    Demasiado simple y sin gracia, tratan de imitar a otros juegos como ark o Minecraft, pero le queda faltando mucho. A los 30 minutos de juego te desinteresas y no dan ganas de jugar de nuevo.

    Completely Avoid!!!!
    - NPC dialogue options are limited, they will repeat their dialogues after a few days.
    - There are only two shops, no Crazy Redd, no Gracie's shop. no Dream Suite, and only one upgrade.
    - Lack of Furniture Sets, no Classical, no Modern, no Exotic, no Regal.
    No amount of update will disguise this mess of a game.

    No more that already said. It is a fraud, 50€ for a solo game. Nintendo fix this soon or the animal crossing serie is dead. Why do you have an account engine in the console if you don’t use it?

Now my wife purchased the game and created it without knowing this, a couple of weeks into it, my son has joined the adventure only to find out he cannot make most decisions and is limited by how far my wife has progressed. I started playing to see what it was all about and indeed, it's a utterly terrible decision made by Nintendo to require you to buy 1. another switch console and 2. another ACNH copy and 3. not allow you in any way to keep your save game online and 4. not allow you to transfer the part that you've progressed to another Switch console with another game copy netting €260! So the game doesn't deserve anything more than a 0. Nintendo should feel the pain and fix this. For any other game I know it's super easy to do all those things on the same console and heck, even the free-to-play Fortnite gives me the possibility to switch between Xbox and Switch freely, the same goes with my son and we don't even need the Online membership to play online. Yet here we are with ACNH and I wouldn't be bother with the €35 additional yearly membership for a family subscription, if it would allow the full experience and not limit you to the progress of the first player, which becomes frustrating extremely quickly. And not just that, you know what the only option is for the 2nd/3rd/4th player when (in this example my wife) the first player stops liking ACNH and therefore stops playing? You might've guessed it... start completely over with a completely blank island altogether, there is no way to transfer the ownership or keep your own progress in any way. I'll keep repeating this, but this is a terrible decision by Nintendo and basically one that says: we only cater to those willing to shell out huge amounts of money on a duplicate console and a duplicate copy of the game. For that Nintendo deserves a 0 for ACNH.… Expand

    Easy answer, easy review, there are way better games out there that will make you enjoy your time playing while you comfortably wait for the release of Hokko Life, that is going to be launched this year and is a similar game to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and for PC, without the console bound restriction (means you can buy many copies of the game without needing extra PCs to play).    … Expand

    The world is extremely tiny, it's based on real time (which is cool on paper but terrible in practice), it's got 0 challenge, and it plays like a mobile game (in fact it looks just like it's mobile version Pocket Camp). You can run the entire starting area in about a minute, there are woefully limited resources across the entire island and woefully limited events or things to do across the entire game.

    It is quite "chill" which can be a nice change of pace for about 10 to 20 minutes, but once you get past the bubbly exterior you quickly notice that there are no brains on the inside to keep you engaged and entertained.    … Expand

    Only buy this if you are willing to put at least 5 to 10 hours into LEARNING how to do anything in the game. This is not a game for everyone and it gets really old after doing the same thing for weeks on end. I would suggest borrowing a copy form a friend after they get bored.

On solo mode, if I harvest too much, My girlfriend will be mad because she has nothing to do and will be stuck. There are also other beginner issues. When you talk to sell or buy something, you are kicked out of the interraction and you have to retalk to the character again. Even Pokemon Red had this sort out! The wheel of tool control is bad. Aiming at fish is a pain in the ass. interractions are too long, even for a relaxing game. Finally, a little related to the multiplayer issue, the save fil management was the cue that told me that the game is unfinished. The issue is even address in the game with a animation!… Expand

Second, the first person who plays gets to make ALL important decisions, where buildings go, the shape of the island, etc. Third, couch coop multiplayer forces only one person to be able to do worthwhile activity leaving the other players to weed and water. This could be looked over and wouldn't even be a complaint IF we could have our own islands. I would prefer this setup, IF we had our own islands.

    If you plan on buying this game for multiple people to play, then please stop and consider these things. I may not have purchased this game if I had known this before hand.

    The fact that they only allow one island per console is idiotic. I'm not going go buy a second switch and a second copy just so my wife and I can play on different islands.

What I do have a problem with is the game itself, it's way too grindy and doesn't offer me a 'relaxing' experience like others claim. I find myself actually getting stressed more because I can't find the materials I need to proceed, for example, 30 iron nuggets to build the shop. There are 3 stones on my island and not 1 gave me an iron nugget, meaning I have to constantly spend Nook Miles to go to other islands so I can get them, it took me multiple days just to complete that task due to bad RNG. And don't get me started on the 3 plot stuff...6 items per plot, and some of the materials needed for said items I cannot get on my island at all, which means MORE grinding for Nook Miles to travel to other islands for them to potentially not even have the materials I need. I just want to be able to have villagers on my island without having to constantly grind.

