The perfect game release for when your school closes down.

"game too slow" now i've never played AC before... but isn't that kinda the point? its a game meant to let you stop and smell the roses and just lackadaisically walk around for kicks.

[adriancastelan]

I like how he says it’s boring, slow, and not fun and then he’s like “9 out of 10 amazing perfect”

[sheffieldbs]

Short summary from the Reviewer: "The game is total trash, its boring, there is nothing to do, the crafting system is just tedious and terrible, i hated every moment of this game, overall fantastic game and such a joy to play 9/10"

[kenz]

“I don’t like this feature, I don’t like this, I don’t like that, this is cumbersome, this is slow...” “9 stars”

[iMax_Experience]

This was the most bland and confusing review I have ever watched. I was not prepared for him to give it a 9 when it felt like he was just shooting out bullet points he wrote about what he didn’t like and spending 30 seconds on each part of his review.

Nonetheless, I’m still quite excited. But I don’t think this review was really helpful at all. It seemed very cynical and forced.

[sandgaming]

Dunkey was right. The language doesn’t align with the verdict. This game looks phenomenal, I’m not denying that. However, this guy seemed to have more negative things to say about the game rather than positive. Nevertheless, I will be playing this and probably enjoying it.

[tbelgas]

Not gonna lie, I thought this game was about running over animals

[SivartAuhsoj]

"Starts too slow unless you cheat" "Grindy" "Has to be like Minecraft" "Chaotic multiplayer" "Can't visit strangers' islands"

9/10 AMAZING

[danbarbour]

Complains about everything; still gives it a 9/10.

- Nintendo logic at IGN

[nerdbit]

Was hoping to hear some remarks on the sound of the game and music

[KanalDerGutenSache]

When 50% of the review sounds negative and you end up giving a 9/10.

[lewistonlewis]

This is my first AC experience. And I gotta say, my first day was awesome. I like the slower pace and how they make you wait for things. Really makes you look forward to the next day!! A feeing so rare in games these days. Not everything has to be a speed run.

[NastyCrimeBoy]

Christ, even animal crossing is too hard for IGN.

[RaleighStoughton]

"The islands you visit are bland and boring, the beginning of the game is boring, the crafting system which will be a large portion of the game is grindy and boring, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons makes you *feel* like a bored out of their mind castaway on a deserted island, 9"

[zweihandre]

Bro this reviewer just seems to be annoyed with the game

[mbarrington]

Nintendo doing their part for the pandemic by making everyone quarantine themselves to play New Horizons :)

[undisclosedsteve]

"This game is a slow starter, only a couple people on the island at the beginning, "

Deserted. Island.

[ReddestJade]

Everyone: Building entire cities on their island
Me: Struggling to place the cot down the way I want it in my tent

[chrisdafa]

I think going into this game and trying to speed through it is the wrong mentality, I get he needed to review it, but for the normal player, you take each game day as it goes, it’s a relaxing experience and eventually it pays off when you finally progress
