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.

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.

A pleasant game that never quite gelled for me where it matters. While it has elements of cosiness that I was expecting, they are undermined by a few gameplay mechanics which contradicted that feeling for me.

O game em si é muito legal e tem uma forma muito legal de se jogar, mas fica chato muito rápido.

It's an extremely overrated game. It is boring and has a lot of control issues.

Really boooring, not fun at least for me. It has some fun things but after 40 hours it doesn't get better than that. Soundtrack is awful too and sound effects-
