    - The cut scenes when people join and leave your island are annoying after a while and are far too long.
    - The island tours need to provide more of a benefit because if you have enough friends, you likely will have all of the fruit anyway.    … Expand

    Absolutely loving the game so far, I love how it's equal amounts of hand-holding and letting you do whatever you want. Can't wait to play this for many years like the previous games. But Nintendo really needs to add more than one island per switch...

It’s pathetic and it shows how low Nintendo will go to sell more consoles. If it wasn’t for this the game would be rated much higher but this is a definite deal breaker.

Good job nintendo, you really got those evil time travelers that were SERIOUSLY cutting into your bank- oh wait, time traveling affects no one but the player who might otherwise not be able to play due to travel/work/school.
    Game feels unfinished, hundreds of items cut, many characters cut (so no point to the amiibo features to get your fave villagers unless you're lucky), swimming/gyroids/paintings/99% of special npcs cut, everywhere you look theres cut content that we get to hopefully wait for nintendo to drip feed us while a chorus of people repeat that "HEY. This next update in a week/a month/a year MIGHT be the one that gives us a few more basic features. MAYBE you should just stop complaining since now theres SO many new things like...oh wait, the furniture placement stuff is from hhd, and crafting furniture from harvested material to place outside is from pocket camp so. nothing new except this stick i can use to cross rivers i guess."
    -2 points for unfinished game at launch, -2 cut content over all, & -3 for nintendos controlling attitude & fans acting like just because they personally didn't LOVE a feature/got lucky the things they liked are in game means the cuts dont matter. 3 remaining are for graphics, which are a vast improvement from other installments.    … Expand

    By far one of the most charming games of 2020. The game offers a variety of tasks and adventure to explore with its new deserted island theme. The DIY crafting mechanic allows you to build new items instead of buying them like in past game and offers new uses for existing material on your island. The characters are charming and have unique personalities that keep the game refreshing.

Storytime: two days before launch, I read about this one island policy and was terrified. I don't have a lot of money, so my girlfriend and I share a switch and don't buy many games. She doesn't play much, so I was thrilled when Animal Crossing was announced because it looks like her type of game. Fast forward to me learning about the island, and I expressed my concerns to her. She said to me that it would be okay and we would just share. To my dismay, sharing is not an option. Only the primary player can progress the game. Any big progression moments must be done only by the one player. Any additional players just have to exist and not partake in progression. That is evil. This is the worst thing I've seen from Nintendo. I played for two hours and decided to stop and let my girlfriend play. Again, I couldn't believe how terribly the second player is treated. No new resources spawn for each player. I only played for two hours and it was enough for it to be impossible for her to progress in any capacity. She has now decided she will never play again because she tried to play but wasn't able to since she hit a complete brick wall after ten minutes. We tried to figure it out on the second day, and ultimately this game is not compatible with multiple players. If you are the only person on the switch, this game is great. If you have anyone else at all who playsthe console, the game does not work. I'm giving this a 0/10 because of how disappointed and sad my girlfriend is. Games should not bring this much upset to anyone. Games are to enjoy, not to make you miserable. Nintendo is evil. This game is terrible. I hope they patch it out but I know they won't. Nintendo is just as evil as EA.… Expand

    Incredible game. It's definitely a must buy for anyone who enjoys creativity, relaxation, and just carefree fun. It's definitely slow and low-stakes, so if you lack patience and an imagination, go play some looter shooter or something. If you put time and work into this game, it will pay off, and the feeling of accomplishment you have when you end up with a beautiful island is amazing. 10/10

Unfortunately, I live in a household with multiple people and only one Switch and the game only allows 1 island per Switch console. Furthermore the game is designed to give the person who initially creates the island far more agency than players who join afterwards (naming the town, doing initial town building quests). Additionally the game does not account for multiple people being on the island and always generates the same amount of resources per day, meaning anyone that plays after someone else is liable to not find any wood, stone or fruit until the next literal day of the week. All of this combines to make the local multiplayer experience terrible. All other games on the switch allow for different user profiles to create new save files, why is this not the case for Animal Crossing? On Gamecube I was able to buy another memory card to create another town, for New Horizons I would have to buy a completely new Switch and copy of the game to have another island. Do not buy this game if you have brothers, sisters, parents, friends, lovers, dogs or grandparents interested in playing it, unless of course you're somehow not affected by the global pandemic and can drop another 500 dollars so you can both play happily.… Expand

    Uninspired, unoriginal and any other poor adjective you can think of. The game has developed a disgusting cult following that will avidly defend the game even if it came out with trees reminiscent of trees running on the N64 (which would probably look better than this game). Unlike Pokemon Sword and Shield, this game doesn't have the same pull that drags you away from your every day life.

