    Grabbed it on release and never regretted it. I have probably bought 6 or 7 copies by now (most of them as gifts for close ones). It's probably one of the most relaxing games I've ever played. It's been 5 years and the game still receives massive FREE updates. The dev is also a cool and likable guy who frequently helps people if they encounter some issues.

    I didn't really like games like these. I would call them repetitive and boring. And at the first time i played it, i was right! After that, seeing the game grow my friend suggested it to me again. Then i played it again, and oh boy it really made me change my mind. It's just perfection.

    I don't know about the "message" or anything, but the gameplay loop is brilliant. So precise. You keep saying "just one more day", and then realize you've been playing for five hours and you have to pee. A definite candidate for top ten pc games ever.

Lo primero es que cualquier dispositivo lo puede correr ya que no necesita mucho RAM, además de eso los gráficos son preciosos y la música simple pero al mismo tiempo especial habiendo momentos en lo que te toca la patata. La historia es muy buena, se preocupa por la historia personal de cada uno de los personajes, cinemáticas especiales con cada uno y más cosas que hacen que descubramos como son los personajes en realidad, además de la posibilidad de poder casarte con un hombre o una mujer sin asumir tu sexualidad, poder tener o adoptar hijos y lo mejor de todo en mi opinión que crecen, no son una cosa para entretenerte o para completar el juego al completo, si no que es otra parte totalmente distinta, de pasar de cuidar animales y una granja, ahora a hijos, un desafío que no es difícil pero aún así engancha y hace que pillemos cariño. El juego se centra en la granja y el cultivar para ganar dinero, pero eso no es todo, puedes cultivar, puede tener animales, puedes dedicarte a ayudar a la gente, a caerles mejor en a la gente, en las minas, en recolectar, en saber la historia de todos, eso es uno de los puntos más fuertes de stardew valley, que siempre vas a tener un objetivo que hacer y todos los días van a ser distintos, pudiendo tener una granja de 5 años y seguir sin completar el juego, pero estando avanzado. Un resumen rápido de este juego es que es una obra maestra que se preocupa por todos los detalles y lo que quiere es que tengas una experiencia increíble, además de poder jugar con amigos y divertirte con ellos jugándolo. Por el juegazo que es y los buenos recuerdos que me trae le daría un 11/10… Expand

    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. 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

There are catchy, memorable tunes for every season and festival, you get special interactions with basically every villager as your relationships develop, and there's a wild variety of customization options for your farm. You can make a fortune as a cattle ranch, convert your entire property into a bee sanctuary or have large crop rotations managed with automated sprinklers and magical sprites.

    You're free to take this as a game to relax, enjoying the idyllic fantasy of living in a small, friendly community while managing a steadily improving farm, or you can focus on the relationships you build with the people and get a surprisingly deep level of connection and characterization out of the NPCs. There are literally moments and interactions I still reminisce about years after my first playthrough, and whenever I fire the game up I know I'll end up playing it for dozens of hours.    … Expand

You start farming, fishing, woodchopping. Seasons last 28 days and each season has its unique dynamics as to what you can plant. For your combat needs, there is a mine you can explore. You can cook, tailor…

    But most importantly, you interact with your fellow villagers. The game encourages you to talk to them frequently, and at times to give present, do a favor. As seasons pass, you will get to explore different personalities, become friends with people who may not appear nice at first impression. Character development is excellent, thanks to the one-man dev team Eric Barone, a.k.a. ConcernedApe.

    It’s hard to understand from gameplay videos why Stardew Valley is perfect at what it’s trying to do. Stardew Valley is the perfect game for escapism.

    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 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

    - 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.

    Verdict - 10/10.    … Expand

Si le gameplay est agréable, j’ai quand même l’impression d’avoir fait le tour des choses à découvrir/faire après un peu plus de dix heures de jeu, surtout après avoir atteint le niveau le plus profond de la mine. Je regrette notamment que le plus gros des quêtes consiste a récupérer des objets perdus (je me demande encore pourquoi le short du maire était chez ma voisine !), ou encore de donner des œufs, ou autres… ça finit par perdre de l’intérêt. Stardew Valley est une belle petite aventure à vivre mais manque en mon sens de quelques éléments supplémentaires pour m’attirer plus qu’il ne l’a fait.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very relaxing and enjoyable game to play; especially with others. I found little to no bugs nor glitches. Surprisingly, repetition wasn't a problem at all. There were no problems farming the same crop or even catching the same fish because there are a large variety of them.

    The characters are great. Every one of them are unique, and may open up to you overtime depending on how you interact with them. Though, your relationships can and will decay if you don't talk to a person for a day. This won't affect you too much unless you neglect someone for too long.

    The story is one of the best parts in my opinion. I feel like the story isn't really about rebuilding the community center, rather your adventure; every character's story can be different. I don't know how to exactly explain it, but just know you have freedom over what you want to do and what order you do it in.

    The end-game is when your farm is fully complete: Everything is automatically maintained, you have many buildings that serve different purposes, your farm is refined and polished, etc. Though I must add, the end-game is a bit lacking like many people say.

    One of the things I most love about this game is the information it feeds you - I didn't need a wiki for anything. You're given useful tips and information from villagers, signs, letters, TVs, and even books.

    I absolutely recommend Stardew Valley - except if you like to finish games quickly. I feel like the way to truly enjoy this game is by basking in it, like how people take their time eating to fully enjoy the food's flavour.

