    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.

    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.

    El juego tiene una calidad gráfica y sonora sublime. Las animaciones están pulidas y se nota que Nintendo le quiere ponerle mimo al juego al comprometerse a ir actualizándolo a medida

    El juego tiene una calidad gráfica y sonora sublime. Las animaciones están pulidas y se nota que Nintendo le quiere ponerle mimo al juego al comprometerse a ir actualizándolo a medida que pase el tiempo.

    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.

    Without a doubt, the thousands of customization options in the game allow everyone to have an island to their liking.

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.

    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.

I love the amount of customization avaliable and how you and your friends' islands and residents will always be wholely unique.

    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.

    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've filled the fossils in the museum
    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'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.

    Me and my wife spent ~140h on this game, and we like to share the same island so show/visit each other houses, give items, etc..

    I think this game really lacks coop/multiplayer. So many times I wanted to play with someone and we end up facing each other doing emotes/reactions but chatting on discord/whatsapp.

    Since the game managed to get me hooked for a couple months and made me talk about it with friends and wife, I think it deserves an 8.

I play it every day, and I've grown so attached. I love decorating the island, hanging out with my villagers, and just soaking in the atmosphere. I've played for 250 hours and I'm still not in any way bored with it, and don't see myself stopping any time soon, as I haven't nearly done all there is to do. I haven't gotten a 5 star island and I haven't completed the museum. Routine is cool and all, but every day feels like a new adventure to me, not to mention the upcoming updates, which I'm really excited for. This game is one of the few things where I trust the critic score over the user score. Highly recommended. Expand

    Me encanta , es refrescante y muy tranquilizador.Es un juego relajante y divertido , ademas los vecinos me hace sentir acompañado. Me gustaria que tuviera mejor trato con el multijugador como minijuegos y mas actividades en grupo.

    This is the best one yet in the animal crossing series.
    I Like it so much, I like roleplaying at my island as a country and I'm the president lol
    There is 1 Con tho, this is why I put a 9 instead of 10.

    This game is horrible. I have to force myself to play it to justify the $60 spent. It was a gift and I feel guilty not playing it knowing someone spent their hard earned money on it.

Just imagine if they made it like Minecraft and you were able to build cute things not made of squares, this would be fun. But this game is so boring!!! Expand

    Playing local co-op with my daughter had her screaming with excitement. Sadly the experience is awful and not worth doing. The leader plays while the visitor has to stay close (no split screen) and can't do much beside pick up things while following the leader :(

    Builds on the previous games in new and inventive ways. Multiplayer is still a slog, however I feel that is more indicative of the platform ( Nintendo ) then the game. I love it!

    Es un juego realmente adictivo, y es realmente entretenido buscar a tus vecinos favoritos y diseñar tu isla, pero comprendo las quejas de una isla por sistema y eso me parece una táctica codiciosa por parte de nintendo, pero también hay que tener en cuenta el resto de aspectos del juego antes de criticar

    Stopped playing this game months ago after amassing 100's of hours and just getting bored.
    Decided to start it up again today, to make a new island, to see whats new......couldnt bring myself to have to "delete" my old island.

    Very fun and addictive, also very fun to play with friends and family. The thing that makes the game so great is how you can finally customize and that is great to express yourself in ways you couldn't in other past games, plus the graphics are great.

    This game got my family through the scary, bleak Covid lockdown and wildfires this year, and brought us all closer together. It’s part of our daily routine now, and a little bright spot on even the darkest days.

    I hate to love it.

    The good:
    - the Animal Crossing gameplay loop remains as addictive as ever
    - can now fully customise your island
    - crafting feels like a very natural addition
    - great presentation

    The bad:
    - some major quality of life updates are still needed
    - annoying one island per system rule

    Only allowing one island per console is very frustrating. other than that i would only be nitpicking to find negatives. Very chill and fun game.

    I've specifically made an account on MetaCritic to warn people off from this game.

    There is a feature in the game called "Primary Player." This player is the only one who is able to make progress in the game. There is no way to make another island for other players. There is no way to transfer power outside deleting the island and restarting. If you are buying this for a family,

    If you are buying this for a family, don't.

    Let's talk about dysfunctional relationships. They are often caused by unilateral decisions and lack of communication.

    The decision to have a primary player is a unilateral decision by the developers despite complaints. It leads to unilateral decisions by the primary player placing their wants and needs over the "secondary" players.

    There is no warning for this. There is no documentation of this. The only way you find are are reviews and comments online. In other words, no communication. Not only that, but it creates a communication inequality within the family. The "lead" player makes the decisions. They can listen to other players, but they don't need to. The other players can suggest ideas, but there's no way to delegate or enable other players.

    The game both practices and fosters dysfunctional relationships. Both between designer and player as well as within the family.

    I gave it a zero because my family cannot play the game. I bought it for my family. It is worth zero to me. If they fix it, or you play it solo, I'd probably give it an 8-10 dependent on later content that I was unable to reach due to the Primary Player bug.

    한국에서 가장 큰 흥행을 했고 닌텐도 스위치의 판매량을 대폭 올리는데에 큰 기여를 한 게임이다. 힐링게임으로 많은 여성 게이머들이 선호하였고 대란으로 인해 사고 게임이 자기 취향에 맞지 않아서 파는 사람들도 많았다.

    Not allowing more than one save file per switch? Forcing to time gate you in a paid title? Why can Nintendo be allowed to get away with things like this when Xbox and Playstation would be HATED for doing similar things?

    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]
