired civilization. The customization options are endless, and the feeling you get when you accomplish an in game goal is what makes the game great. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a fun laid back game.

I've never played an Animal Crossing game before, but I got it with the intent of having a game I can casually play for 5 minutes for 45 minutes. It's got a ton of charm, it's cozy, the music is great; there's not much I can say that's negative other than I'm not a huge fan of some of the UI design choices, but I'd still give it a 5/5. :)

I had never played animal crossing in the past I was familiar with the franchise but it never interested me. After seeing a lot of people posting stuff online I decided to get the game, I've been hooked. I actually had to buy two copies because my six year old stole my first copy. Each system get one island layout. You decide where you are going to build houses and stores. You have many opportunities to do tasks to get the in game currency to build up your island. It's a simple mindless game with hours upon hours of play time.

Played it over 150 hours. Almost had to quit because it was so addicting. Good thing, bad thing. Great graphics and lots to do.

This game is so fun , as expected. Quite different from the others, but most all of the same "animals". Will be entertaining for some time.

I haven’t played Animal Crossing since New Leaf, but I used to play that religiously as a child. While this one is definitely different, I still really love it! Building your own island from the ground up is pretty cool! And it was released at the best time to allow me to really go all in. Stay safe and socially distance!

Best Investment I've made. Whole family plays everyday. My only disappointment is that the game only allows one island per Switch.

I've never heard of Animal Crossing until my Instagram feed and twitter feed was full of screenshots of the game so I had to see what it was all about. I instant fell in love with the game. Very easy to play and I'm not a huge gamer myself. I even got my other friends to play too! (We are all in our late twenties lol) That's the thing about this game, it can be for anyone! Honestly, I would love to say so much about this incredible life changing game but I don't want to spoil the fun for the others! Highly recommend!

This game is a life simulator from doing everyday task to build your island from cutting down trees, fishing, upgrading your stores and getting people to live on you island. This game is slow paced but very rewarding when you put your time in your island. This game cannot be beat it needs to be taken 1 day at a time, i usually play about an hour a day maybe a bit more it depends on whats going on in my island. Its a fun life simulator can even be played with your friends that also have the game but its still good by yourself.

Just purchased this after waiting months for the Switch. Easy to play for a non gamer and made a great distraction for a road trip.

Since the start of the pandemic, this game has been the glue that held my social circle together. It has allowed me, friends, and family to stay connected on the phone while we do nice favors for eachother in Animal Crossing. We can even get closer than 6 feet in the game!! I love Animal Crossing, and this is coming from someone who thought it would be for kids. It's the ultimate life simulator, and is extremely easy to play. Classic Nintendo, making an extremely user friendly and fun to play game. Definitely a must own
