Apr 28, 2020Love 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.

Apr 28, 2020So 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.

Apr 28, 2020Great game. The review bombing is not a fair assessment of the quality of this game

Apr 28, 2020I liked this game until I realized no one else in my household can create their own island... It's ruined the game.
-
Apr 28, 2020The 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.
-
Apr 28, 2020Man.......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.
-
Apr 28, 2020I love this game. You can spend hours doing relaxing things, decorating your house and island. It’s about all I play anymore lol

Apr 28, 2020Awesome and beautiful game. Some of the dialog can take a bit to get through, but that's nothing new from the game series. I think with a couple easy quality of life fixes, this game could be perfect.

Apr 29, 2020Bought this game with my wife. Only found out the island is shared between the switch after payment. This essentially kills both of our ability to play the game. This is a just a blatant money grab by Nintendo. Dont buy it.
-
Apr 29, 2020Super annoyed and kinda angry! Just purchased this game for $80 and found out multiple people cannot have their own island! Only 1 island per switch not user! Massive downfall of the game THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!

Apr 29, 2020One island per switch. Something else could've been done better. They want you to buy another console to play local multiplayer. Please nintendo. Do something about it!

Apr 29, 2020One island per console for a whole family. This is a big shame for Nintendo.
-
Apr 29, 2020The game is fun and i have enjoyed my time playing the game so far. However, not being able to transfer my island to a new switch is ludicrous. Hacking will always be an issue and there is no need need to punish the fans for it. I can live with the cash grab of one island per switch but locking my island to one switch only is ridiculous.

Apr 29, 2020It’s an adorable experience that constantly surprises, euphoric in the satisfaction it provides with each mechanic, no matter how big or small.

Apr 30, 2020Pretty good game with some limitations in single islands and locked out of progress multiple users which is a downer. And no cloud saves yet. Great game otherwise.
-
Apr 30, 2020Great game for people who want a calm game to relax to. I love this game it’s great online play works well. It may not be for everyone only people who like slower pace games mostly because this game has full 24h days so you can’t sleep till the next day.
-
May 1, 2020Never log out this game since the day I get the copy of catridge. It’s been one month continuously. Great game!

May 2, 2020One of the best experiences i had on the switch
It is calm and relaxing but is also very interesting, there is a lot to do in this game.
The graphics are amazing and playing this game is just a wonderful experience. People are giving this game a 1 just because you can only have one island per console, yeah it is annoying but is nothing compared to the greatness of this game. -
May 2, 2020A fantastic game to play during quarantine. Don't listen to the neck beard simp virgins review bombing this game
-
May 3, 2020This game could have been a contender for game of the year 2020 if it didn’t shoot itself in the foot by limiting itself by 1 island per console. If you are alone this is a must buy, but if you share a console with anyone skip this game.

May 6, 2020One island per console is a shame! Multiples profiles is a very basic "feature" that's not work in this game...
-
May 6, 2020
-
May 6, 2020One 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.
-
May 10, 2020A 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. -

May 17, 2020The Switch was largely marketed as a family console, but only one person in the household can have fun playing Animal Crossing because of the ridiculous 1 island per Switch restriction. Returned the game and the Switch. Screw Nintendo.

May 22, 2020Plenty of improvements, fun overall. The one island per console limitation is ridiculous. This is a family game. 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. I can't possibly recommend this game until this issue is addressed.

May 26, 2020I can't recommand the game right now at it's State... This game Will bring disapointment in your family as the second players feel like a **** on the Island... Metacritic should really be lower then this too just for that reason...
Any can't even get a refund... F*$# Y&@ NINTENDO!

Jun 3, 2020LIMITED, IS GOOD BUT I CAN'T CREATE A 2ND ISLAND AND IF YOU COMPARE TO STARDEW VALLEY OR MINECRAFT IT FALLS SHORT.
PD- I HATE MARSHAL AND RAYMOND -
Jun 21, 2020i try to play this game, but i really don't like it. It's really boring e i really sad about that
-
Jun 17, 2020One island per console is a good thing which is made to bring sense of community. If it bothers you it means you have to see a therapist with your family or a spouse.

