Animal Crossing: New Horizons

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.

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.

A really lovely, peaceful, beautiful, interactive game that I would recommend to anyone who has, or is planning to have a Nintendo switch or Nintendo switch 2.

the vibes of this game are unmatched and the villagers, fishing and collecting bugs for your museum are the best thing ever and gave me hours of enjoyment over the years but tbh decorating your island and house is tedious as hell and very clunky and i almost never bothered to do so

this game was never finished, it has less features than any previously existing version of the game and absolutely nothing to do besides collect or decorate with cosmetics. every previous edition of the game had drastically more activities, this one just feels like a toy set rather than an interactive experience. there are also massive QOL issues that were better handled in previous entries. in general, i'd suggest that you try playing ACNL on the 3ds if you can access it, since it is a drastically better experience in every aspect besides the resolution, which can easily be upscaled if you play via an emulator.

It has a good overall presentation and gameplay, but the depth and detail of the content are terrible.

I’m so sorry to all the animal crossing fans out there but this game was not for me. Even tho it looks nice and cozy the gameplay loop is sooo tedious and the gameplay is very clunky for my taste. I honestly didn’t understand the game and it just felt like I was wasting my hours instead of enjoying them so I gave it to a friend who apparently loves it
