Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch

My daughter plays this game on her Nintendo switch every day. It keeps her busy. Adults can play this game also.

I’m 27. I’ve barely played video games, and I’ve never had my own. I was excited to make this my very first one. The controls are easy to learn and every detail in the game is so lovely. The only real goal is to make a world that you like. It barely even feels like a game to me. There is something new to look forward to every single day. It literally gives me a reason to get out of bed during this quarantine monotony. With the sheer amount of content in ACNH, every player is bound to have a totally unique experience. I just love it so much and will undoubtedly be playing for years to come. Everyone in my family has a copy!

Love this game. You get to play with family and friends from every where.

Fang is Babey I got him on my third mystery island if you think you have about 600-1200 hours to burn then this is a perfect fit for you, though beware: it is more of a sandbox than a progression style game. Making things takes a while and the main objective is to decorate your own island. If this doesnt seem like your thing, you may be looking closer toward 30-60 hours of playtime, though that is still a lot all things considered.

The title is a bit exaggerative. I didnt buy them both for myself, I bought the digital copy for myself on launch day, and have been playing on my island for nearing on ten months. I bought my most recent copy for my step-nephew for the holidays and I hope that once I give it to him he will seriously appreciate this game as I did playing the Animal Crossing games since Wild World. Theres new elements to the game that significantly changed the Animal Crossing formula such as DIY, which is just ACNHs term for crafting, the player character and villagers live on a deserted island, which you can now add furniture and rearrange homes to make it as lively and as organized as the player chooses, rather than a small town, in which you stuck with what you have, and couldnt change as much. Same as the previous installments, you can catch bugs and fish, dig for fossils, and in the newest update you can dive under the sea to catch sea creatures like in New Leaf, this game is overall one of the best modern Animal Crossing games we have gotten. That isnt to say this game is perfect. On launch day, there was no way to save your island to the internet, it could only be saved to the console itself, so if you were to move a Switch profile to another Nintendo Switch, and that was the only profile that played the game, you would lose all of your progress and it would he difficult and sometimes downright impossible to get back. Luckily this problem has been somewhat solved, but that left a bad taste in my mouth that the developers didnt consider what certain players experiences might have been. And that isnt the only problem with ACNH, but that was one of the biggest ones. Overall, if you think the player would like lax gameplay and creating your own goals rather than them being shown to you, this is probably a good game for you to pick up. If not, you can try to play it anyway, but Im unsure if youll appreciate the concept, which is also okay. Everyones different. Theres no perfect game for everyone.

For single player, this is a really fun game for kids. The multiplayer always requires 1 person to be the leader, so you can imagine how that goes when 2+ kids are playing and all want to be in charge, because the non-primary players cant do much, and are at the mercy of the leaders movements and decisions.

This games release could not have come at a better time. It provides us a much needed break from the harsh realities of life right now. Its simple yet compelling game play make it a viable option for die hard or casual gamers alike. Its quite easy to get lost for hours in the variety of activities it has to offer. Also visiting friends islands is a great social platform during all of the stay at home orders. Thank you Nintendo!

This is my first animal crossing game and I feel like we got it for the perfect time! (#Quarantine2020) I would say it is a slow-paced game and somehow it tends to take up a lot of time. The only gripe that I have with this game is that the 2 player mode is not very efficient and not very fun to play. The second player who is not the main player is very limited on the actions that they can do and it’s just very inefficient so my husband and I just tend to play separately. We do enjoy the game though.

Good job Amazon and good job Nintendo! This may be the best game ever invented. I would buy this game ten times over! There is so much detail, interaction, and fun all in this one game! To be honest, I literally bought a Nintendo switch just for this game. DO NOT PASS THIS UP! This isnt a suggestion this is an order. Just kidding. But seriously, do not pass this up. All of these other reviews are saying that you cant have different islands, but how would that even work? I mean of course everyone knows... or should know that animal crossing doesnt let you have two islands. Thats just crazy. Any who I would like to recommend this. If you dont get this item, you are missing out.
