    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.

    I never get tired of this game. Since its original release I had bought it multiple times for different platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, Android Phone, Xbox and now PC.
    Stardew Valley is a game everyone must experience. 10/10!

    A spiritual successor to Harvest Moon that manages to surpass it. I was hesitant at first but it's truly an amazing game. It could only be improved with better character art.

    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.
    Recomendo esse jogo para pessoas que gostam de um passatempo gostoso, divertido e sem muito complicação.    … Expand

This is a real experience to play with your friends and have fun without forced to do side or main missions. For those who doesn't know anything about game, I want to explain it with few words. Best farming game ever. Period. I played lots of farming games like farming, ranch simulator but I haven't seen a farming game like this ever in my life. So get this game and start playing.

    What it's like to play: Stardew Valley is a grindy farming game. You farm, ranch, mine, fish, and build relationships with the NPCs in Pelican Town. 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

    I highly recommend this game, 10/10 for me. Although it totals to 8.6, I truly love this game. The negative of needing a wiki is only a problem because of how much amazing content there is.    … Expand

    (Reseña sacada de mi cuenta de Steam: APolChrome)

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

    What a masterpiece, for everyone who loves old gameboy styled games.
    The graphic style is made oldish but the game itself feels so new and innovative, its full of cool ideas, and cute events, many things to do, the only maybe not so perfect categorie in this is the fighting.
    But even with that, the game made me play 400hours and more.

    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.

    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.
