    This game is very good.
    But I don't know why user ratings are being attacked.
    Perhaps the Forest of Animals will win the Game of the Year in 2020.
    It's amazing how you can create a game where you can heal with these cute and cute animals when it's not a violent and stimulating game.

    This was my escape for the first few weeks of lockdown. Fun and relaxing, I only stopped playing after visiting friends' islands and seeing how much time they put into them and realising there was no way I was going to do the same.

    Es una combinación de relajación y diversión. Hay tanto por hacer que el proceso de mejorar tu isla y decorarla a tu gusto se vuelve adictivo. Deberían de quitar la opción de una isla por consola, es estúpido.

    Propongo una lista de juegos que pueden curar los malos días, la tristeza, la depresión y el estrés, Animal Crossing: New Horizons formaría parte de ella.

    Really enjoyed it. Has some pacing issues and if you don't want to timeskip you run out of stuff to do pretty quickly. If you're an old fan of the series, you're gonna love this one. If you're new to town, get ready for some minor but strange mistakes.

    It is a really fun game that I can share with all kinds of gamers. The game aesthetic is charming and customization is incredible. The plot is non existence and the game can grow rote.

    While I would give this game a 10/10 the fact that there is only one island per switch is kinda garbage but the game is really fun

    It’s a great game, but it’s not GOTY contender. I was done with it in about a week, which is a compliment, I sunk a lot of hours into building up my island. The problem with this game is that after I beat it, I had no urge to go back. I had no thoughts about it, no anything.

    Veo que uno de los problemas que se comenta en toda review es la funcionalidad de una isla por consola. Hijos míos, esto lleva funcionando así, por lo menos, desde el Wild World. No sé cuál es la sorpresa.

    Como contras diré lo siguiente: La cantidad de objetos del juego es escasa, a mi parecer. Los eventos semanales son bastante repetitivos: Que si viene Gandulio, que si viene CJ, que si vuelve a venir Gandulio... Sin embargo, no me quejo tanto de que vengan de vez en cuando estos personajes, sino de que resulta realmente difícil que venga Ladino.

    Como detalle neutral diré lo siguiente: El sistema de edición física de la isla es increíble, pero se hecha en falta poder hacer puentes sobre terrenos y no sólo sobre ríos, o el poder hacer túneles, al cavar una sección de tierra bajo otra, etc.    … Expand

    Without a doubt, the thousands of customization options in the game allow everyone to have an island to their liking. The online multiplayer mode is as good as its predecessor games, the only thing that it does not preserve is the possibility of meeting unknown people, which was very good if you had no friends.

The part that multiple people share the same island on the same console is something that all the games in the series have done, I share an island with 3 other people and we are all satisfied. It is definitely a great game that I have been playing for hundreds of hours. With all the updates they will add, I am sure it will be very difficult for me to stop playing it.… Expand

    Following your first steps off the plane you’re hit with an awesome sense of adventure. One that continues day after day, there’s plenty to do, see and customise. It’s exactly what people need right now. However a frustrating crafting, inventory and online system is all that stands in the way of New Horizons and a 10.

    Great game for passing time, the multiplayer mechanics are pretty bad, but unless you're sharing your switch it's pretty much whatever, the events make for a great way to look forward to the date. The updates give more content in a paced manner that helps the game not feel overwhelming.

    great game, especially if you're not sharing a console with anyone. The ability to redesign your island and move things around is a great addition to the game, though even in this there are some arbitrary buildings/structures that cannot be moved, and this seems silly.

    Probably the most relaxing game I've ever played and was the biggest comfort I've had during quarantine. For the first three months, I literally could not put it down.

    After six months of playing on my 5-star island, I do have to admit I've run out of things to do. I only log in once in a while to fill out my catalogue, say hello to my favorite neighbors, or the occasional new idea project that arises. I do really admire how Nintendo puts out monthly updates to keep you interested, though I haven't really found any of them to be super substantial besides the swimming update. I would've liked more quality-of-life improvements to make crafting and decorating more seamless, or even some multiplayer additions. It's always fun to visit my friends' islands and vice versa, though visiting is really the only extent as you can't build or play games together. My time with the game now is more pleasant than it is life-drainingly engaging. But it's hardly something I can really fault the game for, because I put over 170 hours into it! Most games I can't even break 30 hours before I'm tired of it.

    I know I'll never be done with it, even if I don't play it as much now. And I know, I'll be eating up any new Animal Crossing games should they ever make another. For now, I'll keep holding out for a multiple islands update or some multiplayer minigames.    … Expand

    Animal Crossing New Horizons still has the charm of the old games. So many things that the developers have kept the same - with some minor changes.
    I was really excited when the game came out and I played it for about one month straight. I know that this AC is mainly targeting new players, but all in all many things just are a little bit too easy.

    I was really excited when the game came out and I played it for about one month straight. I know that this AC is mainly targeting new players, but all in all many things just are a little bit too easy.
    I've filled the fossils in the museum after around 60 days of playing. When I think of Wild World and New Leaf, this felt way too quick. Also to pay your house and all other expenses to Tom Nook was really easy.
    What I really like is the new interaction of the villagers, how they are not just simply walking around anymore, but do different kind of actions, they react to the environment and with each other. This is incredibly cute and makes them feel much more lively.
    Even though the developers announce new updates and tried to slow the progress of the game down with the different waiting times for e.x. the museum, the excitement for this game burnt down rather quick.
    Additionally, I am really bummed about the furniture. There is so much less than in New Leaf and so many sets were thrown out... resulting in always getting the same kind of furniture in Balloons, Trees, the Nook Cranny and so on. And this is kinda frustrating.
    I personally think they did this so you visit other islands more often, but for me Animal Crossing is a game to relax and often I just want to play for myself.
    Still, I am playing Animal Crossing almost daily, as I am excited for the visitors and now with the Summer Update, I love swimming around and collecting more sea life. But I am not playing as much anymore as I was used to. Often I just do the dailys like collecting miles or the DIY recipe (which never results in a new DIY) and that's it.

    BTW: Everyone who hates on "there is just one island" has never played an Animal Crossing before - and it shows. They always just had one city for one game. That this wouldn't be different on the Switch was obvious. Just inform yourself correctly and don't blame the game for it.    … 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]
