Mar 28, 2016Perfect game, only wish the controller support was actually designed properly, often you find yourself swinging at the air and watering the wrong crops, but hey, once your farm is automated it doesn't hold you back from everything else. Spent the entire first year being an antisocial farming god and now completing the Community Center. Looking forward to some DLC ! Fingers crossed!

Mar 16, 2016This is my favourite game in the last 10 years. So far the Dev released 6 patches (in 3 weeks) and the game itself is marvellous and reminiscent of old times when games were created to be fun, not to make the most amount of money. A very nostalgic experience with all the touches of life-improvement modern features. Amazing.

Mar 19, 2016Picked this up after seeing several friends playing it, and the only 'complaint' I could come up with would be "Now I want to buy a farm in a bad way." Game is seriously just a ton of fun... well worth what it's selling for.

Mar 8, 2016TL:DR - Buy the game. Now. Seriously. No... just do it.
The best $15 you will ever spend. I loved Harvest Moon as a young teen, and when I saw this on GOG, I nearly fell out of my chair. Then I fired up the game... it was a lot more than Harvest Moon. It was amazing. Lots of depth, plenty of things to do, lots of secrets, and plenty of surprises hit me dead in the face. -
Dec 26, 2016Everything I wanted from a new Harvest Moon. And more. Get ready to spend lots of "just five more minutes" with this one.
STARDEW VALLEY GOTY 2016!!!! -

Dec 1, 2016Did you enjoy harvest moon, but wish there was a game that fleshes everything in it out a bit more? Here it is.
Don't let the retro graphics fool you, and don't be deterred by the fact that it's an "Indy title". This is a huge game with hundreds of hours of gameplay to offer, at least. -
Feb 26, 2016Harvest Moon is back! And its simple and fun again. From the soundtrack to its gameplay its simply a true work of art done by one man. Thank You STARDEW VALLEY.o0O

Feb 26, 2016This is an amazing Harvest-Moonesque/Animal Crossingesque inspired game. I've been following the development for a while and I was still really impressed with the quality of this game. Combine that with the fact that one guy made this and there's no reason not to get it if you've been looking for this type of game for the PC.

Apr 6, 2016This is a great game made by a developer that has mashed all of our favorite games into one. It is like so many games, but like no other. Games like Harvest Moon never held my attention too long, but this has so many things to do that it keeps me hooked for hours. I can't suggest this any higher to anyone that liked Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, or just any relaxing game to play.

Mar 17, 2016Charming and addictive in the purest possible way. The no scope MLG kiddies might not care much for the graphics and assume the game sucks because of that, but that just means they are missing out. This game is the best $15 you could possibly spend since Rocket League's debut.

Mar 24, 2016metacritic says Stardew has 24 negative and it only has 2 comment from 2000's born kids (sadly, they lost the golden era of gaming).
This game should be 9.9 but what can we do with ignorance
Winterspark: so sad to be you I do't even have words for him.
Kummaz ¿only nostalgia? Not really there are manypixel games on steam and none has been this succesful. -
Jun 9, 2020Wow what a game! This game is so COZY. If you are looking for the super cozy vibe of having a plot of land in a forested valley with hints of magic, this is the exact game you have been waiting for. There's alot more to this game than farming.
-
Mar 17, 2016Surprisingly good game! I was not sure i would like it when i first saw it because it looked like another farming game. It has surprising depth and there are many ways to make money. The game does a great job of giving you nudges on what to do but leaves the strategies up to you.
Loved it! -

Dec 25, 2022Tengo este juego en pc, consola y movil, es un lugar que te hace sentir tan bien y seguro, yo lo pensaba hace un tiempo. Me recuerda a esos dias de lluvia despues del cole en el que podias llegar a casa y tomar un chocolate caliente, es simplemente un lugar seguro.

Jan 16, 2017This game is amazing. And it was made by only one person. It is basically like Harvest Moon and Rune Factory combined but for PC. You farm, mine, fight monsters, and build improvements on your farm. There are lots of characters that offer unique quests and you can even get married. It's a very relaxing game, if you like RPG's or farming simulators you should give it a try.

Apr 24, 2016Don't brush it off as a Harvest Moon clone, this is way more that that! The game has charming and delightful personality of its own, guaranteed hours of fun!

Jul 19, 2017Stardew 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.

Sep 23, 2016Don'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.

Jul 25, 2016Stardew 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.
