    I don't like leaving bad reviews like this, but it's the only option for me as a consumer. The 1 island restriction is trash and far worse than previous games. The second player has an overall worse experience with many features locked out from them, and unlike previous games this is not solved by simply buying a new memory card or a second game cart.

The second player has an overall worse experience with many features locked out from them, and unlike previous games this is not solved by simply buying a new memory card or a second game cart. This is not consumer friendly and forces players in the same household to buy multiple Switches if they want the full experience. At least in New Leaf you can transfer your house as the second player if you wanted to be the mayor of your own town, such a feature is not possible here. To add insult to injury the lack of real Cloud Saves is a joke, especially when it's a service we pay extra for. A first party service like Cloud Saves should be compatible with all first party games.… Expand

    However, I'm giving this game a bad score because of the mangled couch co-op / multiple profile experience. The first profile to start the game becomes the Resident Representative. This is the only player who is able to further progress the story / quests. The second player is merely a glorified island resident. Why did Nintendo decide to not let me, the second player, place homes, help with tasks or even get the same recipes as the first player?

    Here's a list of what I'm not able to do:
    - I do not get the same DIY recipes (this includes things like the axe, shovel, etc. Essential tools!)
    - I am not asked to help upgrade the island
    - I am not invited to participate in new projects
    - I cannot help my girlfriend with her own island projects
    - I am not even allowed to check in-progress projects to see what resources are needed.

    Tom Nook literally tells me to ask my girlfriend what she needs.

    The multiple profile experience has been absolutely horrid so far and managed to seriously impact how my girlfriend and I play this game together. We were very excited about this game and were ultimately let down. Thanks, Nintendo.    … Expand

This has locked my wife and son out of the game for pacing and my son who typically wakes up early to play consumes all the island resources. Ultimately I could just restart on the lite but that would lock me out of the TV side which I enjoy. So the solution would not be to buy another copy of the game it would be to buy a another full switch console. This makes my rating of the game go from a 9-10 to a 2. Another thing which I don't think many have addressed: If I (the first person to play) quits playing the island progression stops too for my son.

    This game is completely awesome if you are the only one playing on a single switch. But having to share a switch and second players being degraded to a lesser status of not being able to progress the island completely ruins the two player experience on the same switch.

The zen style of gameplay is a nice change from the usual, though I wish they put more thought into this games as the design of some aspects seem short sighted.

    Most jarringly at first I noticed was the 5am gates. Any time you progress the island a step, the game will lock any further progression behind a 5am tomorrow gate. Mind you this isn't real time, as it will unlock at 5am tomorrow regardless of when you hit the gate. This makes certain buildings a chore, most notably the museum. You get gated after 5 donations to Tom then after 15 more donations to Blathers, which is then followed by a mandatory 24h construction period. This process takes 48 to 72 hours depending on when you made the first 5 donations, which feels annoying because you need to hold onto any discoveries you find for that time.

    Next is progression, which for the most part punishes you for doing so. A good example of this is buying from Timmy & Tommy. At the start of the game you can buy & sell from them freely until you get Nook's Cranny. When you do you can only buy & sell normally until 10pm, you can sell using the box at any time with it only being 80% of normal selling price. This detail annoys me so much. If the shop hours was going to be a thing, why not have it always be like that? That way it doesn't feel like they are restricting features or selling for less because you are past the time-frame. The box could have been a positive feature by letting you sell past close time, but instead it's just presented in a way that punishes the player.

    The tool system isn't much different. Tools break and there are stronger versions available for the right material, but they never change the act of collecting and can actually be a downgrade if the player isn't careful. This can be seen with the iron axe, which doesn't increase the amount of wood dropped and instead will chop down a tree on the 3rd hit, preventing it from growing again and stopping you from collecting wood. There is no reason to use the iron axe over the stone one, which offers the same amount of drops without destroying the source and still offers a fair amount of hits. If you do want to move a tree, just use shovel + fruit which actually put it into your inventory to move/sell.

    There are other odd details that haven't impacted me much as a solo player being the only one on my switch, but having a single island per console is really not fun since if you want to try local multiplayer you need to place additional tents down on your island to do so. Multiplayer isn't that well explained by the game in general. Overall I do like the game, but the design clashes a lot with the zen game it's trying to be.

    Absolute turd game design. Why does only the first player get the full game experience? I don't mind 1 island per console, every Animal Crossing has done that.

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

Да, там нет возможности создать второй остров на консоли, но мне это и не нужно, я не собираюсь отдавать кому либо свою консоль или с нуля обустраивать второй остров.
    Немного кривой мультиплеер (в плане удобства). В принципе из    Моей первой игрой из серии Animal Crossing была New Leaf, на Nintendo 3DS, до сих пор в неё залипаю.

    Немного кривой мультиплеер (в плане удобства). В принципе из недостатков лично для меня ничего не выявил. Я получил то, что хотел. Не понимаю, почему из за отсутствия возможности создания второго острова полетело столько негативных отзывов. Хотел поставить 9/10, но игра не заслуживает балла 6,2 (на момент написания отзыва), поэтому решил хотя бы своим никому не нужным отзывом как то пошевелить статистику.    … Expand

    Money grubbing one island per switch feature demonstrates that the Nintendo of today is no different than the EAs of the world. Nintendo would rather give themselves the chance to move more Switch units than give their fans a proper game they can enjoy with their families during this time of panic and uncertainty. Do better Nintendo.

    This is a good game but i cant play it because I have to wait for my GF who is casual to unlock things. This game is amazing for anyone who is playing SOLO i repeat playing SOLO. Do not get this if you share a console as only ONE person can play the FULL game. I hope so much that Nintendo retracts this choice as it is not going to convince me to buy another console.

The game is really good but not worth spending 200-300 more dollars just to be able to have 2 people play with FULL ACCESS. Many people already know that the first account on the switch to start the game is the "Resident Representative" of the Island and they are the only person who can advance the story, buildings, and citizens of the town. Any player/account who starts the game of the switch after that first player can only gather resources and upgrade there own house and characters appearance and size and can only get blueprints and items that the FIRST PLAYER has unlocked first. This was super disappointing to find out and I really hope they change this.… Expand

    The best Animal Crossing game to date. It's even more immersive than the previous ones, and the multiplayer is well done. I can't put it down and neither can my friends.

    This game is so calming and fun. People have been tanking the score because you can only have one island but tanking a score because of one little thing is petty. I greatly enjoyed the game and have no trouble sharing, since that's how the game is meant to be played.

    Muy entretenido. Es verdad que tiene carencias, pero no son nada comparado a todo lo positivo. Juego con mi esposa y nos divertimos por horas diariamente, y eso que es iniciando no me imagino en un par de semanas que tengamos todo desbloqueado

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons is definitely the best in the series. It takes everything up a notch. The characters are as lovable as in Population Growing again, and the world is as huge as well. Building the world how you want from New Leaf is completely ramped up, and the world is more full of fish and bugs than ever.

Building the world how you want from New Leaf is completely ramped up, and the world is more full of fish and bugs than ever. Crafting completely changes the game, allowing the player to enjoy the game at night or early morning, even though shops are closed. This is truly a triumphant return for Animal Crossing, and the game will be even better when the dlc arrives. If you enjoyed any Animal Crossing game, you'll love this one, and if you've never given Animal Crossing a shot, now's certainly the time. 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.

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

    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]
