    It is hard to believe that this game is made by one person.
    Very immersive.
    You can see that this is one of the games that made with passion.
    Farming, dating, friendship sim.

    Solid, cute, and relaxing- but it requires a hefty time commitment and moves along at a snail pace. If you can get past that, I found this deeply rewarding as an experience to share with a friend. It's also extraordinarily beautiful, with excellent and consistent graphics and audio.

    I think startdews graphics are wonderful. The music is quite relaxing and this game, while challenging is fun and rewarding. You can unwind after a long day and just farm, or you can go into the mine, or raise animals or fish or anything there are many things to do in this game and it is absolutely excellent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stardew Valley is a one-man project created by ConcernedApe. This Farming RPG simply excels in its attempt to make you have fun and relax. Even the parts that seem hectic aren't overwhelming, any enemies you may fight being simple to get through. How great is it, really?

    ----------------
    Music/Graphics:

    The artwork for this game is amazing. The pixel graphics clearly had a lot of care and effort poured into them, with good shading performed everywhere. I don't get why people hate this graphical style because it is still amazing even today. Just look at Shovel Knight for another example of a great, pixel art game.

    The music is simply celestial. Barone clearly knew what he was doing here, as the OST of this game is one of the best I have heard, period. Even the title screen has good music! Sound effects are not shabby either, helping to draw you into the game's fictional but (mostly) realistic world.

    --------------
    Narrative:

    The narrative opens with your grandpa dying and giving you a title deed to a farm. Years later, as a bored office clerk, you open it up, ditch the company, and take the long trip to Stardew Valley, where Pelican Town resides. You take the cluttered farm and for a few in-game years, help it thrive. Or, you know, you could just forget farming and focus on the relationships.

    After those 2 years, you will see a cutscene where your grandfather's ghost talks to you, grading you based on how well you've kept the farm. That's basically the narrative, otherwise, its an open-world/open-ended game, do what you want. It is very easy to get carried away and lose track of the time.

    -------------
    Mechanics:

    The game's mechanics really work well with the premise. Farming is calm and relaxing, only requesting a few scarecrows to keep...well, crows away. It's oh-so-satisfying to harvest a large crop and see the profit you have made at the end of a day, whether you went to the mines, talked to the villagers, or stayed and chilled with your crops and animals. I only wish that it did not get repetitive after a few years, but otherwise, it is a really great bundle of fun.

    Fishing is probably the most negative section for me with the ludicrous timing and reactivity required to captures fish when you are short of skill points and/or bait. Otherwise, it is fine. Just takes getting used to. Use tackles whenever you can to make life easier.

    One of the most fun parts of this game is the relationship/friendship segment. By befriending villagers, you gain access to recipes, get sent items in the mail, and can even marry them if they have "single" under their name in the Relationships menu. To get married, raise a villager to 8 hearts and throw a bunch of bouquets at them. Once they reach 10 hearts, go see an old guy at the beach and get a "Mermaid's Pendant", which allows you to propose and marry the NPC you choose. You can even have children!

    The RPG elements are also quite sound. Skill points are earned by performing various tasks(foraging, farming, fishing, combat, mining) and make said jobs easier or more productive with upgrades at levels 5 and 10. Tool upgrades not only make them work faster but with certain ones(hoe and watering can) you can do multiple tiles at once, speeding up some lengthy processes!

    Finally, the main fetch quest of the game, the abandoned town hall. You are sent by adorable creatures called Junimos to collect certain items across the town, caves, and Calico Desert. Completing each room opens up a new room to fill and changes things in the world. For example, upon completing the Vault, you unlock the bus to Calico Desert.

    -----------
    Game World:

    Stardew Valley is set in Pelican Town, a tiny country village filled with all sorts of interesting characters and pretty landscapes. Minus the magical/fantasy elements to the game, it paints a realistic setting that feels and looks great. The characters are filled with personalities of their own, no character is the same. This helps make the world as believable(again, minus the magic stuff) as it is.

    ----------
    Conclusion

    Stardew Valley is an amazing game, definitely worth the minor $16 it costs on the Steam store. Unless you dislike calmer, farming games like this, this game is a must-have. The major reason, along with minor ones, I did not award 10/10 is that it gets repetitive after a few in-game years. Sad but true. There are always mods and different farm layouts to play with though, so you'll be sure to spend countless hours playing this amazingly well-built game.

    I always play this game when I cannot fall asleep since it brings peace to me. This game does an excellent job in what it is trying to offer. If you wonder whether to buy this game all you need is to watch its advertisement and pay for it if you want the experience you saw it the ads (Ironically, do not apply this method for most other game ads.). Overall, it is a great game, and I enjoy it.

    The true revival of Harvest Moon, a charming game with placement, crafting and other systems similar to Minecraft. In it you must manage a farm, fish, battle with monsters and mine to grow your enterprise, attract the ladies and become a friend of everyone.

