Pocket-lint
Most in-depth Animal Crossing yet
Greatly expanded crafting system
Cute and adorable characters as always
Brilliant excuse to while away hours/days/weeks/years
Only one island per Switch so you have to share
No cloud saves so you cannot continue progress on another Switch
Could end up taking over your real life as it's so addictive

Beautiful, adorable and a joy to look at
All of its systems are wonderfully deep and rewarding
So many exciting events and content are on the horizon
Builds upon and improves on everything that came before it
Ferociously addictive and remarkably paced
There?s only a certain amount of things to do per day
Deeper relationships with islanders would be great

Just Push Start
Remains as charming as ever
Visuals are cute and make the most of the setting and Switch
Relaxing to play and unwind
Free to largely do what you want
Character creator isn't the most expansive but it is a step forward
Too many tutorials
Sharing an island could be handled better

The classic Animal Crossing gameplay loop is as charming and addictive as ever
Relaxed progression that lets you take things at whatever pace you want
Nook Miles lend a welcome level of structure to the experience
Crafting is a major new mechanic that adds to the game immensely
A bevy of customization and personalization options
Turning your deserted island into a beautiful paradise is incredibly satisfying
Looks great.
A bit of an over-reliance on Nook Miles
Durability is an actively annoying mechanic
Quality of life issues.

GameSpot
Resource-gathering for crafting is a natural extension of Animal Crossing's existing daily tasks loop
Nook Miles system adds a layer of reward just for playing the way you want while providing some structure if you're lost
Customizing your character, your outfit, and your decor is easy and encourages creativity and self-expression
Villagers are expressive even in their idle moments, which makes them all the more endearing

Best game that could have released during a pandemic
Nostalgic and family orientated
Fun events and lots of them
Hours of content to learn and discover
Cute overload
Easy to become addicted
Cannot learn everything about the game in the game
How to replace villagers on your island can feel cruel
Planting needs to be as intuitive as building
Collecting items in game needs to be easier to track
Easy to become addicted

The charadesign is successful.
Crafting and the mind-boggling number of items that can be built.
Taking care of a farm is much more demanding than one might think!
A titanic lifespan!
The fights, too easy and uninteresting.
We find it difficult to connect with the other residents of the city.
