    Animal Crossing made the impossible: surpass Animal Crossing New Leaf. This is the definitive game in the series. AMAZING!

    Note: don't pay attention to the average mark, cause they are giving low averages with no sense.

The fun I am having has to do with the freedom to really design my own little Oasis. I usually shy away from design-driven games like Minecraft because I get bored very quickly... this however feels very different. There are goals to achieve and rewards to receive. The game gradually teaches you it's mechanics in a way that doesn't make me fatigued or bored- there's always something just around the corner to perk your interest.


    I cannot believe the negative reviews this game has received. I'm hoping these are kids that are "review bombing." The reviews are so juvenile in composition and riddled with silly, subjective reasoning-- it can't be written by anyone older than 12 (no offense).    … Expand

    I have played with online friends for several hours over the last couple of days, there is very little lag, and we are all having a blast.

    This doesn't really change much about the formula of animal crossing, and if you have been playing New Leaf for 7 years straight, you may prefer just staying in your old town. But if you want a definitive, next-gen animal crossing on console, this is the best (I mean, the only, but also the best) thing for it.

    It's beautiful, adorable, and a better experience than any AC game that came before it. If you are an AC fan, go ahead and get it. if you're not an AC fan, this might change your mind.

    If you only wanted to buy this game because of a certain type of multiplayer that you wish it had, but has never had, was never planned to have, and had never been described as having, then go get another game. But it's a great experience, and you will be missing out.

The fact of the matter is the switch is a singer player device that offers multiplayer options, and they are not obligated to do anything. Additionally, people are not being patient enough to get through the introductory period in game, after you wait through the introductory period, all characters will eventually be able to add things outside and terraform. I absolutely despise how susceptible people are to outrage culture, and how impatient people are. If you aren't patient enough to play this game, then that's on you because the nature of AC is to make progress slowly. Sorry you all weren't instantly gratified.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First, I do not share my switch with anyone so I do not experience the account problems listed in the Negative reviews.

    As an AC veteran, this game fulfilled my wishes from when I was a 5-yr old playing the gamecube version. The game gives you so many options to live your life on the island. You have just about total control over every single thing on the island.

    What a lot of people love about the AC series is that THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE. You can do literally whatever you want. You have the OPTION to fill the museum, buy every single item, buy every single piece of clothing, and even refuse to pay off your loan from Tom Nook because we all know he's greedy. That is the beauty of this series. It's not meant to be played by the traditional gamer who expects the game to end. That's why so many people have been playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf since it's release date in 2013!

    It's a relaxing game filled with so much more personality than New Leaf. Just yesterday, one of my villagers was singing by the lake for 20 minutes! You can see villagers sweeping, building - my poor Biff has yet to catch a bug and gets super sad about it.

    Overall: "Enjoy the small things in life." "Live in the moment." This is what Animal Crossing New Horizons means to me    … Expand

    You could ALWAYS only have 1 town. This has been a thing in every multiplayer installment of Animal Crossing. Every single one. The point is to have multiple people COOPERATE on one island rather than compete. In any case, that is ONE facet of this game. That is one little thing. A majority of the gameplay is solo. If you went into this expecting something different, that's not at the fault of the game at all.

    The fact that many cite the multiplayer as what makes this game a 0 out of 10 speaks LEVELS to how amazing it is. Imagine for example if someone hated how boring a game like Mario Maker is if you didn't have internet. That's what these complaints amount to.

    Almost every system has been streamlined and made easier or expanded upon with the exception of one: Tools. Furniture can be obtained in many ways, now randomly dropping from balloons (rather than just specific items), being able to be crafted, being able to be bought with both bells and nook miles, given away by villagers, found in trees, gifted by special characters, and of course from friends. On top of this, an improved customization system allows for you to change the appearance of many items on the fly, and for those that allow custom designs, that system has been expanded in all senses of the word: pixel art is now smoothed out, making it less immersion breaking. You can store a myriad of designs rather than 16. You have absolute control over the palette you color with instead of presets.

    Placing furniture is also a lot easier. Taking ideas from Pocket Camp and Happy Home Designer, furniture can be manipulated on a much smaller set of tiles than in previous games. A "1 tile wide" object can be placed on half tiles, for example. An overhead view can be utilized in homemaking to manipulate many objects at a time. Wall items can be placed anywhere on the wall, even vertically above each other. Light objects are now dynamic, allowing you to really set the mood of your home beyond just their color.

