    This is the best game in the entire world. I am 22 years old and I’ve been playing animal crossing since it was on the game cube. I literally begged my dad for a switch just so I could play this game. I’m so obsessed. I love it so much. Best $60 I’ve ever spent. For sure. Get it. You’ll be addicted

    My girlfriend is hooked! Her friends started playing this and recommended it to her. I bought her a copy so she can try it out. She has been hooked on this game since the day she started playing. She seems to be well entertained and enjoying it, I'm very happy with this purchase!

    With the COVID-19, I decided to play animal crossing for first time. Oh boy, you will be stuck in the dream land with lots of thing to do and collect. If you own Switch (it is really hard to get now) and like Minecraft games, You definitely should play this!. I am hook and can't think of it everyday!

    This game is a wonderful continuation in the series. The graphical updates are stunning. The game has enough of the tedious/ mundane tasks that keep the game going. The randomization of fish/ insects/ and other tasks like popping a balloon, chopping wood, designing your home makes this game a joy and wonder.

    Although it starts out a little slow, you’ll be back into the animal crossing routine by the second hour of playing. It’s a great game to play for a little bit at a time, perfect for casual gamers. But it also has expansive options for extended play, including visiting other islands, grinding for bells, etc.

    I've played most of the other Animal Crossing games and this one is by far the best! There are a lot more activities and goals in this game and it helps pace the game so you don't get bored of it easily. The activities are simple and easy enough to do in a day or two but are all a part of the bigger picture!

    There is nothing better than animal crossing, especially during these crazy times. One funny thing is that the game supports something that the Switch OS does not - messaging! You can send real time messages to friends who are also playing the game. Plus this game has received numerous updates and support.

    Animal Crossing is an excellent Switch game, and one I've already put a ton of time into in the few days I've had it. If you're looking for a new way to waste your life, this game is totally it. Best Buy shipping was, as usual, excellent and arrived in the 1 day advertised.

    Great low stakes and peaceful game. Besides the obvious annoying fact that you only get one island its fun and great for the family. Some minor things that would make the game better: ability to go into the water on the island (swimming, wading in the water, threading). I feel like it would be more realistic if you could go into the water. Also, the ability to jump on command would be nice. The view of avatar seems a bit limited especially when your view is blocked by a tree. None of these things would keep me from buying the game. Probably my favorite game on the switch and worth every penny.

    Was looking for New Horizons for my nephew to spend the time while locked up at home with COVID. Everywhere was sold out or overpriced but Best Buy thankfully had one in stock for purchase. My nephew is now having so much fun, and it's a struggle to actually get my nephew to take a break from the game.

    I bought this game because i wanted the animal crossing edition of the switch because of its colors. I thought it would be weird not to have the game. I totally have no regrets. Im loving this game tons & very easy to learn the game play. I also get to play with my friends.

    Really haven’t had a chance to delve to much into this because my daughter can’t stop playing. If you’ve enjoyed any of the previous Animal Crossing games you’ll enjoy this. The only downside is one island per Switch. Since my daughter set it up first I can’t differentiate from what she has accomplished

    Although there were some features that have been released a bit later that should of been in the game, the game is just awesome. I would have reviewed this near release but I was too hooked on the game forgot about the reviews. Highly recommend to those who just want a simple game to just kick back.

    I play this with my daughter, it is a fun and time consuming game. We both have Switches, and it is nice to be able to play a relaxing game that isn't a sweat-fest, If you like building, exploring, collecting, and just playing a game that is fun and relaxing, then give AC a try!

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a fantastic game. Very calming to play and it’s so fun. Collecting everything and making this island exactly what I want it to be is the best thing ever. It is a little slow to start due to the games mechanics but for those that it might bother, there is a way around that.

    I never got too hooked into an Animal Crossing game before, but after watching several videos I decided to get it and absolutely did not regret it. I was surprised to find when an hour went by when I had not done much in the game, but because it was so enjoyable I could spend hours on it without knowing.

    I’ve been playing this game since it’s release. It’s been the best game to relax with and the community is so kind. It’s amazing how creative you can get with you island design with limited items. I am hoping for more items like the acpc game on mobile. Totally recommending it to everyone!
