Stardew Valley is an amusing farming simulator, where farming is not the only thing you'll have to do.

Features & aspects:

  • A good chance you'll enjoy playing it, even if you've never played similar games.
  • It fits for any ages.
  • Perfect for relaxing.
  • Good price.
  • Option to play alone or with friends.
  • Controls and interface easy to deal with.
  • A game easy to play overall, except when you want to catch certain kinds of fish, you'll know what I'm talking about if you ever play the game :) .
  • Old school RPG graphics and textures nicely done.
  • Very nice and fitting music.
  • It allows mods (external mods, mainly from Nexus Mods site).
  • Good storyline. Speaking with the locals is a must, if you want to go further with the game story. You'll find yourself in a few funny situations sometimes.
  • Create relationships with the locals and gift them ocasionally. Choose having best friends or even marry someone! Try not to piss them off ;P!
  • There's always something to do in it, no matter how much you have progressed in the game.
  • Quests. You'll get mostly from NPCs. There are different quests for you, though some can be a little repetitive.
  • Assist to events in the town or in the surrounding areas in specific times of the year.
  • Fight with enemies through the mines, you won't only be rewarded at a point, but it will make your life easier for you to mine ores in peace.
  • The available mines in the game include several levels, some with more or less precious stones.
  • A large variety of items of several kinds, including many types of vegetables and fruits.
  • Item-crafting feature.
  • You can buy things from the NPC shops and markets.
  • Build and decorate your farm and house as you wish.
  • The farming feature was well-thought. Pay attention to details, to prevent crows from stealing your seeds or even your crops from dying.
  • The different seasons of the year will have influence in your crops. And it's amazing to see how the trees and grass everywhere will change, once the seasons change!
  • The map could be bigger, but it has enough to keep you busy for several hours.
  • A lot of secret things to find out through your gameplay.
  • Character creation feature, with a good amount of choices in clothing, accessories and hairstyles.
  • Ability of increasing the character's skills.
  • In-game and Steam achievements.
  • Props go to the only one developer creating this game for about 4 years or so. The hard work really made the crops growing healthy and successfully!
  • The only paid content after purchasing this game, is the soundtrack DLC, nothing else.

    Overall Rating: 9.2/10

    I find this game adorable in a way and quite addicting. It makes me smile.
