    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I pre-ordered this and received it to my house from Best Buy the day of release even with everything going on. I have played the previous games and I have to say this has to be the best one so far. You get so much freedom to customize your island compared to previous games and the graphics are great. The free updates always add fun new things so you're never bored.

    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

    Enjoyable game! If you loved the original Gamecube game or the off-shoots for the DS, you will enjoy this game. You get to see fan-favorite villagers from past games to new and original characters for this game. Nintendo always has seasonal events to keep the game active and the new DLC to keep you busy.

    This is such a cute game for everyone to play. Unlike the previous animal crossings, you can invite other player in the same console and enjoy the numerous activities to do. Not graphic heavy and easy to learn and develop with the occasional frustration of Nintendo’s changes. Overall you can play this all year round and have new things to explore and collect.

    My daughter wanted to play this game, and I was hoping we could find it for less than $59. No luck, but at least we did same-day pickup. Best Buy brought it out right away when we checked in for drive-thru pickup. My daughter loves the game, and it’s great, wholesome entertainment. You can also play with others online if you sign up for a Nintendo On-line account.

    This is exctally what you expect from an animal crossing game. The core gameplay has remind the same for 20 years. If you are new to the series what have you been waiting for, a must own for the switch! If you have played a game in the series before than you know what to expect. More of a great thing is always great!!

    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.

    Fun but gets tedious

    First things first, My kid loves this game, one of her all time favs already. The game is good but all it would take to make it great is a few software updates. There is literally zero reason why Nintendo has made it where you cannot import your island on to another switch system. You would have to completely start over if get another switch. Also, while coop sounds great, the second player cannot do very much but follow the leader basically which is player one. Player 2 also does not get all of the task and story things that the first player to start the island gets. The game is best played in little chunks of time each day, even then though it does feel tedious after awhile. Needs more updates adding more things to do.

    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 twin boys, did extra chores to save up for this game. So when I asked them to explain the concept to me I was surprised to find out you basically are encouraged to play the game daily and complete chores. They can visit each other’s island, and do to quarantine they showed me one day they were “reclaiming their summer” by just hanging out on the beach.

    Animal Crossing has been one of my family's favorite games as a kid and now for my kids (myself still also). Running your own island is the object these with New Horizons on Nintendo Switch. Progress along for new visitors to set up camp with you, visit friends and random island with the airport! Fun for the whole family, highly entertaining and reccomend!
