    Kid's are all having a blast with this game! It is very family friendly and fun(for kid's and adults alike). It can just be a fun innocent outlet for the kids to spend a little time in and be creative! Even non-kids will have fun with this one, a very relaxing no stress environment that is welcome distraction to these challenging times.

    Fun game with play with friends and family. I never thought I would enjoy this game as I mostly play FPS. It really surprised me.

    This is a great game if you are on a 18 hour flight otherwise it is too much to try in a short time. It leans on the boring side because you are trying to do everything they ask and it can get redundant.

    This game is perfect for current times, keeps you busy. While you are playing you have to look for your creativity side in order to build up your island from scratch. This is a different game but definitely fun and time consuming. By the end of it all you will be satisfied with you island and being able to share it with your friends and family as it is very interactive.

    The best game at the right time. Amazingly, this game came out right at the start of the COVID19 pandemic. Hours of fun, although the return diminishes over time, especially once you get to the theoretical "end-game". Nonetheless, there's always something to do, and it's easy to pick up and grind away for burst gaming.

    I was a huge fan of this game on the 3ds and I am a huge fan here as well. Animal Crossing is a very chill game that you can play anytime anywhere It takes a while to get started and progress at first but once you get things going its amazing. Highly reccomend this game.

    My second AC game and I felt it's a great entry to the series. The change from towns to islands keeps it fresh and I love fishing in this game. There's something about fishing and catching bugs that feels so relaxing. My only problem with this game is the villagers' convos don't feel as deep as previous entries, but that's more of a Nintendo issue.

    Fun new entry to the series. I've played this series since the original Gamecube game and Nintendo does not disappoint with the new game. Interact with local townsfolk in a game that progresses real-time 24/7. Make friends, fish, catch bugs, harvest crops, and have fun in Animal Crossing. Take the game on the go or play on a large tv. Win-Win.

    I absolutely LOVE this game and I'm a 52 year old Grandmother of 6. Loved it so much that I bought my 8 year old Grandson the exact same game. The price was great at Best Buy. It was easy to locate in the store. I still have 5 more Grandchildren to introduce to Animal Crossing New Horizons & will make sure to buy them all at Best Buy.

    My 14 year old received this for both a Bday gift and something to keep her occupied while being stuck at home. She plays online with her sister who lives out of state as well as her friends. This is her first Switch game and after seeing the graphics I plan on getting her more games.

    So, this game has received a lot of hype at release. Based on the number of hours my wife and I have put in, it is true. There are some things that could be improved (only one island per switch? Really?) But overall very fun game. While hard to find in stock, BestBuy delivered sooner than promised. A week into ownership and we have well over 30 hours into the game.

    This game couldn't have come at a better time. It's one of the most beloved series from Nintendo and now in a fully-realized experience you can play handheld. Much flashier and fleshed-out than New Leaf with a lot of the core elements carried over. Just as addicting yet relaxing as you remember it with fun new features like the mystery islands and customizing crafting.

    I was reluctant to purchase the game at first. Main reason the price! It's $60 dollars plus tax. I kept seeing streamers play the game so eventually I broke down and bought the game. I'm glad I did! It fun and relaxing to play. I really enjoy decorating my island and venturing out and finding my villagers. My sister loves playing it as well. It a good family game.

    Got this for my daughter. I preordered it before the COVID19 blew up. She was worried Best Buy would be closed and she would not be able to get the game on the release date. Best Buy has been great quickly devising a curb side pick up and staying open to help everyone who is working from home or staying home. The game is super cute and is keeping my daughter occupied.

    The newest entry in the Animal Crossing series is done fantastic fun. Everything you loved about previous entries is back, along with some fun new features, and improved visuals. My biggest gripe is that tools continue to break throughout the game (even golden tools, I've heard) which really just works out to be an annoyance instead of any kind of challenge. 9.5/10

    I bought this for my kids to play during quarantine and they loved it so much I had to buy a second copy so they could play together on their islands. The only downfall is there is a lot of reading involved and if my 7 year old isn’t there to help my 5 year old I get stuck with “mommy what does this say” over and over again. I don’t mind helping her though.