    I'll give it to Nintendo that the animal residents are adorable. It's why I was dragged to the game in the first place, which looking back was a huge mistake. With all the content it has, I can see why it's being sold for £50, but the gameplay itself doesn't make up for it. If you want a game like Minecraft that has cute, interactive animal villagers and 10x more grinding for materials, then this game is absolutely for you.

    I’ve bought this game for playing solo, and seeing how pretty much everyone enjoys it that way, I thought I would too. And to my disappointment, it was such a chore that it became boring after two weeks of playing.

And to my disappointment, it was such a chore that it became boring after two weeks of playing.
    Some of the aspects that killed the game for me:

    1. Grind. I initially expected the game to be kind of similar to Stardew Valley. There, you were always rewarded for everything: catching new species, donating items to the museum, talking and giving gifts to the villagers (aka getting cutscenes and gifts).
    What is the situation like in ACNH? Want to travel to mystery islands (actually a one very cool feature), want some cool hairstyles? You gotta get nook miles. And in order to get them, you’re given the most enjoyable tasks ever imaginable: chop 10 trees, catch 10 bugs, sell 20 weed. It was getting so tedious I wanted to CRY. People actually spend 60$ on this and enjoy it??

    Museum is actually really beautiful on the inside, I did not expect it at first. But the sensation wears off real quick, because essentially it’s all this game is about - looks. Nothing rewarding in terms of gameplay.

    2. Villagers. Again, can be pretty, but they all have the same cookie cutter cutter cute and lovely personality. Maybe it’s me who’s got so unlucky, i don’t know. But you can develop even characters like this, but all I got is some copy paste bs monologue about how that one likes to sleep and eat, and that other one likes to lift weights. Amazing.

    3. The time you have to spend to do such routine like buying or selling. Like honestly, do I REALLY need to stop to read greetings every time I walk into the shop, followed by ANOTHER line when I try to talk to them?? To then watch how my character hands them the goods, and they talk pointlessly??
    Optimize the menus for god’s sake and stop making everything so slow. You can make immersive game without trying to artificially drag out things like selling, buying and crafting, especially when you’re doing it so frequently...

    4. It was actually partially my fault for not reading about the game enough, but real time synchronization is stupid. You want to build a home, a bridge, or literally anything? Wait for one day. Want to see new clothes? Wait one day. Want to have fun right now? Unlucky for you, wait one day.
    I could get behind this idea if it wouldn’t have hindered me from doing what I want when I want. Why can’t I move quickly with the game if I want to? Why is this game forcing one play style on everyone?

    I know you can time travel, which I usually do, even though it kinda feels like cheating. And you know why? Because if you do that, it’s extremely apparent that the game relies on that real time gimmick to be interesting. It severely lacks any real content.
    I believe you will enjoy the ACNH if you like customizing stuff, because it’s one thing the game is objectively good at.

    All in all, I really, REALLY tried to like this game. But you can only catch bugs for so long.    … Expand

Please read fully, I promise not to be the typical bad review, though, I have the rating so low for the same reasons. I have always seen Nintendo as a family connecting platform. Some of my fondest memories are playing Mario kart, super smash, and Wii sports on the Wii. My sister got a switch for her birthday and I never really thought much of it. But when New horizons released she was eager to let me jump in. I have never played animal crossing, but this was outstandingly a great experience, I fell in love. But I struggled to help her build homes, and wasn't treated the same, nor did I interact with importance with Tom, I felt discriminated against. I soon learned why, with the one island per console, and the founder having all the decision making, really, really, really sucked. I would have loved to then start my own island, or co-run the one we were in. I couldn't choose where buildings went, I couldn't progress, and I couldn't even invite villagers, one of the most important and enjoyable aspects of the entire game! I was stuck, and worst of all... This literally damaged my relationship with my sister. I'm twice her age and I felt we finally found a way to bond, but no, Nintendo turned from a "family connecting" idea, to a "family tearing" nightmare. I absolutely hate it, and I can't play it anymore, and that has led my sister to stop, and now I feel guilty, and everything is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. How could a overly family friendly game turn into a despair-enducing experience. However, it's still a 4 because if you were solo this game is absolutely perfect, but this game is built around socializing and family, and it decided it wanted to ruin both. If you want to play with anymore then a SINGLE person, which is what was frost attractive about the game, then DON'T BUY.

    NINTENDO... Please, I beg you to rethink your decision. Make multiple islands where others can found, or make a co-founder system where both share absolutely the SAME privileges.

    Love this game, but hate it too.    … Expand

    Cuando era más niño me encantaba la saga, respeto que a mucha gente le guste y también que la prensa y los fans lo valoren, pero lo veo sobrevalorado más de la cuenta, ahora lo veo con otros ojos o mis gustos cambiaron, con los marios me acabó pasando lo mismo ( son más de lo mismo pero con mejores gráficos).

    If you didn't create the island you are absolutely barred by the first resident's progress.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL PLAY IT

    My girlfriend bought the game for us BOTH to play. Every other game pretty much in existence allows you to have your own individual game on your separate account. However with this one you can only have one island per CONSOLE basically making the second person unable to play. She did not pay $60 for this.

