Telegraph writes about ACNH, saying “With a game this broad and lengthy, there’s more to discuss than I could fit in one review, but suffice it to say, this a game that Nintendo have clearly worked incredibly hard to get right. It shines at every moment, from the wind rustling through the trees, to the sunset glinting off the water to the jaunty tunes at the start of the day fading into more relaxing melodies in the evening. Add dozens of much needed quality of life features (hello player customisation, autosave, couch co-op, and eight-player online play) and it all adds up to the perfect DIY recipe for the most chilled out, relaxing, and engaging life simulator ever.”
VG247 also loves it, calling it “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.”
IGN gave it a 9, saying the game is “an expanded, polished, next-generation reboot of a classic Nintendo game that’s full of surprises.”
You’ll definitely want to find ways to make Animal Crossing a day one purchase for your Switch when it releases on March 20. If you want the perfect pair to your game, why not get the themed Switch unit as well!
