The latest Animal Crossing is also the best, full of life, charm, and near-endless ways to make your very own island paradise.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons takes everything good about Animal Crossing and improves it ten-fold.

Hayatımda bu oyun kadar rahatlatıcı bir oyun görmedim. Oynaması çok keyifli bir oyun. Oyunla bir bağ kuruyorsun. Oyunun gerçek zamanlı olması da çok iyi. Nintendo Switch'imde en çok oynadığım oyun oldu.

I absolutely love this game. It’s my favorite out of my 168 Nintendo games it’s endless content. I got it the release month and I’m still improving my island. Overall this game is amazing.

Start from scratch on a deserted island, collect resources to help its growth, form a small community, progress to get an idyllic place we dream of and, when we think that there is nothing else on the horizon, millions of players will share with us their own vision of our own story. A different and deep game, something that is undoubtedly a sensation that lovers of video games should experience.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the premiere of the series on the Nintendo Switch and it makes the player feel right at home, whether newcomers or the more experienced ones. With an array of new elements and mechanics but keeping its formula well anchored in the series' conventions, New Horizons will delight its players thanks to a marvelous game environment and world development, and its hefty rewards, packing enough content to leave everyone growing attached and enveloped by its experience.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the best entry of the series so far, but it is not the ultimate Animal Crossing yet. There are some minor flaws, but nothing really noticeable. Its quality of life details, the daily routine of grabbing some fruit, chatting to your neighbors or looking for surprises, plus the very new mechanics are so delightful that we can only say good things about one of the most rewarding Nintendo experiences yet.

The series has managed to evolve without betraying the spirit of the previous parts: to spend peaceful days and do what we want, without pressure. Possibly, New Horizons is the breath of fresh air we needed.

By consolidating so much power in your hands, the game threatens to upend the Animal Crossing vision of community living.

Villager dialog is super boring, and all the free patches should have been in the game day one.

New Horizons is undoubtedly one of the most important games of all time because of what it was when it came out. In a seemingly indefinite period of stress, paranoia, and social distancing, this game released at the right place to provide hours of comfort to millions upon millions of people, becoming one of the unexpected bestsellers on the Switch (and actually amongst all video games). It is gorgeously presented, full of whimsy, and provided the core experience that Animal Crossing is known for... but it unfortunately doesn't do much to stand out. The game is still good, but especially in comparison to other Animal Crossing games, the content feels very sparse.

Man, I really wanted to like this entry in the Animal Crossing franchise, but it feels like a step back in every way. First off, the villagers. I like to call them "decoration" as these guys feels like blank slates. The crafting feels a little too much as it feels like a step away from Animal Crossing. I'm all for new ideas, but I guess it's just not my thing. There are many positives still. The music once again very good, the amount of inventory space makes it much harder to go back to older entries, and it's very visually beautiful, but too many negatives bring it down for me to not consider a good time.

It's a time sink, but sadly for all the wrong reasons. I have 75 hours so far in the game. But a LOT of it is basically fast clicking to repeat mundane tasks like buying bell vouchers, crafting multiples of the same thing etc. Instead of doing the logical thing and having an option to purchase or craft multiples by a simple box asking how many it's five different clicks per item purchased, several clicks per item crafted etc. How is this in any way acceptable? Luckily I am the only person using my switch. But the limit to one island per console is also a MAJOR point of pure idiocy. And no cloud save means if the console goes so does your island (yes, this has happened to me). It does have some things going for it. The graphics are cute, the social aspect is fine (though I do think **** Valley does it better) but it is hard to respect a game that clearly doesn't respect your time.
