Mar 20, 2020Carismático, relaxante, e com um esmero absoluto.
Um carinho absurdo da Nintendo nesta obra.
Obrigatório. -
Mar 20, 2020Made a metacritic account just to give this game a 10/10
Today is the day my Animal Crossing addiction began. -
Mar 20, 2020Great game, beautiful graphics, lots of heart and soul was put into this game. I’ve already spend hours just fishing that’s how good it is. It’s a good game for new and old fans.
-
Mar 20, 2020Ive seen a lot of these reviews saying, why is there only one island per switch. This was told to us way before the release, another thing, Anyone reading this debating whether or not to get it, please take the editors review more serious than these ones, as theres a group of Facebook switch members downrating the game on purpose, because they want another game to be higher rated :)

Mar 26, 2020Great game, so relaxing in these times. Everyone seems to be complaining about only one island per switch but I sort of like this idea. I am player two and there have only been a few things that I haven't been able to do but in the grand scheme of the game and the fact that you can explore so much.
-
Mar 24, 2020Amazing game. All the people review bombing are just entitled children don't let there review sway your decision to buy this awesome game.
-
Mar 24, 2020Good stuff, no idea why it's currently at a 6.5 y'all stay mad. Anyways chillie

Mar 24, 2020Brilliant game, true to the Animal Crossing series while trying out some fresh and effective mechanics such as crafting and terraforming. Don’t listen to people who are giving this game 0 stars— they’re just salty that you can only have one island per Switch?

Mar 28, 2020Y'all are being ridiculous. This game is phenomenal and it doesn't deserve to be review bombed because you can only have one island per system. I get it, kids won't enjoy the feature, but review bombing ignores how otherwise extraordinary this game is.
-
Apr 4, 2020The review bombing is dumb, this is a super polished and incredibly fun game that deserves all the praise and popularity its getting

Mar 28, 2020Amazing game. So much fun stuff to do. Very well made, both for tv and handheld use. Easily worth the money. Considering how much fun is to be had, it makes sense they put in some restrictions. Not worth complaining about, you’ll still get hundreds of hours out of it, each!
-
May 1, 2020To quote my girlfriend: "That's the best game I've ever played!".
And she is player number 2.
Good job. And shame on 0 bombers. The concept of the game is pretty clear, has always been. Having restriction makes me speak with my girlfriend about the island, how to make it better, together. -

May 5, 2020This is by far the best Animal Crossing title in the franchise! The world looks great, the villagers are bright and cheerful, and terraforming is very addicting. I recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a relaxing life-sim.
-
Jun 1, 2020Point and laugh at the children in the User Reviews giving this game a bad score just because of how salty they are.

May 19, 2020This is an amazing game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Apr 27, 2020The fact that it's getting review bombed speaks upon how absolutely amazing this game is. Y'all truly hate to see it winning.
-
Apr 29, 2020This is the most relaxing game on Switch, the single-player content is awesome. This is the place to meet new friends.
But why are people review-bombing this game? i know that "the one island per console" is bad, but its not a reason to give this 0/10. They did it on purpose.
Shame on you people. -

May 2, 2020A good way to relax despite what's going on in the world at the moment.
-
May 3, 2020Really good game, some people can think its a boring game but.... Well the point its to play a calm and peaceful game.
-
May 5, 2020The best animal crossing so far. I play it everyday without fail. I love how they keep updating it.
-

May 9, 2020It's a fun game mostly all I would expect from animal crossing the DIY is a great feature. It's a little crummy you can only build one island per console but with how they have it set up to visit other islands totally understandable. All around I think it is a great game and a big step up from the previous versionss.

Jul 22, 2020I'm surprised how low people rate this game. I've put in more than 200 hours and had a great time playing. This has been the perfect game for the lockdown in 2020. Also playing with another person on the same console same island makes it even more fun. If you put in 100+ hours in a game and had fun, that's at least a 9 out of 10 in my book. The value is incredible.
-
Mar 24, 2020Amazing game. Animal crossing has always been about multiple people all working together to make your town better. People complaining about only getting one island are missing what animal crossing is about.
-
Mar 24, 2020Really great game as always. The negative commentators are just **** I like everything they updated
-
Mar 20, 2020Super fun! Would recommend to any animal crossing fan! The island progression is really fun to go through and the book miles tasks are really engaging!
-
Mar 20, 2020Vários jogos do Switch só podem ter um save, eu não sei pra que reclamar tanto
-
Mar 20, 2020Best animal crossing game. Just everything I wanted for so so long. As a big animal crossing fan I'm giving this the yes.
Can't wait to experience so much more. -
Mar 26, 2020Если бы я хотел кровавой бойни за возможность построить совой "райский уголок" на нашей единственной в семье консоле Switch, то купил бы DOOM Eternal!
Самая, мать ее, мирная и добрая игра сезона. -
Mar 24, 2020Suddenly everyone wants to play with more than one island on a switch, 5 hours into the game and the game is fun, relaxing and I always find something to do great game that doesn't deserve the 0 peole that maybe havent even play the game yet.
-
Mar 25, 2020People voting 0 are just a bunch of cry babies. Just return your game. It's really good in my opinion. I love it.

