Customer Ratings & Reviews

By far one of the best games you can buy for switch to help pass the time. It’s not something I can dump 3-4 hours into in one session after you complete the main story, but it’s one of my all time favorite games for the switch. There’s tons of options on improving your island and if you ever get bored you can restart the game and make your island completely different. 10/10 would recommend

So I’ve always been an Animal Crossing fan, and like many others, I was ECSTATIC when I found out about New Horizons. I preordered it as soon as the preorder dropped, and I’ve played it nonstop. The game allows free reign over making the island look like what you want it to look like. Every day in this game allows new opportunities to complete tasks. The Nook Miles addition was very smart and allows the player to have fun without ever feeling like they’re just repeating the same things every day.

This is a relaxing and enjoyable game. It's open ended and you can enjoy it at your own pace. There are a few events that are locked to the first player (picking and naming the island, for example, other members of your family will have to play on the same island that the first player selected), so keep that in mind if that will matter to anyone in your family. I have an 8 year old and a 9 year old, along with me and the hardcore gamer husband, and all 4 of us are having a great time on our island.

This game is a fun, entertaining, and cute way to play solo or with family both locally or on-line (especially during this difficult time). Nintendo created many ways to play at your own pace so you can engage in activities to build up your community through crafting, shopping, gifting, participating in events, and just chilling with friends. I love the versatility of the Switch, from compact play on the console as a handheld to being connected to the TV. Overall, highly recommended!

I got hooked into it and months later, I'm here writing a review. So yea, the game is great!

This is hands down one of the most charming and relaxing games I’ve ever played. From the moment you arrive on your deserted island, the world feels like a peaceful escape. The graphics are adorable, the music is soothing, and the attention to detail in everything—from seasons to character interactions—is incredible.

I’m new to the animal crossing game’s, so when my friend told me to preorder. I was just going with the flow. I already knew a bit about the game style, and also read posts about its features. After playing it for a while, and mostly during this complicated time. I had fallen in love with it!! A great game to pass time! There’s many post in social media that shows the Player’s creativity. I’m not very creative, but watching them makes me want to work harder to create a beautiful island as well.

Love this game! I am 23 and play this whenever I can catch a few moments of free time. I love that I can play it in front of any age group, and still enjoy myself. In my opinion, it is not a "child-ish" game, but instead just a simple one. Because it is simple, it is also calming! Yes - even for the price - I would recommend this game to ANYONE from 1 - 99! The way they have manufactured this game, it would be no problem for an elderly person to be able to follow along and enjoy themselves.

From her: Easy to understand for the casual gamer. Enjoys customizing and crafting - especially changing outfits. Loot system may seem too generous at times, but it is a welcome feature. From me: Great loot system. Nothing ever feels hard to come by. Loot is generous and not much is required to craft. In-game currency is plenty if you did not want to wait and collect to craft. Does not feel like there is much of a “grind” to collect items and craft things you want, which is good in this case.

Nice relaxing game to play. Very easy to learn and a lot of improvements to enhance your play experience from the last game.

Bought this for my kids for their second switch as I had the digital copy for the first switch. This is a very cute game that never ends meaning kids stay engaged and have fun for a long time. Nintendo keeps putting out new updates also which keeps this fun. This is worth far more in entertainment value than its sticker price.

I play this game still to this day and it's almost been a year since it's come out! Playing it with my friends and siblings has been a blast and great way to connect when meeting in person has been difficult. Plus there is so much to do and room for different looks on your island, home or your character! The updates have been fantastic and it's honestly been one of my favorite things of 2020! Definitely a great game for both hardcore and casual gamers.

Cute graphics! it's fun for my 15 year old and for me. It has alot of cute little missions and really easy to use and play

Fun game! Time moves in real time so it is a slower progressing game but gives you enough things to do to keep you busy.

Nintendo has released another great Animal Crossing game! All the classic staples are here - Catching and collecting bugs and fish, living in a town with your animal residents, and having an overall great, relaxing real-time experience. There’ve been new changes as well, like automatic stacking of materials, the crafting system from the mobile game, and the ability to create your town from scratch. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, it’s a great experience that I think you’ll enjoy!

Super fun game, it is customizable and great fun for hours.

This game is amazing! Plain and simple...they really hit the mark!!! I didn’t think I would like this game, but the more I watched it being played, the more I wanted it. I now have an island and I’m working on it every day! Controls are easy, and the flow of the game is your pace! I can’t wait to see what else the game has in store for me! Possibilities seem endless! Plenty of ways to earn in game currency, and I’ve been able to pay loans off fairly quickly. This game is truly for everyone!!!

So much fun for my grandchildren. Makes them see the responsibility of their virtual animal.

This game is fantastic and easily accessible for even those new to video games. It is an enjoyable escape from the grim reality we’re all living in right now and can be played at whatever pace, in long or short increments of time—however you please. This isn’t a typical game that can be ‘won’ in a normal sense. It is an experience that is relaxing and fun, and all the better if you have friends or family who also play. It’s a great way to stay connected while staying home & keeping safe.

Theres so much todo in the game at a good pace. Its not overbearing and creativly fun.
