Far more than just a farming game, this one-man labor of love is filled with seemingly endless content and heart.

Stardew Valley is without a doubt the best game in the Harvest Moon genre in many years. It has a subtle message about what it means to live a good life and to flourish through a combination of hard work and human connection. The Harvest Moon games all basically boil down to managing a mix of time, tasks, and metrics, and recent entries in the series have relied heavily on exploiting a new gameplay gimmick with each iteration: in one it's crafting structures for the town, in another it's trading with foreign economies. The problem with this approach is that once these gimmicks are exhausted — all the houses built or all the goods traded — the games feel hollow. Stardew Valley succeeds by delivering a robust experience that does not merely rely on watching a meter go up. It has something to say and says it well, while never abandoning the core gameplay that attracted players in the first place.

Ich finde es ist ein sehr ruhiger und entspanndes Spiel ich kann stundenlang in diesem Spiel sein und es wird nicht langweilig ich kann es sehe für etwas gestresste leute empfehlen weil es dafür sorgt das man alles um sich drumherum fergessenkann

Stardew Valley is an absolutely charming little gem about forgetting all your worries and relaxing on a farm.

Though some quirks might unnecessarily keep players at arm’s length, those willing to grapple with the more arcane aspects of Stardew Valley are in for a world of delight.

Despite all odds, it seems Stardew Valley is a different game than the one it mimics. And a pretty fun, different game at that.

One of my favourite and more replayed games of all time - I have so many hours in this game. The gameplay is fun and can get quite challenging if you like min-maxing it. There is a lot of different things you can be spending your time on: farming, decorating, animal rearing, fishing, processing wine/jams, cooking, foraging, chopping trees, mining, slaying monsters, finding artifacts, filling the museum, completing bundles, befriending villagers, completing quests/requests, exploring/unlocking new areas. There are so many interesting villagers to befiend and learn their backstories, with their own little cutscenes for important heart events. You can also choose one to romance, marry, move in together and even choose to have children. There is also a plethora of other interesting cute characters such as the forest bear, Juminos and friendly monsters. There are a lot of areas to explore, with fully designed houses for every character, and different biome regions such as the forests, rivers, mountains, caves and later on the dessert and island. You can better explore this by progressively unlocking shortcuts and faster transport methods such as horseriding, the bus and willy's boat. There are different seasonal events with minigames and rewards to obtains, such as; the nightmarket with its deep sea fishing, the **** fair with its fairground minigames and the halloween'esc event with its spooky maze. Some of these even have different variations as the years progress. The game also keeps getting new updates that add even more content. In addition it has a thriving mod community that adds infinately more content and replayability to the game - **** Valley Expanded and Ridgeside being some of the biggest mods that add lots of new areas and villagers to the world that feel natural additions to the base game. The developer also keeps an eye on the popular quality of life mods that the players like and has added a lot of them to the base game already!

Relaxing and addictive, but lacks structure and long-term challenge for some players(Like myself).