Jul 5, 2020Посредственная ферма от Нинтендо по фулпрайсу равному Cyberpunk 2077 или The Last of Us Part II. Что она принесла миру кроме мемов? Абсолютно ничего. Пустышка, как и почти все, что производит эта компания.
-
Jul 18, 2020Animal crossing New Horizons is the most complete game I have played in years, the amount of content it contains continues to impress me and after having played it for more than 200 hours I can say that it is one of the best Nintendo switch games.

Jun 26, 2020Primero que nada si tengo el juego y lo juego casi todos los días no como los que lo califican sin tenerlo o solo con ver gameplay ...Padrísimo yo nunca había jugado un animal crossin en la.3ds y me parece muy adictivo es un juego relajante y muy divertido jugarlo entre amigos y en esta cuarentena me ha salvado.

Jul 2, 2020Bought the game of the eShop and it doesn’t work. Can’t donate item or really much of anything.

Jul 7, 2020妈呀动森竟然用户评分这么低,用户评分太任性了!明明很任天堂很动森,而且这游戏是持续更新的。可惜网络联机太容易掉档,存档问题只要硬件出问题就不保。在建设岛屿这方面我已经头大了,越自由越需要心态慢一点。另外必须骂一下煞笔中国有关部门,这都能禁,艹。

Dec 8, 2020there's not that much enjoyable things. even less than previous game. local playing in this game is really awful. story & construction only belong to one person who first started this game that makes bad experience from family game. also local multi-playing mode is just a trash.

Jul 21, 2020Господи у это не игра, а позор игр лучше купить ps4 чем свич или xbox, так что моя оценка всем играм xbox и свич будет 0

Jul 26, 2020Can’t stop playing this! Everything looks so cute! Only complaint is i want more islands, but overall, I’m still addicted to it and it’s really fun to play with my nieces and nephews!
-
Nov 7, 2020"The limitation of one island per Switch (not per cartridge, per Switch) is nonsensical. It‘s obvious Nintendo is just trying to sell more Switch consoles... Sorry but this is an instant 0/10"
-
Nov 16, 2020It's a very fun game at first. However, it is a game that gets boring as you go after. I bought this game with a big heart, but it's a game I don't even play anymore.
-
Nov 16, 2020"Animal Crossing" fans should never buy it. Everything is deteriorating. What has the development team been doing for 7 years? Please return "Animal Crossing" that everyone loved !!!
-
Nov 22, 2020Multiplayer is a rubbish joke. Great let down for my kid who though we could play together. Absolutely not worth it for this.

Jan 4, 2021Only the first resident on an island can progress un the history.
UNENJOYABLE FOR MULTIPLE PLAYERS IN ONE CONSOLE -
Mar 4, 2021It's an amazing game - such a shame that people who enjoy the game give it bad reviews for lacking a feature they'd want in.
Don't be fooled by the mixed user reviews - it's an amazing game that made my Quarantine and Corona times enjoyable - time was basically melting away - even though I'm more of a pro gamer... and yet I enjoy the heck out of this casual game -
Apr 30, 2021Typical Animal Crossing. Fun, cute, and enjoyable. Switch visuals for it are top tier and it'll last for years. Could use some improvements but overall a great experience.
-
May 22, 2021Boring game no core no point on advance is the same all time no progression lazy and greedy nintnd

Mar 22, 2020While the first player in the house will have a great time on this, all subsequent players will have a muted, limited experience.
I wasn't aware of the one island per console feature and this really does ruin the game for everyone else. I would not have bought this had I know, hopefully Nintendo will do the right thing and patch this out. -
Mar 20, 2020An amazing game, that will make you forget there is something like a real world out there. Excelled in the good things New Leaf got right, and made an even better transition from handheld to console. 10/10
-
Mar 20, 2020The looks, the feel, and the improvements from the other games are amazing.
-
Mar 23, 2020Very disappointed you have to share one island with multiple people. There was no excuse for this to be the case in this day and age and as such I'm forced to give a score of 0, as this greatly impacts the gameplay. Hopefully they come to their senses and fix this issue
-
Mar 25, 2020I bought this game for my daughter, then had to buy a second copy and also a second console for my wife. Pure cash grab. 100% greed. Oh, and by the way Nintendo, congrats, it worked.

Mar 24, 2020Only one Island per console is a huge drawback for me. I expected more freedom from the series' debut on the Switch. I hope Nintendo solves this problem with a patch in the near future.

Dec 19, 2020Animal 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.
-
Jun 22, 2020Animal 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.
-
CD-ActionMay 12, 2020It’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]
