    Love this game, very smooth a lot of fun stuff to do and all round a great game. The cloud save issue is enough to not make it a 10/10 but it hardly effects my opinion. If you like chill gaming then definitely get this game.

    Bad controls, excessive dialogue, and encourages cheating! Not a good example for kids.

    This game is not family friendly. No one has their own game and they all get angry at any little thing others do. I’ve had to remove the game for both our systems. That’s what $800 for two games and systems for four kids! They aren’t allowed to use them handheld or the systems would be broken by now.    Bad controls, excessive dialogue, and encourages cheating!

    So much fun! I have played most of the animal crossing games and enjoyed them all, but this feels like the pinnacle of the series. So much to do, so many options, and the ability to play however you want! A very cute game that brings all the joy of what we expect from Animal Crossing plus a whole lot more.

    The game looks amazing and relaxing. You can do many creative things with it, I really enjoyed the game. But the one Island per switch and no backup data sucks. Initially, I thought to rate it 8 or 9 but these things can be easily fixed with an update. Other than that it is an awesome game.

    Man.......what is there not to like about this game? I literally can’t put the thing down. I would give it a 10 if it weren’t for the limitations on the switch when it comes to save file transferring and one island per console. But as far as the game itself.......Nintendo struck a home run.

    Nintendo needs to learn that they should allow their players the play the way you want (you know like the switches slogan) to play their games.

You lose so much of the experience is the second player and are restricted in terms of progress if the first player doesn't play the game. I was actually sorry for my sister when I found out she couldn't do so much of what made the game fun. Also, the game got a patch to reduce the interest rate and reduce the spawn rate of rare bugs. They are patching the game to make you play the way THEY want you to play. But, in turn, the game is less fun in my opinion. There should be more quality of life updates rather than them taking away stuff like this because it's so fun to just do what you want and the mundane task of cutting wood is only made worse than the slow crafting system and many inconveniences in the game.… Expand

    Game play is what you'd expect of an Animal Crossing game. Terraforming and crafting are intense. The control given to you literally makes you a god among animals.

    It is a little concerning that there are a lot less features than what we had in base game New Leaf, but the updates will happen and give us a lot more content. If you play this game the way it's intended to be played, it won't slow down. However, since we're all in corona time and going crazy, you might get tired.

    Nintendo has made some baffling choices that they're failing to fix that understandably can break this game for many. One island per console that is basically permanently tied to the console is a huge step back.

    Additionally, minor quality of life changes can also help tremendously, like bulk crafting, dropping multiple items at once, giving more pattern spaces, and cutting extra dialogue we've seen a hundred times (you have to press A on CJ like 40 times each run in the fishing tourney)    … Expand

    I'm going to start this review by saying Animal Crossing New Horizons is the best entry in the series. There is no doubt in my mind.