Mar 24, 2020TODOS LOS QUE LE PONEN MENOS DE 8 A ESTE JUEGO, DÉJENME DECIRLES QUE SU OPINIÓN VALE CALLAMPA Y QUE A NADIE LE IMPORTA XD
-
Mar 24, 2020I love this game and its so fun and it's even better seeing it on your TV. The people who are complaining about this game only having one island for one switch. It's like that on new leaf too. Stop your complaining and go buy another switch for all the people in your family. I'm gonna enjoy every minute of this game as well as all the nice graphics and playing with my friends.
-
Apr 4, 2020ok, i get that people are mad about not having two people playable on the switch, but don't review bomb the game! 0/10 basically means the game is unplayable. at the least please rate this game with a mixed review. through the whole series, animal crossing has restricted you to one island per console. nintendo isnt going to listen to review bombing. anyways, this game is really good! simple 10/10
-
Apr 5, 2020The game is so funny is a GAME. For play !. Zeros ? Pls buy and play the game first.
-
Mar 20, 2020Best animal crossing game of all time. This is so beautiful. So comfy. Yeap GOTY.
-
Mar 20, 2020Best animal crossing game to date
I understand that it’s only one island per console but Nintendo might change that very soon as the production team of animal crossing are very passionate towards their games -
Mar 20, 2020I love animal crossing and this is the best title
everything is beautiful, everything is improved, and every animal crossing fan needs to play just say that.
for people who are saying that nintendo didn't warn about being an island by nintendo switch, it's a lie, everything was warned, we even had a nintendo direct of animal crossing talking about everything in the game. -
Mar 20, 2020The long awaited hype for the sequel to Animal Crossing New Leaf has been met!
The short delay was well worth it and I'm happy Nintendo took their time! -

Mar 24, 2020Taking Animal Crossing to new heights. Yes, there are some limitations, like only having one island per switch. But the amazing gameplay offered here more than makes up for that. And let's be honest, this is not an evil Nintendo scheme to sell more consoles, it's a classic Nintendo limitation to make players play and have fun together. Which is actually working really well in my household.

Mar 26, 2020This game is amazing and i am personally sick of this review bombing nonsense it is an incredible game and very relaxing for me personally I highly recommend you go out and buy it
-
May 15, 2020People are giving this a zero just because they are mad that they can't have more than one island! This game is one of the best switch games ever made. If the people weren't so passionate about this game..they wouldn't be on here giving it a zero...but a zero is rediculous!!

Apr 28, 2020I’m changing my review from a 5/10 to a 9/10 simply because I was too ignorant to give the game more of a chance and now that I have I’m genuinely enjoying the it.
-
May 5, 2020This game is great and people are salty you can only have one island per console. I will take a point off because there isn’t much to do in the late game but otherwise it is everything you’d come to expect from a modern animal crossing game.
-

-
Mar 24, 2020The best Animal Crossing yet. Ignore all the 0s, it's a bunch of children **** about one or two features instead of calmly and reasonably reviewing the game in totality.
-
Mar 26, 2020The people giving the game 0 are just wrong, its a fantastic game with 1 poor thing about it, the limitations but don't let that put you off.
-
Mar 24, 2020Charming & fun! If you’ve played an Animal Crossing game before you’ll know what to expect, if you haven’t, expect a relaxing journey building your own island paradise day by day in real time.

May 2, 2021A fantastic addition to the Animal Crossing series. A new purpose and island full of characters make this game much more special in my heart. With countless updates, this game will be fresh for years to come.
-
Mar 20, 2020Невероятная игра с уникальной атмосферой. Точнее то нужно для релакса в 2020!^_^
Не понимаю тех, кто ставит это милой игре 0 баллов. У вас нет чувств! -
Apr 16, 2020for evryone who hates the fact u can only have one island.

Jun 27, 2020Best game of Nintendo history. The GOTY 2020. Nintendo is a factory of amazing and perfect videogames. And ACNH is their best master game.
-
Jun 21, 2020Great game, play it so much. It does have some problems like having to have a separate switch to have separate islands, and lack of bulk crafting.
-
May 9, 2021Algumas melhorias são necessárias, como o excesso de diálogos, mas é um jogo que me faz querer jogar todos os dias e sem pressão
-
Aug 2, 2021Honestly, most of the haters and complainers of the game is people who had played more than 500 hours in less than a year, begging form more content in a 50$ with no DLCs game. It´s absurd. The game gives you a crazy amount of content and hours of fun. Relax and enjoy it, and remember, it is just a game!

Aug 10, 2020A very good game, in which you can relax and play a bit every day. The only bad thing would be the late game, after so many hours you do not have so much to do and it gets monotonous.
About the limitation of only one island I don't think it interferes with the experience. Just enjoy the game . -

Nov 16, 2020Very calming, super unique and just a great game to relax and turn your head of for a while. It's very cute and super satisfying to create your own island and collect all the things. Only thing that seriously annoys me are the long dialogues which can be a little painful if you have to click through the same exact dialogue for the 14-th time.

Jun 22, 2020This game is far from perfect, but it doesn't deserved the zeros. It's a great game to pass time especially in a time like this. Thanks for this game for giving us a sense of escapism

The DLC is good without being great, but still, adds a lot of fun. -
May 12, 2020This is the best Animal Crossing game I’ve played. The repetitive tasks are tedious at times but I play every single day.

May 29, 2020New Horizons is a great game, with plenty of personality and charm, and really bright and cheery visual design that is sadly held down by some UI and pacing problems. Despite this, it proves to be one of the Switch's best titles.

Dec 19, 2020Animal 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.
-
Jun 22, 2020Animal 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.
-
CD-ActionMay 12, 2020It’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]
