He always delivers on what the players want, and he is very accessible to talk to. He truly loves his work, and it shows in this beautiful masterpiece of a game. - Devin… Expand

    Pros:
    - Atmosphere is calming and relaxing.
    - Gameplay has a fine line between grind and progress.
    - Friendship system and romance. The residents of Stardew Valley have a lot of personality and have heart events which promotes character development.
    - Variety of things to do, farming, fishing, mining, combat.
    - Multiple options for replayability, new farm layouts, etc.
    - Has multiplayer options and in depth option for it.
    - Soundtrack is lovely and fits for the game.
    - Bundles, which makes you plan ahead and creates self goals.
    - Seasons which spice up things with special holidays and events.
    - The developer has been pushing free updates and is usually available if help is needed.
    - The game is dirt cheap if you compare it to the hours you would put into the game.

    Cons
    - Can be a bit hard to get into the game at first. The game doesn't tell you what to do and you are on your own. You do get some mini quests that push you into the right direction but I've seen people quit before getting into the game. This can be a con or a pro for people.

    Overall, I can't stress enough how much value this game offers. It has so much soul in it and I recommend it for everyone.

    Stardew Valley has been out for some time. And it's jus something that is so remarkably well done that I'm not even sure a simple review would do it justice. It's a typical farm management sim game with added in RPG elements.

It's a typical farm management sim game with added in RPG elements. Usually, when a game likes this crops up, it's called a Harvest Moon clone, since HM was the game franchise that birthed the love of the farmers life games.

    But I rarely actually hear Stardew Valley called a Harvest Moon clone because everything it has, everything it does, it's all HM to the point, but at the same time, it's its own. Eric Barone, the sole guy who made the game from start to finish, made everything from scratch. Art, animations, characters, story, music, scenes. Everything. He was literally a one man team working o what many would consider to be a far too big of a task.

    He took on a challenge, and over several years, birthed what would become the greatest farmers life sim game that likely will ever exist.

    Now, let's talk about that exact game itself.

    What this game is, is pretty much in the most simple of terms a Harvest Moon, Rune Factory or Animal Crossing fans perfect game. It holds a perfect combination of elements from all types of these games rolled into one neat package that presents itself perfectly. (A total of 99%. The 1% difference being the save system.)

    The game is a time cruncher, it will take you some number of hours to even get through into the second year. The mixture of RPG and farm construction is brilliant. The social element of the game is spot on, not too strong but neither too weak. You're not forced to do a single thing. You're only suggested things to do, and once you're through the intro (which you can skip), you're free to do as you please.

    I have played so many hours of this game, which is unsurprising after I waited so long for it to release. In just the first hour alone, I felt the £10.99 I paid for it was more than worth it and more.

    I usually go for more in depth review writing formats, but in this case, everything about Stardew Valley is so simple yet so wonderful, I'll just use an easy to follow part by part description.

    Pros-

    1. Game world is large and open. Certain areas are locked off and require time to pass by or effort to gain access, making it so there's near enough always soemthing undicovered.

    2. Character Customization lets you feel like you've got a rather lovely personal connection to the game and the characters. Be it you want to play as man or woman. Have green hair, green skin or anything that's regular or not so regular.

    3. RPG Elements such as fighting and searching through the mines against a variety of monsters is a brillant addition to a traditonal farm sim type of game. (Definitely has one up on Rune Factory.)

    4. Character Relationships are progressive, take time and are very believable. Such as you won't gain access to someone's private space (I.E, their room) if you're not a good friend of theirs.

    5. Town Feels alive. NPC's will greet one another as they pass by in the town. Something similar past games have always lacked.

    6.Build your own farm. Quite literally you can build it how you like. Place wells for water, plant new trees, grow crops where you please. Don't quite like the placement of a certain construct? Just move it with the option to do so being added in for free in a past patch. It's complete free choice.

    7. Pets. A dog or a cat. Seriously, who doesn't love pets in a game.

    8. Interesting Story with different possible outcomes. There are two in total.

    9. Get yourself a family. Woo one of the local 12 single NPC's. Six guys and six girls. Get married, have kids (maximum of 2) and have a happy farm life. Same sex marriage is also a possibility, which is wonderful inclusion. Any potential marriage partner will be happy to go with either gender of male or female. Some elements are even change to reflect this, such as the character Leah. If you romance her as a male, her ex partner will be an old boyfriend, while if you romance her as a female, her ex will be an old girlfriend.