    Sharing an Island thoughts:
    So far we both find it excellent and have had no issues with sharing an Island. I should qualify the review by stating that I played the GameCube version extensively and put some 80 hours into the 3DS version so I haven't played all iterations of the game. Still, I have no issues with two people sharing an island as long as the primary player initiates it so player 2, 3 and 4 aren't held back.
    I always enjoyed the shared experiences of animal crossing. How one player would teach the computer characters specific words. You and your siblings arguing over who ran over all the flowers. Competing to get rare fossils first. To me that was the fun of the game. Personally, I think so long as you aren't a control freak this is more fun forcing multiple players into a shared space.

    Actual Game Review:
    I love it. To anyone who has played the game before this is a natural progression. If you feel you are ready for a new instalment it appears to have everything you would want. If you haven't played before you need to be prepared for what the actual game is. Professional reviews would describe it more articulately but it is a basic communication game. This may sound like one of those mobile games where you have to play every few hours to harvest stuff and trade things but the design predates that genre by several years. Animal Crossing is a game where you basically hang out on an island with NPC's who you chat with and just hang out. They are like virtual friends. They learn your speech and are happy to see you. You gradually develop the island by changing the landscape and adding little customizations all around. These are all small almost mindless tasks but it gives you a felling of touching up your home. You can also visit friends islands which is much easier in the modern age of the internet than it use to be. It is all fun in a passive sort of way. The game is ideally played for around 15 to 30 min a day every day for years. You do a few tasks and watch how the world changes with the seasons and holidays. Slowly collecting things and changing the world. I imagine some of the negative reviews are people trying to marathon the game because they are stuck inside due to the virus outbreak. You can play for hours a day but that probably isn't the best way to enjoy things as the game clock is part of what drives progress. If these things sound pleasant and fun you might like it. Animal Crossing really is an acquired taste but I am happy to say that the format still has life left in it after all these years.    … Expand

    If you're planning to play with more than one person the second player is really more of an afterthought. They get their own house and items but they can't progress the story and actually miss out on some of the interactions. The game seems really fun but it is incredibly greedy to not allow both players to have a full experience without owning additional switches.

    One island per console ruined the game for me. After my girlfriend set up the island, I realized I'm basically a guest in her island for pretty much anything now. It's not even proper sharing - she's the owner and I'm her guest in the Island.

    Would be a perfect 10 if it weren't for the unnecessarily clunky couch co-op (especially considering how well the first animal crossing implemented it) you have a primary player who can play the game as normal and a secondary player who can...

Sit there and look pretty? They can pick up items, albeit slowly with an annoying animation playing each time and items are sent to the recycle bin instead of your inventory. You can fish and catch bugs, but only as long as they're on the same screen as the primary player (they are often much more spread out so there is only one at a time on the screen)The only saving grace is the fact that you can switch who the primary is by simply shaking the controllers. Otherwise this installment of animal crossing is vastly improved from the previous games, with better visuals, customisation and more quality of life improvements than i can count. In older animal crossing games i only found a couple hours of things to do per day, in New horizons there seems to be a plethora of activities to take part in with new activities opening up the more i play. The new ability to Terraform the landscape and really shape the island to my liking is a more than welcome addition and makes me feel like I'm really starting a little town of my very own! If you are playing on your own, you won't be able to find a better animal crossing experience! If you are buying this to play with a friend, however, just keep the limitations of couch co-op in mind before you buy. Nintendo should have been more transparent about this clunky co-op pre-launch but i know exactly why they weren't (and Tom Nook would have done the same thing)… Expand

    But what's worse is a local coop, the second player is basically a slave of the main one without inventory and even being able to proper pick-up stuff (so you have to jump around the main player for usual exchange). Not to mention the second player animation every time it picks sth up from the ground (like "hey I found this") especially annoying when you have those quests like collect 200 sth. Also, the second player is unable to do anything while the first one is in the inventory menu.

    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]
