Description

Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round.

Show off your island utopia to family and friends—or pack your bags and visit theirs. Whether playing online* or with others beside you**, island living is even better when you can share it. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. Friendly faces like Tom Nook and Isabelle will lend their services and happily help you grow your budding community. Escape to your island getaway—however, whenever, and wherever you want.

Polygon - "...crafting systems in this game are lovely."
The Verge - "the video game equivalent of a relaxing getaway…"
IGN - "... full of surprises."
GameSpot - "the ability to alter your island to fit your grand plans is exciting. "

Great game for kids and family. This is the GTAV for family especially kids. In GTAV you play people committing crime and living their life at large. In Animal Crossing you live your life on an island however you wish once you earn your way around acquiring things. The big plus this time is you can build you own island the way you like then invite your real friends who play this game into your island so you can virtually hangout with others without going out. Great fun while we all stay indoors during this pandemic.

For those complaints about one island, if you like to share the game with multiple people. You have to decide who is going to be the leader of the island, that person get to create the island and open up shop or make design decisions. Other players only get to play on the same island as contributors. You can still live the way you like but you have to share the space. If you don't like this at all, the only way is to purchase separate Switch and game altogether. That's the limitation imposed by Nintendo to sell more game consoles.

Also remember that the game saves cannot be transferred to another switch. You have to start over again if you lose or damage your Switch.

My daughter likes it
Animal Crossing New Horizons for Nintendo Switch was not my daughter's favorite game at first. She struggled a bit with what to do in the game. Now that she's played it more, she does like it. She enjoys the fact that you get to customize your own world.

I love the game even if there’s only one island per switch it’s a great game. I’ve had this game since April and have been playing non stop. And it came out at such a good time. Great quality!