    Even if the site says it doesn't have online multiplayer, it actually does now, it's a coop mode that can be used once a player builds a cabin to house another player, which is very cheap and then your friend will live there and share money.

    It's a experience to be sure.

    Stardew Valley is an absolutely delightful farming game with loads of stuff to do and tons of interesting town people to befriend. Stardew Valley is the game, that will keep you awake throughout the night as you realize it's 3AM already and think: "just one more day!"

    The only gripe I have with this game is that is seems to lack proper endgame content. After a while (say, 2 years of in-game time) the gameplay WILL get extremely repetitive. Unless you absolutely love designing your farm or taking on RNG to complete the museum collection, you won't find much incentive to continue playing after finishing the main storyline. This, however, will slowly change as the game receives new updates.

    Thankfully, it all boils down how YOU want to play the game. Stardew Valley offers something for everyone: whether you like simple farming, adventuring, experiencing stories, bullet hells, or even mindless grinding, you will find something fun to do.

    On top of it all the game is consistently being updated (no DLCs), each and every update being completely free! Stardew Valley is an amazing game with hard-working devs, and totally deserves the attention it has received.

    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.

    Something funny to add, I bought this game three times (Switch, PS4, Steam) because I love it very much.

    => Pros:
    + Incredibly engaging game;
    + Relaxing;

    + 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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stardew Valley is a neat game entirely made by a single person. 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

    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.

O sentimento de leveza e curiosidade ao explorar o vasto mundo do Vale do Orvalho, combatendo os inúmeros monstros nas minas, socializando com os aldeões que possuem um caráter comportamental de excelentíssima qualidade para um jogo indie, cuidando de sua fazenda todos os dias e que te não faz ficar cansado. Ainda levando em consideração a arte muito bem feita e a trilha sonora característica que sempre distribui um aconchego ao seus ouvidos.

    É um game espetacular, se tornou meu jogo favorito, igualmente para outros jogadores como eu.

    Now, ignoring that, this is an amazing game where you can achieve many things and all of them, while slow, are always entertaining, interesting and rewarding. If you achieve something it does not only feel good on its own, you also immediately notice the positive impact. This is one of the few games where I got truely lost in and I want to bravo it for that.
    There were also lots of fun updates so far, adding dozens of hours of content, and there are likely more to come.

    (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)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    By its slow-paced nature, Stardew Valley constantly seeks to teach the life lesson to take your time and not worry so much about what must be achieved. While the long-term goals may be present for you, you cannot achieve them all in one day or sitting - the game has no intention of you doing so. If you're tired of other games offering you the dopamine drip or are feeling a need to slow yourself down in general, I highly recommend Stardew Valley.

    Okay, it's not going to give you god rays, superfantastic hyperrealistic graphics, but if you've looked at even one screenshot, none of this is going to come as a surprise.

    I've taken to playing more indie games these days, as AAA developers have worn me out with the bloat, the tired plots, the microtransactions, and just all-round general greed.

    It's funny. I'm usually the sort of person who goes for the most realistic (preferably flight and battle simulations), the most hard-hitting, the atmosphere of dread and panic. My idea of fun is being bogged down by Monolith and mutants in the STALKER Anomaly mod just as the damn gun I forgot to maintain jams on me and I leg it in terror. Often straight into an unseen anomaly. Foom.

    Well, this is the opposite of that. And I really like it.

    It's gentle, or at least as gentle as you want it to be. I think I ignored most of my farm initially and went on dungeoneering quests to Fight All The Things!

    Now, I relax, and farm. I say hi to my friendly chickens, rabbits, cows and goats. I grow trees. I get some nice food going. I visit the special holidays where I get to show off my nifty produce. I do a little fishing. I give people presents and hang out.

    It's nice. It's actually got a fair bit of complexity to it as well, but dammit, I have a good time, and I feel relaxed for it.

    Took me a while to learn that you can put hats on horses. Mine has a sailor's cap on, and it's adorable.

    You see what I mean? It's jolly. It's pleasant. It's quite immersive once you get into it. It's also very cute.

    But cute isn't *all* it is. It's got a lot going for it.

    If all that sounds bad to you, maybe you won't like it. Though you might. It's a small download, doesn't take up much space on your hard drive, won't work your CPU to boiling point and it's pretty easy to get into, but has more going on than just what is on the surface.

    If all that sounds good to you, then have at it. You'll most likely have a good time.

    I had a good time. I still have a good time with it.

    No one is more surprised than me.

    Now on 1.4 much of the rougher edges have been smoothed out. Multiplayer works (mostly) and things hum along. You can mix/max it or plant whatever and just have fun, everything is up to you. 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. Without the mods it is a good game but with the mods it becomes a great game and I hope that for 1.5 or beyond we see some standout mods like SVE integrated into the main game.

