    Don't Buy This!

    Warning: This game is the worst Animal Crossing game of all time! Joy-Con Drift can ruin playing the game and the villagers repeat dialogue. Also, only one island per console. No proper back-up without contacting Nintend... Read Full Review

    The most important game of my childhood ever, was Animal Crossing New Leaf.The core gameplay, for me at least, or just trying your best to make the most out of living in a small town that you yourself rule over was somet... Read Full Review

    Build Your Own Island to Your Heart's Desire (Almost) in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

    I only played one other Animal Crossing game and that was back on the Nintendo Gamecube. I was young and at the time was most interested in RPGs and first person shooters. Fast forward to current day 2022, I am still ver... Read Full Review

    One year later, is it really the same?

    It's not as jampacked as say New Leaf or the OG one. Animal Crossing, as a series, (Not New Horizons) is a fun way to get out of the world that puts you as a resident in a town, but this is just a boring deserted island... Read Full Review

    Do not play! Too modernized!

    I played Animal Crossing: New Leaf before. It was great. I thought this one would be fine to play. It sucked. I asked for a refund on the third day and returned the game. New Horizons is a waste of time. Also, it's moder... Read Full Review

    It's weak... like my internet...

    I never played an Animal Crossing game before, but this game is weak. I have weak internet, so it takes 20-30 minutes to get a single update from this game. But they are just bug fixes and sometimes an extra feature. Th... Read Full Review

    Don't bother playing this game, play the older ones instead.

    Look, this game is not even close to good. It's terrible, bad, abysmal... whatever you want to call it. Animal Crossing involves a player moving in with other villagers. However, the only villagers you do move in are two... Read Full Review

    The Right Game For The Right Time On The Nintendo Switch!

    Maybe it's the isolation talking, but I don't think that there is a single video game out there, that could have managed to come out at PRECISELY the right time, PRECISELY when it was needed! The year of 2020, has seen M... Read Full Review

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons have something for everyone both new comers and fans alike

    I couldn't even tell you how many hours I poured into Animal Crossing: New Leaf back in 2013 trying to make the perfect town and home on my 3DS. It still holds up for a 3DS game alone and also the series as well is one o... Read Full Review