    Furniture can of course, now be placed outside, meaning you have control over your entire town instead of simply your house and a small handful of monuments. This opens up the floodgates for a truly custom experience, and in a few weeks time, I am excited to visit the towns of strangers to see the creations they built.

    Villagers have a lot more personality now. Each one will interact with the world around them and have their own tastes in furniture and clothing. While before, their personality amounted simply to what bit of dialog they spat out when greeting you at best (Sporty villager always talks about sports), this has been expanded into them actually having a preference for what furniture they want on the island, what things they want you to craft, what they give you. I had a villager give me a hat once and I wore it. In previous games, that would be the end of that exchange, but in New Horizons, later talking to the villager, he had thanked me for actually wearing his gift from days prior. They acknowledge what objects are made for now, you'll have them say "I exercise with this kettle bell!" or "This wooden double bed is so comfortable to sleep in!" rather than "This is my favorite [insert furniture name here]" over and over. You will find NPCs sleeping under trees, or reading a book with their glasses on, or dusting their home. It feels more alive.

    Now, for the flaws. Kind of. New Horizons puts you in the role of a resident who just moved onto a deserted island, and you have to build up from there. Now, this is a very interesting experience starting out, and I actually love the idea of it. You gather materials to build your tools to build better things and unlock more decor or better tools, a la many survival games. The issue with it however is the late game. When you get to the end of Minecraft, Terraria, Ark, what have you, you have the best tools that almost never break. There are no equivalents thus far, the best tools are twice as good as the base tools, which isn't fantastic.

    The next issue is 1 island, which while minor, is still an issue as with all the creative opportunity, you have but one canvas to work on. If you want two distinctly themed islands, you have to remove the first to do that, and it's a little heartbreaking.

    Other than those two things however, the game improves on everything Animal Crossing, and I would recommend it to all Switch owners, and say it's a NECESSITY for any Animal Crossing player.    … Expand

And please stop giving the game zeroes for not having features that weren't advertised. Nintendo made it clear that it was one island per Switch. I don't agree with it, but at least give the game a seven or eight and give a substantive review.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve always been a huge animal crossing fan as well as my mum, playing since Wild World. I have been so excited for this game for so long, which couldn’t have come at a better time btw. The game is visually amazing and there is so much more flexibility, more challenges and more to do. Placing items inside and outside, the crafting and customisation mechanic, choosing where villagers live, terraforming and waterscaping which are available later on are all unimaginably amazing features and really let you customise your island. Being able to play with 7 other friends is amazing, I have made huge use of this feature, having a large amount of friends who also play the game and this has enabled me to feel less isolated as well. I don’t understand why people complain about only being able to have one island, me and my mum have always had 2 characters on the same town and absolutely love it. We can customise ourselves and homes individually as well as sharing many experiences, such as working together to complete the museum donations etc and doing things for each other when the other is absent. The amazing thing now is that 2 people can play on one system at the same time, which is something we could never do before and I have absolutely loved doing this! People who say for 2 people in the same house to play together you need 2 switches, that’s simply not true at all. In the past this was true as you could only play one at a time and would need 2 3ds and local play, but now this is not needed as you can much more easily enjoy playing together as well as apart. People who leave 0/10 reviews obviously have no clue what they are talking about and can’t appreciate how great this game is and how many amazing editions have been made -crafting, customisation in seconds, placing everything where you want, changing your whole island layout, being able to pick up entire trees and move them, being able to expand your inventory, new hairstyles and facial features that you can change when you want much more flexible pro designs- can now make hoodies and different types of dresses etc and more!! The villagers are so much more lifelike as well. This gave is everything I wanted it to be and has really helped our family and my friends get though this difficult time and connect.… Expand

That's what the Switch Lite is for, it's meant to be the 3DS/DS/GBA to the Wii U/Wii/GC of its generation, except we get to play all the same games now. So like before, get your own system and copy of the game, business as usual. You probably were a single console multiple handheld family before, so be a multiple Switch family.    … Expand

I have read all other people's reviews and the people giving it a bad review either new absolutely nothing about the series or did absolutely zero research before purchasing the game. I would give this game a solid 10/10 but I have to give it a 9 just because the game seems to start out more slowly than any of the others in the series and parts of the game feel a little more like work and more tedious than previous games. I would have liked the game to have started out with at least 3 villagers instead of 2 but all these things are very little complaints.

