Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an addictive mix of creativity, collectables and customisation in an endless beautiful island escape
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an incredible experience and is, without a doubt, my favorite in the whole series. The formula is familiar for returning fans, yet still manages to feel like an enormous breath of fresh air. It truly is a distinctive, positive, and rewarding simulation that lets you become fully immersed in a fun, colorful, stress-free environment. While it still has its confusing moments, especially for new players, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was definitely worth the seven-year wait and is better than I could have ever hoped for.
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 is everything I hoped it would be, and it's yet another stellar release that showcases a confident Nintendo at its best. It is excellent, and is easily another must-own Switch title - at least, if you can understand and embrace Animal Crossing's uniquely lazy pace.
If there was ever a series that was impossible to describe to someone that had never played it, it's Animal Crossing. Wikipedia describes it as a "social
It's the best Animal Crossing yet, with the best visuals, unparalleled customization, wonderful villagers, and so much content that it isn't even funny. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Nintendo at its best.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is easily the best Animal Crossing game to date. This life simulator is the most immersive, feature-filled, and customizable to date, having exponentially amplified all the charm and addicting qualities of New Leaf. A must have for any fan of the series, or anyone who simply needs a distraction from the current state of the real world.
As someone who has waited so long for the new installment to Animal Crossing, getting to experience Animal Crossing: New Horizons a minute into its release was
Animal Crossing New Horizons is the best game that could have launched during this pandemic being so family friendly and compelling to all ages and personalities. Nintendo have delivered a jam packed adventure that is for the most fanatical player or someone who is new to this colorful series. Where Nintendo still have work to do is in the record keeping and planting side of the game while also letting the player learn more of their experience in the game itself. Without a doubt this is h...
Animal Crossing: New Horizons | Switch 2 Review | Nintendo's cozy game arrives on Switch 2 along with a host of new features.
Its announcement resonated with millions of players like a distant memory resurfacing. Six years after its release, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is receiving its biggest update yet, along with a highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is beautiful and peaceful, offering safe harbour from the stresses of everyday life. There’s so much to do and so much to see, so what’s wrong with making a back seat?
Animal Crossing: New Horizons provides a level of freedom unheard of in most titles, leaving players the opportunity to do whatever they want in any given day, and despite a few bumps they succeed spectacularly in letting you create your own experience.
It’s been a long time between crossings and now one of the most immersive Animal Crossing experiences has been released on the Nintendo Switch and with the
Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives you more creative freedom and more to do on any given day while preserving what makes the series special.
It's an exceptional game, with few faults to speak of, and players who have even the slightest inkling of interest should check it out as soon as possible.
Things may start slow but once Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets going players will find themselves sucked into an idyllic world for potentially years to come, even if it is only for short periods of time each sitting.
Animal Crossing has always been a series where every little thing leads to something productive. Doing nothing and staring off into the sky is relaxing, decorating houses is fun and catching critters feels rewarding. There's never been a real “point” to Animal Crossing but that's what makes it enjoyable, as every person can enjoy and do what they like at their own pace. New Horizons nails this feeling more than ever, with so many options and lots of things to collect and enjoy. While it's easy to play in short bursts, it's often hard to stop playing when ideas keep coming and experimentation is so much fun when there's little to no consequences. New Horizons is by far the best Animal Crossing and anyone looking for a way to relax or get creative should not miss out.
With its numerous quality-of-life improvements and additions, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a big step forward for the series and found its perfect destination on the Switch. Especially given the current circumstances that we’re all facing right now in the world, it may have been unintentional that such a peaceful, idyllic game would arrive in the midst of so much fear, uncertainty, and stress. But thankfully, it’s nice to have a small, peaceful little place to escape to right now, and I can’t wait to keep coming back to it when I need it most.
After seven years of waiting, the newest entry in the series takes natural steps forward in ways I didn’t know were needed and with very few shortcomings. At the time, New Leaf felt like the definitive Animal Crossing experience, yet New Horizons somehow managed to prove that wrong.
Animal Crossing is one of those series that’s hard to describe. I mean, it’s a game that consists of wandering around a small map while collecting fish and bugs to pay off your home loan. Trying to explain why it’s so fun to others can be hard. Animal Crossing is just… a little bit of everything. A bit of exploring, a bit of fishing, a bit of life simulation, and a lot of home design. But all those little bits fit into something beautiful, with ongoing entertainment that lasts months,...
It is 6 AM on a Sunday morning. Despite being in self-isolation as a result of a global pandemic, I am awake. I have no real reason to be, as time now feels like an abstract concept, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons is waiting. I get up, I turn on my Switch, and I go to my island. I fish for an hour. I pick up the weeds. I talk to the overly energetic horse who lives next door to me, who gifts me a park bench. It is exactly what I need.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons lets players take the fun to a deserted island. Collect, craft, set up a home, make friends, and more!