    This is a great game in my opinion, and a great way to relieve stress too. Sometimes you gotta escape from reality, and Stardew the Valley.

It feels very short. There isn't much point playing beyond the third year in a regular game and really relies on the very active and supportive modding community to produce DLC level content which breathes new life into the game.

    Stardew Valley effectively combines the wholesome experience of farming, intriguing challenges of quests, and multi-faceted aspects of foraging, fishing, mining, as well as interacting with NPC's. The game, with a 2D pixel-style, remains entertaining through its countless possibilities of development and exploration, while at the same time being entirely free of stress.

    Stardew Valley is a very calm and relaxing game that somehow is a perfect fit for everyone! If you just want to have a relaxing time doing some farming or some random stuff you can do that and it's just as valid of trying to squeeze every lest bit of money you can out of every action if you're the type who has fun optimizing everything.

There's so many ways to play and so many things to do in what seems like just a simple farming simulator. I'd certainly recommend picking it up and it has multiplayer so playing with a friend can make it that much more great! (or horrible depending on what type of people you hang out with)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was my first time to play this game.

    I spent a whole week almost 7 hours each day.
    During the mode, I also set up a love mod, and it was a bit shocking to see nurse Maru go to George’s home and doing the happy thing, dang, human’s creativity is unlimited…

    It's no fun but I'd appreciate it if you read it.

    I played overwhelmingly positive Portals 1 and 2 on Steam played no more than two days. Let's see if there's anything else in the Stade Valley:

    hours, energy system
    Can't relax the game. With a little time, there are tons of things to do. If you spend a day without pausing, you need to strategically move the line about 12 minutes in real-time. You gotta build farming, also dating, quests, fishing, mining, such as a variety of systems that will never be able to stop. Every a couple of weeks, village events are held, which excludes two days out of 28 days, so there is not enough time to do anything goof and off. Also, to build a friendly heart with the villagers, you need to give them a birthday present every three days. Different residents have different tastes, you have to mine rare metals from the mines or souvenir flowers in full bloom on time and stock up on wine, jelly, and pickles. In the game intro, the character gets tired of city life. Maybe he felt boring. On the other hand, Rural life is busier than in the city. I think only I was so busy because the residents of Pelican Town enjoyed life such as walking, boarding, drumming, and reading in a library. Some residents might feel full of hate of free life. What a Happy Life!

    Wish to add
    If you got married, hope to make new contents after marriage, such as divorce and affair. It would have become a realistic marriage. Married residents could have a new relationship beyond their spouse. There is also a negative relationship between people. For example, the quest to find Lewis’ the purple shorts, a pale black-haired son, Sebastian, between a black man and ginger, stuck under the basement implied a bad family environment. Instead of just watching the situation, I hope the player actively intervenes in family affairs and let the user lead them, whether the family became destroyed or reconciled, happy again.
    There are four seasons, and seasonal fruits, vegetables, but agricultural products were sold for the same prices, any seasons. If the user decides when to sell the goods, the price should be different according to the time for each item.

    I'm Asian
    Nationality, which has made great strides in economic growth in my country since the 1970s, may have caused diligence in my gameplay. If you're not like me, you might be able to enjoy and don’t care about the “things-to-do”. I looked for a strategy, patched the efficiency-related mods, and drew a line based on the location of the gift resident, quests, and other things. So I thought of myself trying to spend my time efficiently.
    In fact, it doesn't matter if you're looking for efficiency in games. How much you enjoyed the game is the reason for the game. You may get bored with the slow taste of the playful play, or you may find yourself in the efficiency and feel deprived.

    Then did I enjoy Stardew Valley?
    Yes, I did. It was fun.
    This is the first time I've written after the game and it's impressive. I was surprised to make my rural life more busy and fun. Developers paid a lot of attention to the content. I saw effort made the game not boring. This made me feel like I was living in Stardew Valley.
    One year is enough time to enjoy the game. I'm spending my first winter and now I have to say goodbye to this game. The reason is the second year onwards, you won’t feel as same as the newness and joy of the first year, just doing the same or slightly better, easily expected jobs (I guess a mod I installed may be accelerated content consumption).

    I quit a game before ending if only repeating jobs with no further expectations left to do. I still have the rest of the contents: getting married, traveling desert. But, I recommend playing only the first year when you end up enjoying it without compulsory to see the ending.
    It was fun to play this game, and the afterglow was left.    … Expand

    The platonic ideal of a Harvest Moon game. Part farming sim, part time management, part RPG, part dungeon crawler.

    Everything about Stardew Valley is charming. The music, the graphics, the townsfolk, the gameplay loop. It's constantly inviting you back for just one more day. It's impossible to describe what is so compelling about a game like this without playing it. To start from    The platonic ideal of a Harvest Moon game.

    It's impossible to describe what is so compelling about a game like this without playing it. To start from nothing, grow some crops, struggle in the dungeon, make some friends, and end up a wealthy dungeon master with a wife and kid a few game-years later is an experience few other genres can match.

    Though there have been several big updates since launch, it's taken until VERY recently for anything meaty to be added to the endgame. But it's a minor gripe with one of my favorite games of the decade.    … 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.

    Stardew Valley is a fine, smart farm simulation game. It is slow and it involves a lot of daily tasks, but in Stardew Valley there is something ingenious about those tasks.