    10. Brilliant crafting system that unlocks more things to build as your skill grows in various areas. I.E, farming, fishing, etc.

    11. Mini Games can be located in the towns pub, the Stardrop Saloon. These arcade machine works and is impressively well done.

    12. Multiplayer for up to four friends to have fun together.

    13. The whole game is a gentle, easy, relaxing experience that is perfect to play in order to take it easy and chill.

    Cons-

    1. Awkward save system that could of used a little re-thinking, but it still works just fine.

    Overall, Stardew Valley is one of the rare games that deserves the 10/10 score.

    It's by far one of the best farm management RPG games available and should be in anyone's game collection, as there's something for any gamer to love in Stardew Valley.    … Expand

    + Incredibly engaging game;

    + Difficult in the right measure;
    + It has a good economy system;

    + When you get sick of the normal game [it will take a while] you can download mods easily;
    + You own your own story;
    + Addictive soundtrack;

    => Negative points:
    - In the beginning it is very difficult to make progress, which requires patience, but when you start making money things flow faster, but everything has a process;
    - There are absurdly expensive items that do not justify their value.

    => VERDICT:
    The verdict is that this game is a masterpiece in all aspects, and despite having a 2D graphic (beautiful by the way), it captivates you in such a big way that you will become addicted and will develop an emotional connection with him, from satisfaction in the moments of harvest and sale, when you see your effort reflected in your monetary situation, until the tension of dying to some monster inside the mines, and having to pay for health services, in addition to losing important items. Even the joy to be able to watch your farm grow. It pays to invest hours and hours in it, and you will not regret it, much less get tired, because the possibilities are endless.    … Expand

    Stardew Valley is a really good game that is pretty much a time killer. I played this game non-stop for several days all day and never got tired of it. Being able to marry someone and having kids was my goal and was pushing forward to keep playing. Selling the crops that you harvested feels satisfying as hell and probably the best part of the game. Play it now.

The moment you start playing this game, it pulls you in with a promise of a lazy afternoon, with its slow-going gameplay style, and casual elements. The game doesn't rush you forward towards your objective. One can choose to do it later, or never, in fact. The player can set their own pace in terms of exploring the mechanics of basic things such as farming or gaining friendship with villagers. That's what kept me coming back to this title sporadically. A lot of people have already expressed their opinion about basically everything else, so there goes my humble opinion into the pile.… Expand

    Eric did such an outstanding work on the game by himself. Though, not everything is perfect, the worst thing that is in this game - the battling system, it just sucks. The game also has a lot of bugs (visual and even game-breaking), but still, Stardew Valley is my second favourite game.

    The game has so much to offer. There are many things to do in the game such as mining, fishing, farming, growing crops, exploring, designing house, fighting monsters, meeting new people. I have spent more than 100 hours and I had fun most of the time. It was a peaceful experience overall.

    Stardew Valley is a polished, thoughtful experience which everyone can enjoy. No matter how slow or serious you take the game, the easily understandable gameplay never seems dull or repetitive. Stardew Valley is a shining example of the farming game genre which will most likely stand at the top for a long time.

    Stardew Valley é um jogo fofo com uma premissa simples, você está cansado de seu atual trabalho, abre uma carta do seu avô e nela há a escritura da herança onde ele deixou para você uma pacata fazenda.
    A partir dai você começa sua vida no campo retirando os primeiros galhos e pedras e arando seu primeiro metro quadrado de solo até ter uma fazenda autossuficiente no futuro.

    A gameplay do jogo tem um rítmo lento, assim como uma pequena horta em casa requer dedicação, tempo e uma pitada de amor, o jogo possui um sistema de calendário simples de 28 dias (cada dia passa em alguns minutos) em que cada um representa uma estação do ano.
    A cada dia e a cada estação sua fazenda vai evoluindo e seu relacionamento com os integrantes daquele vilarejo vai se intensificando.
    Um jogo muito relaxante, gostoso de se jogar, com historia e personagens cativantes, e uma gameplay de simulador/rpg divertida e gostosa.
    A história apesar de muito simples é fofa e cativante e cada personagem tem seu brilho, trilha sonora e gostosa e a direção de arte é baseada nos jogos antigos.