Now I feel awful because my girlfriend really wanted to play but I was the first one to start up the game. The greed is unreal. I guess Nintendo wants people to have to go out and buy another console. NOT HAPPENING. In fact I'm going back to just sticking with the PS4. I hope Nintendo reconsiders otherwise they've lost a lot of future customers. Oh and for those saying review bombing isn't okay, obviously they are the only ones in their household. The rest of us got screwed and the rating is fair and justified    … Expand

That’ll be a fun household to be in for a few days. Whether this is a terrible design decision, a terrible profit motivated decision, or a terrible underestimation of how people like to share their experiences, it’s, well, terrible. Incidentally, if you asked my girlfriend, I’m guessing she’d rate it a lot higher. Know why? She’s allowed to get the full experience! Turns out if you only let people play half the game, they only like it half as much.… Expand

    I'm extremely disappointed that a family/shared system would limit the amount of islands to a console. Cheers. I've lost interest. It won't be in my household.

    I thought it was a great game and spent hours and hours building my island up to my Specification, halfway through I have found there is a limit to my features needed to complete it, such as inclines and bridges. I am very angry and after spending so much time and effort to get to this point I honestly just want to put down the game and never play it again.

    New Horizons is so close to being an amazing game, but Nintendo's shortcomings, oversight, or negligent understanding of the modern game environment means the game falls short.

The game is pretty, polished, and cute. However it feels like a relic of the past. The major shortcoming of ACNH is how the game plays when trying to play with friends. There is nothing to do with your friends. You cannot build things together. You cannot paint together, decorate together, or even use basic terminal functions when someone is on your island. You can't sell things on a friends island if you are playing too late at night. if someone tries to come to your island they will not be able to if you have a dialog box open. When a person comes everyone involved will have to wait through a lengthy loading screen. If anyone disconnects everyone's progress will be lost. These issues make no sense in today's video game landscape, no other large release has these problems. I want to love this game. It is beautiful. But the actual act of playing the game with my significant other, the reason i bought it, is near unbearable tedium.… Expand

    Tldr: 2 stars because I LOVE this game, but the deal breaker of a problem I have with it could have easily been prevented with just the tiniest bit of forethought and whatever short amount of time it would have taken to add a warning message at startup of the game. Don't start playing on a shared device!

Don't start playing on a shared device!

    I've been obsessed with this game since I started playing a little over a week ago. I'd never even touched my husband's switch before, or another Animal Crossing game, so I had no idea that when he added me as a second player I would basically get to play one tenth of the actual game. It's probably a little dramatic, but I was devastated when I realized that I would never be able to progress the game on my own just because my husband made his account first. I really don't care about buying another console/game to have my own island, but the thought of doing that now after all of the effort/hours I've already put into the game makes me think I'm just going to give it up entirely. I really wish that at the very, very least there had been a warning when setting up an additional player on the game so I could have just bought a second switch before I got so far into it. This is the only problem I've found with the game, but it's a deal breaker to me and apparently a lot of other ACNH players. I've seen quite a few good suggestions of how to fix this, including adding the ability to switch between designated primary players or allowing the data to be transferred to another device via the cloud storage. If you're going to make people buy multiple devices & games, don't pour salt in the wound by wasting their time too. Please warn future players in advance of what to expect as player 2+.    … Expand

    Not allowing multiple islands per Switch is really a horrible move. Consider families with multiple children, they will not be able to play the game separately. And no, not everyone can afford a Switch per child. Horrible design choice, and completely unnecessary.

Sharing is not usually difficult for us and my family shares the Switch all the time with other games. Watching someone play when it's their turn is fun to do. But one person getting creative license over a single island per Switch and not per account? What did you think was going to happen, Nintendo? Peace? Do you all live alone or do you think we all are going to shell out a couple thousand just to keep fights from breaking out over a bridge being erected or a beloved/bemoaned villager being ousted/invited? The game is meant to be a relaxing escape and it is... until the Island Rep breaks out Lloid to build an expensive incline to a cliff that goes nowhere or thinks it'd be hilarious to send Sprinkle packing because she's the villager someone else likes best.

    It's a 5 star game. It gets 3 for literally inciting days long fueds. Days. Fix the single island thing, even if it means buying another cartridge or memory card like we did to get around this in previous versions. People will throw $60 at you five times for each family member to have their own control of their own island on the same console if you'd just let them. We'll do it. We clearly love this game franchise.    … Expand

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is basically perfect. Full of wholesome content that helped us cope with the COVID-19 pandemics, the game keeps the heart of its predecessors while innovating enough to make it unique. It may not have won Game of the Year but it'll be the game we all remember from 2020, for sure.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a stunning new instalment in the Animal Crossing franchise, hindered only by its lack of immediate content, quality of life issues and missing returning characters and features While future updates will give the game long-term playability, for those already sipping vacation juice on their five-star islands, island life feels pretty mundane right now.

    It’s full of detail, pretty small things, and surprisingly well working simulations and systems – everything polished in such a way that the player really does care about everything that’s going on. [06/2020, p.40]