Later on you start to think, what you will do in the day, because there is so much to do and the day time is restricted. Anyway, after few weeks the game becomes repetitive and you feel the need to grind. Another weakness is the bad overview of all the items. There are so many and you need to search, where you need an item you have found. It is not only that you need to look ingame, but also in wiki, to know what to do with it -> Fun killer. This all should be ingame and easier to manage.
    Graphics looks really too old and simple. The good thing is, it is looking sweet and fits to the whole atmosphere of the game: not modern graphic. Anyway it could be better.

    A very fun game that expands on Harvest Moon's classic concept. Gets a bit slow and repetitive at times, and the combat can be messy and unresponsive. Still, recommended. Devs keep adding more and more content.

    Great game with great idea's but something is missing.
    there is no endgame and not really much content ( in Winter you cant do really much).
    But the first 20 hours of game play you are having a lot of fun and that makes it a great game.

    2D farming sim that takes its inspiration from Harvest Moon. But improves on the formula and adds many new mechanics. There is such a huge selection of crops and things to do that you never feel like you have enough daylight. The dungeon combat is very shallow and fishing is a PITA at the start. There is just so much you can do but not a lot that you have to do. The missions are generic.2D farming sim that takes its inspiration from Harvest Moon.

Now, I can see how others would enjoy this game, but I for sure do not have enough patience to fully enjoy it. It's slow paced but not necessarily in a bad way, just too slow for my personal licking. It's unique, and I liked the feel of owning a farm. One thing that I think is just bad is how repetitive it can get can be really irritating. But i recommend the game anyway, it's not terrible, for some it's a great game! I just didn't enjoy the slow pace, but for sure it's not a really bad game. Expand

    I'm going to be frank here; I don't see where all the hype is for this game. I played and loved Harvest Moon on the GBA and NGC, and thoroughly played Animal Crossing, Minecraft and Terraria. Unfortunately, this game failed to meet the expectations I had after hearing all the hype that it was supposedly an amazing spiritual successor to Harvest Moon.

    The game is really slow and nothing
    I'm going to be frank here; I don't see where all the hype is for this game. I played and loved Harvest Moon on the GBA and NGC, and thoroughly played Animal Crossing, Minecraft and Terraria. Unfortunately, this game failed to meet the expectations I had after hearing all the hype that it was supposedly an amazing spiritual successor to Harvest Moon.

    The game is really slow and nothing much happens for long periods of time besides repetitive farming, and not out of volition but out of necessity in order to make the game gradually less grindy. The game doesn't really introduce anything new to the casual farming simulator formula, and I don't see how it is as good as people claim it is.

    How should I say it? It's like the game doesn't feel satisfying to play. It's as if I'm just pushing on in order to see what happens further on in the game, which isn't much. The only part that's kind of fun to play is the mining because of the battling and exploration, but if that's all I'm playing the game for, I might as well play Terraria instead.

    I've tried multiplayer as well as installing some mods, which significantly improved my gameplay experience, but I'm still struggling to justify playing the game further. If you want my advice, stick to Harvest Moon or Terraria. You'll enjoy (re)playing those instead of this.

    A fun and extremely charming game that’s great when you just want to relax and have a good time. It takes the concept of harvest moon and not only makes everything better but it also incorporates new ideas and gameplay mechanics in a brilliant way. Everything from the farming to the combat to the character interactions are great considering the type of game it’s trying to be.

    A fun and extremely charming game that’s great when you just want to relax and have a good time. It takes the concept of harvest moon and not only makes everything better but it also incorporates new ideas and gameplay mechanics in a brilliant way. Everything from the farming to the combat to the character interactions are great considering the type of game it’s trying to be.

    Though the game is not without its flaws. After playing it for a while things start to get repetitive and things like farming feels more like real lives chores instead of fun gameplay. The game also loses the sense of meaningful progression after a while and after that it loses traction in trying to push me forward in the game. Though these flaws are only based on my personal opinion and these feelings might not apply to everyone.

    Overall it’s just what I wanted from this kind of game and I loved playing it. Though it is not one of the most memorable games that I’ve played, it’s defiantly one of the most charming. If the game had clearer and bigger goals to accomplish it would have hooked me for a lot longer but the magic of the game wore of quicker than I would have hoped. But in the end it’s a good game and I would recommend it to everyone that want to play a charming and relaxing game.

    Игра в своем жанре очень хороша в своем жанре.
    Но она не для всех.
    Кому то зайдет а кому то нет.
    Мне просто не зашла.
    Наиграл не так много, и играл с другом в мультиплеере.

    Забавная пиксельная игра про обустройство собственной фермы. В игре достаточно занятий: фермерство, животноводство, собирательство, зачистка 100 уровневого подземелья, много предметов для крафта. В целом очень приятная игра если хочется поаутировать сбежав от городской суеты.Забавная пиксельная игра про обустройство собственной фермы.

    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.