But of course Pelican Town isn't the only location in Stardew Valley. You can visit another location that I won't spoil. However there is a negative of this game. It's a confusing game, and you will almost definitely need to use the wiki page to know how to do a lot of stuff.

    Overall: 8.6

Stardew Valley es un juego excelente que busca dar una experiencia de calma en la industria. Y es necesario tener juegos como este. En una época que todos los juegos son mundos abiertos masivos    (Reseña sacada de mi cuenta de Steam: APolChrome)

    80 horas (lo que me ha valido para jugar los 3 primeros años de la granja) de Stardew Valley y siento que no he visto ni la mitad del contenido. Stardew Valley es un juego excelente que busca dar una experiencia de calma en la industria. Y es necesario tener juegos como este. En una época que todos los juegos son mundos abiertos masivos con gráficos mejores que la vida real, con un montón de mecánicas, vienen bien juegos así, simples pero que por su premisa sacan prácticamente horas infinitas de entretenimiento. Tengo muchas cosas que decir, así que empezamos.

    Stardew Valley ha establecido unos estándares para un género tan de nicho como el de gestión de granja que casi ningún juego va a poder cumplirlos. Recordemos que está desarrollado por 1 persona y el curro que lleva detrás es una locura. El gameplay es increíble. No quiero centrarme en controles (porque no hace falta), pero si en las actividades y el "loop" de juego. Este juego nos proporciona 5 maneras principales de conseguir dinero: agricultura, ganadería, recolección, minería y pesca. Cada una tiene distintas mecánicas y herramientas, pero da igual cuál hagas. Eso es lo mejor. El juego nunca te obliga a hacer algo. De hecho, por hacer puedes solo recoger los objetos que hay por Pueblo Pelícano y ya. Pero las mecánicas que rodean a las formas son tan buenas, que vas a hacer todas. Voy a explicarlas un poco.

    -Agricultura: azada para arar la tierra y semillas para plantar. cada estación tiene ciertos cultivos que se venden a muy buenos precios y que requieren de ciertos días regándolos (cuanto más tarden, más dinero valen). Con esto, ya tenemos algo para hacer en el comienzo del día.
    -Ganadería: criar animales para conseguir objetos. Aunque suene simple, puedes hacerte amigo de tus animales y pueden enfadarse si no les das comida (no ten dan nada). Cuanta más amistad tengan, mejores productos te darán. Otra cosa para complementar al inicio del día con la agricultura
    -Minería: en mi opinión la mejor. Hay una mina principal (otra está en el desierto de Calico) en la que tienes que ir descendiendo poco a poco, y cada cinco pisos hay ascensor. Es una manera fácil y a la vez arriesgada de conseguir dinero, por los monstruos que hay en la mina. Esta actividad suele ocupar mucho del día.
    -Recolección: recoger cosas del mapa. Ya está
    -Pesca: el mejor sistema de pesca que he visto. No se basa en machacar tu dedo contra un botón, sino que tienes que seguir al pez con una barrita verde mientras sube y baja. También genera bastante, aunque depende mucho de la hora del día y la estación.

    Solo estas 5 mecánicas, hacen que cada día salgas y tengas algo con lo que llenar el día. Ya fuera de esto, la cantidad de cosas por hacer es inmensa. El centro cívico es increíble y aporta al juego una vida útil muy alta, teniendo que jugar todas las estaciones y conocerlas, además de que ayuda a restaurar el pueblo. Esto sumado al museo, que me queda bastante y que se centra en la mina sobre todo, aportando más valor a la minería. La manera de socializar con los vecinos es real. No es como en otros que le regalas cualquier cosa y le gusta. Aquí cada uno tiene sus gustos y te pueden decir a la cara odio tu regalo. Además de que la progresión de todo es muy natural y no se sienten avances ni muy rápidos ni muy lentos. Puedes casarte y formar una familia, ir a un desierto para conseguir más materiales. Los eventos del juego están muy logrados y aunque se repitan en los años, se sienten distintos de cierta manera. La sensación de comunidad es increíble... Me dejo un millón de cosas, pero Stardew Valley tiene un gameplay perfecto.