Though I am honestly really glad that I can share the island with my siblings, but that being said, it should be completely optional whether you want to share the island or not. Finally, I don't really get why everyone are assuming Nintendo's intentions behind this decision; this was a thing for as long as I remember in the Wii days (Probably even GameCube?) to share the island/neighborhood with local users, and obviously Nintendo's intentions weren't for you to go buy another Wii; it was purely a game design decision that has nothing to do with forcing people to buy another console, and no one really complained about this in the past as much as now and that's why they never considered adding the "feature" of having multiple islands per console since they assumed that what's not broken doesn't need fixing.

I got Pocket Camp on IOS and played it for a maximum of 20 minutes. It was simple and bland and turned me off the series while i still respected it. I thought it just wasn’t for me. Boy was I wrong (And i should’ve assumed that the mainline games were much better than the free mobile game). When Animal Crossing New Horizons was revealed, i thought it looked charming and was interested in giving it a go and i’m so glad i did. So far this game has been a magical experience. Watching the deserted island grow into a thriving society is very satisfying. Gameplay is so calming but also engaging. The game starts slow and progresses while you complete tasks, fish, catch bugs, pick weeds, and build houses for upcoming residents. If i could say one thing to new players: It’s ok if you feel like you’ve done everything you need to for the day and feel like you should put the game down. This game is all about patience which can sometimes be frustrating but also very rewarding. Some days, once you’ve done your daily tasks like gather materials and talking to the villagers, there’s not much else to do and you have to wait until the next day where more stuff will be available. This game is designed to be played over several months and years so don’t rush it and take your time, building your town and getting everything the way you want it. This game is absolutely visually stunning Running at a gorgeous 1080p 30fps. That 30fps might seem like a bit of a bummer, but rest assured it stays at 30fps and never dips and still looks very smooth. The best thing about this game is it’s charm. Talking to each character is such an enjoyable experience. Multi playing with friends is smooth with no lag and a good way to trade items. This game is very addicting and you’ll most likely find yourself spending hours into the night. Keep in mind that the game will keep posing new quests and challenges weeks down the line. But a lot of this game is customisation and making your town look the way you want. I love this game so much, and if you are in the slightest bit interested, give it a try. I didn’t think this sort of game was for me either, but that is because it’s not enjoyable to watch someone else play the game but having your own journey is where the charm lies.… Expand

Those new to Animal Crossing will love the game, and those who have played an AC game, or fans since the original (like me) will absolutely adore it. - kkslider… Expand

    Animal Crossing New Horizons, is by far the best game in the series. The game starts off differently from every other animal crossing.You start in a barren island with 2 other villagers and a very bare bones shop. You also can’t reach the majority of the island yet. As you progress you gain new tools that help collect bugs, fish, and building supplies. You’ll eventually see more shops moveAnimal Crossing New Horizons, is by far the best game in the series. The game starts off differently from every other animal crossing.You start in a barren island with 2 other villagers and a very bare bones shop. You also can’t reach the majority of the island yet. As you progress you gain new tools that help collect bugs, fish, and building supplies. You’ll eventually see more shops move in as you also gain new tools like the pole vault and ladder to explore the rest of the island. It’s extremely fun to see the island develop into a full on town. While the game does take days to get new things, you can easily skip that process by using time travel (I personally don’t). My main complaint is the multiplayer. For at least where I am now, there’s not much to do besides visit your friends island and not much more. But in end I do really enjoy my time playing the game and think it’s an easy 10/10 game.… Expand

    This game is a heap if fun for all animal crossing veterans and new players! The new crafting feature is really intuitive and it dowant feel like some crafting is put of reach like in other games. The game is rewarding and always gives you something to work on. I'm really glad I picked it up.

    Polished and fun! Some features that other animal crossings start with are now behind a few long steps (Town Hall), but the new landscaping and online are amazing fun!

    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]