There is no doubt in my mind. The creativity and attention to detail that was put in by the developers is nothing short than inspiring. There is a part of me that is genuinely concerned for the future of the series, not for anything bad for the game, but for how much it has to offer. Where else can they go? The next installment is going to be something I'm afraid of. They might not even come out with one and just update this gem of creativity. I'm afraid I'm not explaining enough, but what I mean is that from each iteration we gain a new customizable feature. From being from a standard town, then to a bigger place with friends being able to visit, then to an even bigger place that has a city element, to being a mayor able to change layouts and buildings and now to a "god" as the community jokes about being able to shift the land itself. Hopefully, that explains my concern about the future of this game, where next? This definitely is, in my eyes, the ultimate animal crossing game and has provided millions of people including myself, hours upon hours of relaxing release. As I cross the 350-hour mark, I think its time for me to explain how I felt about the game. As the beginning is slow and may take a lot of time to start feeling like the traditional animal crossing everyone knows, you start understanding how the game is trying to teach you the fundamentals of the new mechanics introduced. It can be frustrating at first if you're the impatient type, but it is well understood the more you play. That's what makes all these negative comments so surprising to read for me. I never have written a review to anything other than amazon products and maybe a youtube comment if you consider that a review of some sorts. I even made an account to just write about this topic. Yes, the game is limited to one island per person. Do not go into this game expecting to have the experience of a maximum of 8 islands on your system. This is apparently is a reason for people to be giving the game a 0 on this site and others as well. Not about the gameplay, or what a good/bad game it is, or even how slow it takes to start as I thought the negative reviews would be about. No, it's about how f you have more than one account on your switch, the others won't be allowed to terraform the island. I cannot think of anyone who would od this other than children or people who are playing Animal crossing for the first time. I don't mean any of those remarks as insults, and I will explain. New leaf, the last game in the series before New Horizons. One player was the mayor, and that's it. Anyone else playing on your 3DS won't have access to those features. If the reasons for that aren't apparent to you, then you don't understand how basic computing and video games work and that's okay. It's okay to not understand something, that's why you should seek the information that you don't understand. Just think about how much memory it would take for the switch to have a maximum of 8 islands with all unique layouts, villagers, and all the other features that make this game the masterpiece that it is. That's not possible to fit on the system itself, therefore it's not a reality. It wasn't for the 3DS, so why is it a problem all a sudden? That's when kids come into the picture. Parents will usually buy one system for the house and each kid wants to have their own island which I completely understand as I would as well as a child. However, does that inherently make it a bad game? Of course not. I have another family member on my island who doesn't have terraforming access as they are the second player to move in. When they want to change something about the island they do one of the possible two things. They either ask me to change it for them, or they log in as me and do it themselves. Oh yeah, did I mention the ability to switch accounts on the switch is Minimalistically seamless? It takes less than 5 seconds to change profiles and start a game. It's fine to criticize a game, but it's downright insane to mass bad review a game for system limitations when the problem has nothing to do with the gameplay its self. If I'm the wrong one for feeling this way then so be it, I'll stand alone. Is Nintendo just doing this to sell more consoles? Most definitely not, however, I don't think they are complaining that this is an "issue". Then that gets into the problem of how the bad reviews may affect Nintendo, but it hurts the animal crossing franchise more. People will see the negative source for consumers and assume it's just another game that critics love and the public didn't, further greatening the divide between creators and fans. I really don't know what to say at this point other than how disappointing it is to see the gaming culture turn into this immaturity and not appreciate the art that countless artists spent years creating.… Expand

    One island limit means you get a watered-down game with no substance if you're not the first player. I really hope they change this so I can actually enjoy the game to its full potential.

    A good game, but a terrible Animal Crossing.
    A delayed game in the makings for a decade left unfinished and soulless in comparison to other games in the series. Newcomers don't know how much was left out. I don't want content to be slowly released to the public. I want to buy the finished game I've waited for years.

The villagers, who all have a unique look and vibe to them, the clothing is amazing, with hundreds of clothing items to buy, you'll have a hard time finding just one perfect outfit, the island terraforming is a breath of fresh air to the series and is done in a simple and non complicated way. Nothing in this game feels off or out of theme. The difficulty curve is small, but part of the fun is learning along the way. The online play is really good, there are some things to fix, but for what it is, I think it's really nice. There is much more to say about the game, but overall it is fun and unexpectedly addictive, while being cute and simple at heart!… Expand

Why would there be one person who can progress and the rest of the family can run errands? People are missing out on the fun for no reason.

It is quite complete, from my opinion, and though it is not a revolutionary game for the saga, it evolves every game mechanic and adds a lot of new features. The personalisation introduced in New Leaf goes into a new level, with the option of building your island from scratch, placing furniture outside the house, the paths... For the fans, all of these are great news. The Nook Miles system, although I do not personally see it as "bad", I found it a bit tedious (from a very personal point of view), but it helps to try to have like a daily routine in our island. You can spend hours and hours without notice, and that is a very positive thing to say.

    About negative points, I must say I have little complains about this game. Maybe there are too few shops (compared to New Leaf) and the fact that we can only play the events (Easter, Nature Day...) during the real days (and after the final day, if time travel back, they are not activated again) are my main complains. And about the great amount of zeros due to 1 island per console, although is a thing that can prevent someone from not giving this game a 10 (I include myself in this group), I think it is too exaggerated to rate it a zero. And with the fact that most of the users rating this game a zero are users which only rate has been this game, I think Metacritic should act and help to give this game a rate which really deserves (nor a 5.2, either a 10, possibly a 8.5-9).

    Game is awesome, but Nintendo thinks it can convince households to each buy their own switch by hampering local play. Super annoying.

    Animal Crossing New Horizons is basically perfect.

    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]
