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.

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.

I’ve been watching my brother play Animal Crossing for the last 2 years and it seemed cool. I just bought my own copy and I love it already. The game is very simple to figure out and is good to pass the time.
Best game ever

My 8 year old and I love to play this game together. It is so much fun and relaxing for us both. The music and characters are great. We love the quests and reaching goals. You upgrade your island bit by bit and make it beautiful.

Animal Crossing is the best game, I ended up buying a second copy as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I chose Target because it was cheaper than other sites and arrived in time for his birthday.
Great game for older kids!

This is a great game, but more for older or chill kids. There is a lot of reading, no end point; it’s just a leisurely game where you take your time and build and do little quests. Younger kids who can’t read will probably not enjoy this game, kids who are used to high activity games like Mario etc.. will find this game to be “too slow”. I hate the ratings for this game because adults don’t know what to expect from this, when it’s actually a really fun game.
Fun!

Fun game, not aware if settings can be changed but the only thing I don’t like is children that can not read may have difficulty playing.
SO GOOD!

Game says 1-4 players, but really it's a 1-player game. Other players can't do anything meaningful or interact with the story. Can only have one island saved. This caused tears on Xmas Day. Very misleading.
Fun, interactive game

From customizing your own home to the island and choosing who can come or go it is lots of fun!
Good Game, please read.

This a great game. One thing I will say is that, if you prefer a more action game then this isn’t the game for you. This is a easy relaxing game, with tons to do! Also for the people who says they got this for 8years old, and those kids say it’s boring or whatever. This game isn’t entertaining for kids those ages. This game is more for 10 and up in my opinion because you do have to read to be able to build things and complete things in the game.
great game for elementary age kids

This is definitely for younger kids. I got it for my 8 year old and she said it was really lame so we exchanged it for another game.
Requires a lot of reading - not for kids with learning diffs

NOT FOR DYSLEXIC KIDS. Sure they can practice but the words are hard and it’s a lot. I’m super disappointed I didn’t realize this before we purchased. And really disappointed in Nintendo for not having accessibility options like reading out the text
Love it

This is a very fun game, a lot like virtual reality not a game for younger kids because there is a lot of reading there isn’t a end point to it, you just keep upgrading to the next level a lot more fun for either teenagers are older, but a wonder game

I tend to shop online a lot more than go into a Target and this is honesty the best option. It's fast and tracking services are accurate. I'm so glad to get animal crossing and it came in good condition perfect for all kids on switches and oled.

A lot of reading and wandering around in this game. My child eight years of age was not a fan. Boring and expensive for this type. Not sure what the concept is of this game.
