Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m not sure who was more excited for this release: me or my 9 year old! The gameplay here is pretty straight forward. You’re on an island, and it’s your job to build and populate it how you see fit. The level of detail and the amount of things that you can do is pretty staggering. And it’s all done with a level or adorable that is infectious, which given the times we find ourselves, is a much needed distraction. All of the content is rated E for Everyone, and you won’t find anything offensive or objectionable in the game. The controls are mostly very easy to use and quick to learn, even for kids. The short version is that you combine resource gathering and management, with crafting new items, building homes, and customizing every detail of your community. From building waterfalls, to going fishing, and decorating the interior of your house. There’s a lot of detail in all of these things, and you’re free to create at will. One of our favorite details is the day/night cycle which in sync’d the to Switch’s internal clock. So it’s morning in-game, when it’s morning in your timezone. It’s dark when it’s dark outside for you... you get the idea. It’s just a nice touch in-game. You can also play online with friends, allowing others to enter your town and send them messages in-game. Likewise you can visit a friend’s island remotely, or in-person through local multiplayer. Highly recommended!
