    Can't unlock terra forming because im not the island representative... Why s this a feature???? I quit the game because i WOULD HAVE TO RESTART by buying the game again for a third time to get it right. Absolute joke. There is no possible way for me to unlock terra forming without restarting.

    One island per console is a pathetic limitation and I will endeavour never to purchase anything associated with the game, its developers or its brand (Nintendo, too, shall be relegated to the dung heap of history as it was for me for decades before the Switch gave compelling reason for me to consider them before this blatant compulsion to buy a second console for one games' ease of use).

    The bottle neck that is one island representative per Nintendo switch is by far the worst game mechanic imposed on players.

The first player who starts anything in the game is now the representative and if they quit a week later then you have to restart your entire island and progress to appoint a new representative. That could be hours upon hours of progress which you have to restart because of a broken mechanic. What’s the point of a representative to begin with? Every save file should have their own island and Nintendo should allow people to progress at their own rates. Terrible game mechanic. If you own a switch with multiple people who play on it, avoid this game. It will create family feuds and will be a waste of your hard earned dollars if you’re going to share the game.… Expand

    Three words: secondary players sucks. And it is not normal that for the fact of including the multiplayer, the second, third and on going players have to stuck in doing nothing instead of having their own islands and fully enjoying the game.

    This game deserves less than a zero, because if you share the game with another person, such as a sibling, one player will have all content locked behind a $200 paywall, because of the idiotic one island per console.

    However, problems begin to surface when you want to play with another person. I purchased this game to make the corona quarantine easier for me and my gf, but as soon as her character arrived at the island (I arrived first), we found out she was nothing more than a 'secondary' citizen.

    She couldn't get new DIY recipes, participate in new projects, put things in the museum or even help with existing projects. Her progress was limited by mine, and since I don't play as much as her, she basically got a watered down version of the game.

    This is obviously a conscious design decision on Nintendo's part to encourage players to purchase more Switch consoles, since you cannot have more than one island on the same one. This creates a TERRIBLE experience for anyone who is not the first player - I can only imagine how much this would suck for a whole house of people who want to play together.

    This is similar in vein to how the online features are locked only to players with an online subscription. If they are not present - other local players can't play online, so the only way to work around this is to create the online subscriber's character in local multiplayer using another controller, and then just have them stand around, allowing other players to use online features. Again, a stupid, GREEDY design decision by Nintendo.    … Expand

    The first player gets a very nice experience, it could be a good game, but Nintendo had to try to force people to buy personal switches so they severly limited the non-first players gameplay.

    This may be a family friendly game but it is not a family game. Only one person can play this game at a time. You can not start a second island in a family game. Gameplay is good but I would only recomend this game if you are buying it for one kid and dont plan to play yourself.This one decision ruined a otherwise fine game.

    Review bombers have formed a very vocal echo chamber on here, but instead of focusing on the negatives that can be fixed, the game itself is objectively one of the best in the series. For those new to the AC experience, don't expect a ton of varied gameplay.

    ACNH has the most customization of any Animal Crossing title, allowing a wide variety of furniture and decorations to be customized to your liking.

    It is obnoxious that there is only one island per console, and that player 2 really doesn't have much to do until the main player progresses, but a lot of these issues were disclosed well before launch.

    Preface: I've been playing animal crossing since the gamecube game and AC is one of my favorite gaming series of all time... that being said, this game is a bit of a disappointment.

    Things I like: -Customizing island via terraforming -crafting items as a means of gaining furniture -the island tours -the graphics -the music - ability to place items outside - the fencing system    Preface: I've been playing animal crossing since the gamecube game and AC is one of my favorite gaming series of all time... that being said, this game is a bit of a disappointment.