    Audiovisualmente, está bastante bien, sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta que lo ha hecho una sola persona. Los gráficos son buenos, y el estilo artístico muy bonito (con una paleta de colores claros muy bonita) y la OST está bien, no destaca excesivamente pero es aceptable.

    La narrativa es buena para dar contexto, aunque no tiene mucho peso en el juego. Si que tiene muchas cosas pero no se siente muy completa la narrativa.

    Resumiendo, Stardew Valley es tan bueno que ya no podremos jugar a otro juego de granjas sin pensar en él. Hace todo tan bien, que se hace una calma de jugar. Obra maestra y recomendadísimo (pero juégalo por favor no me dejes aquí con la reseña y tú sin el juego)    … Expand

Se nota que Eric Barone (Creador de Stardew) le dio mucho amor y cariño a este juego y que aunque este desarrollando su nuevo juego "Haunted Chocolatier" que con los avances que nos muestra, se lo ve muy prometedor, no a dejado completamente de lado a Stardew, por el contrario, sigue actualizando y arreglando pequeños detalles del mismo. No voy a contar nada sobre el juego porque es muy gratificante explorarlo por uno mismo y sorprenderse con cada detalle que nos dejo el creador. Simplemente agradecer a Eric Barone por darnos este mimo al alma llamado "Stardew Valley" y a esperar con ansias su nuevo titulo que se lo ve incluso más adictivo que nuestro juego de granja!

    The translation of the text into English:

    I can only define this masterpiece in one simple word: AMAZING. If you're hesitating whether to buy it or not, beyond the fact that the game's price is a steal, especially when it's on sale, I can vouch blindly, with my more than 63 hours spent in this game, that it's worth buying without a doubt. It's incredibly entertaining, with a beautiful aesthetic and a soundtrack that's an absolute gem, very relaxing, but that doesn't mean it won't give you some good battles and challenges.

    You can tell that Eric Barone (Creator of Stardew) poured a lot of love and care into this game, and even though he's working on his new game "Haunted Chocolatier," which looks very promising based on the previews, he hasn't completely abandoned Stardew. On the contrary, he continues to update and fix small details in the game. I won't spoil anything about the game because it's so rewarding to explore it yourself and be amazed by every detail the creator has left for us.

    I just want to express my gratitude to Eric Barone for giving us this soulful delight called "Stardew Valley," and I eagerly await his new title, which seems even more addictive than our beloved farming game!    … Expand

    Stardew Valley is a joy to play. Each in game day takes about 15 minutes to complete and I constantly found myself saying 'just one more day' late into the night. At this point I have had 2 singleplayer playthroughs and played 3 different multiplayer playthroughs.

Each in game day takes about 15 minutes to complete and I constantly found myself saying 'just one more day' late into the night. At this point I have had 2 singleplayer playthroughs and played 3 different multiplayer playthroughs.

    The game is super relaxing, though at the beginning it can feel a bit overwhelming. There is so much to do and not enough energy! Soon enough you'll have cleaned up your farm and get lost fishing an entire day away. You'll soon find yourself planning your next days activity well in advanced. Is it going to rain? How many crops do I want to plant? Man that is going to be a lot of watering if I do that...

    The main downside to Stardew Valley is that you really have to give yourself goals. The game is open ended as far as 'beating' the game. I wouldn't say it's hard to 'beat' the game or anything, which really boils down to can you complete a set of different turn-ins the game sets out for you. It can be a bit of a collectathon in someways, but its definitely not egregious.

    The romance options can seem a bit limiting, but largely this is due to the fact that it took a lot of inspiration from the Harvest Moon series. Of course that really setup the general set of gameplay, but I believe it perfected the art/genre for Harvest Moon style games.

    I feel its worth mentioning that this game was fully developed by one person, which in itself is a marvel. They did all the programing, music creation, art asset design, and story writing. Everything all molded by one person really is inspiring. If I were to temper my review with this fact alone I would have a hard time not giving it a 10, but I feel like that then no other game could really compare to it, so when comparing it as a whole I'd say it's easily an 85-90.    … Expand

    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.

    Don't start this game if you value relationships, your job, your social life, and having free time. Stardew Valley will take all of that away from you, but it's okay because it's a great game.
