Product Description

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. Even without hopping on a flight, you’ll meet a cast of charming animal residents bursting with personality. 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.

Reviewed in Brazil on August 10, 2023
o jogo chegou bem adiantado e em perfeitas condições, o jogo é divertido e relaxante além de ter vários propósitos que tanto o jogo te dá como também a sua própria imaginação, além de todas as interações com os animais da sua ilhia. Um dos poréns é o fato do jogo não vir em português e sim só em inglês, mas se vc não sabe falar inglês é só mudar o idioma do console pra espanhol que já fica perfeito de entender, recomendo a compra.