    Things I like:
    -Customizing island via terraforming
    -crafting items as a means of gaining furniture
    -the island tours
    -the graphics
    -the music
    - ability to place items outside
    - the fencing system
    -the general gameplay
    - camera controls inside home
    -Happy Home Designer inspired customization features inside of home

    Things I don't like:
    -Very lacking list of obtainable furniture
    -No nintendo items
    - many missing furniture sets from previous games
    - The available furniture is uninspired and bland
    -only two stores available, no brewsters, no kicks, no garden store
    - No ressetti
    -No art, Redd, or art wing of museum
    -Nooks store only upgrades once
    -Can't buy crafted furniture from catalog
    - crafting tools is nothing more than an annoyance
    - Golden tools break so there's no point in unlocking them
    - Isabelle telling me absolutely nothing at the beginning of every day
    - the fish and insects are no longer animated when viewing the fish/insect dex
    - not fish/ bug sizes
    - I've already said this in a way... BUT HAVING TO CRAFT TOOLS EVERY FIFTEEN MINUTES IS MADDENING

    This game took 2 Steps forward with the increased customization of the island outside of one's home, placing furniture outside is great and really changes the game - but this game took 50 steps back with all of the cut material. All in all, its a decent enough game and I have enjoyed my time with it... but I'm starting to realize how empty it is. It really just makes me want to go back and play animal crossing new leaf. If i'm only going to have two stores anyways, I'd rather play wild world.
    Being able to customize the island is cool and all, but it really doesn't make up for losing so much of what has made this franchise great. I hope that more of the cut content is added in the future. If we never get more shops, and nintendo items aren't added, I can't see myself playing this game for very long. I'll likely go back to new leaf or wild world. In those games I absolutely loved getting all the furniture I could in order to make my house as unique and homely as possible... in new horizons I have three rooms, two of which are completely empty because the furniture I have obtained is so boring...

    I had been looking forward to this game for a long time, but unfortunately I share my switch console with another AC player. So now I have to share an island and when I log on there aren't even sticks left to complete the DIY workshop. On top of that if I want my own island I can't even blow money on a second copy of the game; I would have to buy an entire new console. What a joke.

    The game is by far the best animal crossing. It takes every animal crossing game & expands upon it. Which is everything we ask for in sequels.

    For all I know it may be an amazing game. However, after playing it for an hour, I was bored to tears. Even new leaf wasn't as boring in the first hour and I disliked that animal crossing too. I've played every animal crossing game and have to say that this one just didn't interest me. The most important role for any media is to hook the players, and this game failed miserably in that regard.

Really has the iconic animal crossing feel with a little bit of a twist which I feel is needed as I've aged with the series. I would give this a 10 but that is only due to the island's being on the slightly smaller size to my liking as the previous versions had just a tad more breathing room. My gf and I our currently playing on our own switch and have had no issues with connecting to one another and going doing our own thing or helping each other gather resources. It is a solo based playthrough/gameplay but with the added touch of a very easily setup multiplayer system, we have enjoyed it a lot with each others company. I'm unsure how are complaints of a shared world is a problem as this is how it's always been in which individuals shared their island/continent with other family members but if this does not effect you, you will have a really great time in animal crossing.… Expand

    People need to get over themselves. Does it suck that it is one island per switch? Yes, but it has been that way since the FIRST GAME. One town per memory card. Convenient people forget that huh? The game is fine, a new twist on the formula.

    I’m not sure if the majority of the people giving a zero rating for being unable to have more than one island per switch have ever played Animal crossing before but it’s always been that way. It seems a little harsh to completely bash the game because you don’t know it’s history and made your own assumptions. Aside from that, I did feel that the tools breaking is more than inconvenient,I’m not sure if the majority of the people giving a zero rating for being unable to have more than one island per switch have ever played Animal crossing before but it’s always been that way.

    The game is great. I was an avid player of New Leaf, and this game is an improvement in most ways.

    The graphics are amazing. I actually love taking pictures in my little town because of how pretty the water is and how nicely my character is rendered. Catching critters and chopping trees feels the same as New Leaf, which is to say, good. I really appreciate the ability to choose where    The game is great.

I really appreciate the ability to choose where the other villagers live and being able to place furniture outside. Overall it's a very strong addition to the series.

    That being said, I hate that the tools can break now. It's pretty annoying when you're in the middle of a long spree of fishing or catching bugs and your tool breaks in the middle of it. I hate tool durability in general, but in a game that's supposed to just be about chilling out and having fun, this feels more like a chore. The crafting system as a whole is sort of meh to me, and I'm sure I won't like it more as my playthrough goes on.

    Overall I'm giving this game a ten purely because Animal Crossing is always going to be one of my favorite comfort games, and New Horizons is an amazing update to the franchise.    … Expand

    Another peaceful and relaxing game from Animal Crossing. I love the cute characters that you can have move in to your island and all the customisation options. I also love how it’s done in real time. It keeps you coming back for more!

    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]