We all need games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and while I don’t think it’s perfect by any means, and some of the new elements this time around come at the expense of what made previous titles so wonderful, the winning charm is still there in full. This will be Nintendo’s biggest game of 2020, and with good reason – everyone who has been looking forward to it will be absolutely delighted by what Nintendo has delivered.
If your Switch has been sitting in the corner collecting dust since the last big Nintendo release, and you want something to sink your teeth into, I highly recommend picking up Animal Crossing: New Horizons and getting lost in the beautiful – if not sometimes menial – work that Tom Nook has waiting for you.
There has never been a better time for a new Animal Crossing game to arrive. It cannot fix what’s going on in the world right now, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives us the joyful, meditative escape that so many of us desperately need right now. Whether you’re young or old, you’ll find something to like. What isn’t to love about customising your dream island and being able to sit on a bench by the beach, listening to the waves, just because you can? Nothing I can think of, that’s for sure.
Animal Crossing finally gets a sequel that moves the franchise forward, in a surprisingly timely release that is perfect for this year in terms of both its gameplay and its philosophy.
There continues to be nothing quite like Animal Crossing, and New Horizons proves that there's life in the old Nook yet.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons will become part of your daily routine. Besides work, school, lunches and meetings with friends, you will catch butterflies and fish every day. And you're gonna enjoy it, because it's one of the best games of the year.
The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Super Mario each found new life on the Nintendo Switch, and following those games in kind is Animal Crossing: New Horizons: An expanded, polished, next-generation reboot of a classic Nintendo game. Perhaps most importantly, like Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is full of surprises. I cannot wait to see what's to come: Seeing cool custom islands from the community, special events, season changes. It took too long to get to the most exciting part of my island renovation (until I cheated), but now that all of New Horizons is spread before me, I have plenty to do, big plans for my island, and so much to look forward to.
A few weeks ago, we took a dive into the first week on our brand new island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While it may have only been the first week, there was a ton to take a look at. That said, a month after release, there has been a ton more to look at. It’s time to take a proper look at Animal Crossing: New Horizons and explore everything the game has to offer at this point.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a whole new approach to the series. While it has created some downsides, I can't understate how great this game has come together. The overall flow has been expanded with Nook Miles goals, DIY projects, and very lively animal friends. What I'm impressed by is how I was never left without something to do, and how I could see the world improve around me. There are a few things that New Horizons could have explained better, but they are also part of the more free flowing future that the franchise wants. Even after all these years, there is a daily routine that I h…
Honestly, 18 days is far too little time to generate a comprehensive assessment of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There is still much I don’t know about this game, including how in-game purchases will ultimately be incorporated. But based on what I have been able to experience, it’s what I’ve wanted Animal Crossing to be for many years. While it fumbles its camping-inspired opening, New Horizons makes a nice recovery with a strong focus on player accomplishment, creating a potent sense of achievement in this idyllic piece of escapism.
Good news! Tom Nook is back again trading seashells and cherries for home upgrades and all manner of funky wearable threads.
“Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the escapism we need right now.”

Animal Crossing is a different kind of game. It isn’t just that the world is generally run by anthropomorphic animals, or the fact that fossils, fruits and fish are big moneymakers in the economy. Nintendo’s vision for the Animal Crossing series has always been an escape to a relaxing life, devoid of any real aggression or ill-defined motivations. Animal Crossing: New Horizons matches that vision to a point, but is this a new horizon worth venturing towards, or are we looking at just anot...
The multiplayer aspect of the game — which allows you to visit your friends’ islands or for them to come to yours — is enjoyable, but I don’t see myself using it more than occasionally. It’s definitely worth seeing your pals’ creations, but it’s not the best way to add to your pool of resources. If you’re looking to stock up on new materials or non-native fruits, you’re better off heading to the airport to explore a randomly generated mystery island instead.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons transports the player to another world, one where the hardships of life seem inconsequential.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch 2 is bent on stranding you once again on an island of your own creation. And while there's a small cost for the upgrade here, you'll get challengea and some satisfying answers to previous pain points.
Of course, it's hard to review a title like this because of how ongoing it feels. It's Animal Crossing, plain and simple, but the best it has ever been. Thankfully, Nintendo plans to extend the game's legs with patched-in holiday events throughout the year -- simultaneously solving the famous "time travel" exploit and adding a bit of detriment to those who choose to use it anyway (seriously, it's awesome Nintendo left it in).
As you arrive on an island inhabited by a trio of Tanooki, you’ll be introduced to Tom Nook, gaming’s most well-known landlord. Tom Nook has plans for this Island, big plans, and you will play a huge roll in making those dreams come true. You’ll build up the land, your home, invite more colorful cha
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a totally immersing, and beautifully timed, island life simulator that places fun and exploration at the forefront of the experience. Expressing your creativity is at the core of every choice, with ample opportunity provided to make this space your own.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch is a relaxing life simulator that builds on past entries in the series with new features like crafting and additional customization options.
