    The game has such an excellent premise, and a lot of great content, but one negative aspect killed it for me: The days are very short. You are always timed. Every move has to be carefully planned, or you’ll hit the end of the day, and incur an energy penalty for the next day.

You are always timed. Every move has to be carefully planned, or you’ll hit the end of the day, and incur an energy penalty for the next day.

    If it weren’t for this, if, instead, you were assigned a certain number of ‘energy points’ that you could spend on the tasks of the day or something like that, this would’ve been a 10/10 from me. But the fact that I felt timed and rushed throughout made it a stressful experience rather than a fun one.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has no ending even if you like it or not that there is no ending it will still suck because a game that is endless will grow dull and old and we humans desire more than an endless mode and the game was just a copy of a better game that people thinks it's terrible, in my opinion and other's perspective it's not worth buying or playing. Many people will ruin it for you especially it's forum. I asked for help in the forum and everyone just trolled me including the administrator and said bye and then they banned me without answering my question.

    The story isn't even that good, they just think Amazon is the illuminate and wants to drag you into hell and the main character quits its job and starts a new life in a barn which doesn't make sense because his grandpa owns a land and the character does not even use and live thereit in the first place even his mother doesn't lesson him to take over his grandpa's farmland.

    IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

    If you want to waste your time than playing Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, you should just try it and see it for yourself.    … Expand

    Будь игра без боевой системы и шахт в целом игра получилась бы достойно, но когда разработчик добавляет экшен-составляющую и она хуже чем в его предыдущих проектах это позор. Персонаж неповоротлив, враги игнорируют отталкивающие удары, персонаж порой вообще не слушается твоих нажатий и я уверен, что я не один такой, у кого была эта проблема, ставлю 0 потому-что игра добавила эту дряньБудь игра без боевой системы и шахт в целом игра получилась бы достойно, но когда разработчик добавляет экшен-составляющую и она хуже чем в его предыдущих проектах это позор. Персонаж неповоротлив, враги игнорируют отталкивающие удары, персонаж порой вообще не слушается твоих нажатий и я уверен, что я не один такой, у кого была эта проблема, ставлю 0 потому-что игра добавила эту дрянь (боевки) как обязательную дляигры механику, но нервов проходить через нее нет вовсе, поэтому в определенный момент я настолько морально устал от этой "крутой" фичи, что отпало желание играть в "это", и других способов продолжения игры нет, так как надо лезть за ресурсами, а нервы жалко. И кто подумает что, "надо брать больше еды", "играй в компании" , "у тебя плохой уровень игры" идите и играйте дальше, боевка - это бич этой игры, она ужасна, она не интересна, она идет игре во вред и это факт, не видел и не поверю людям, которые будут говорить что она хорошая.… Expand

    So the problem with this piece of **** is .. that is kinda good looking but... there is no point in playing it.
    Why do you do the things you do? Do they challenge you? are you thinking it like a giant business puzzle?
    NAHHHHHHHH its just "plant whatever you want... you'll get money anyway.. oh and once your "energy bar" is done... you are done so just waste the day and sleep or talk to    So the problem with this piece of **** is .. that is kinda good looking but... there is no point in playing it.

    The portability of the Nintendo Switch makes this undoubtedly the best way to play Stardew Valley. Unless you are really keen on modding the game, the combination of easy portability and excellent controls makes this a staple in any well-rounded Switch library. It's still the same great farm simulator it was on PC - robust, full of secrets, and comes with an inescapable charm that will keep pulling you back in, season after season.

    Run, don't walk. Visit the valley and lose yourself in nature like millions of other fans have! [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 26]

    The farming simulator genre is back and better than ever! Stardew Valley provides you an experience that just grows more and more as you play. Every little thing, from planting to befriending the community, becomes surprisingly meaningful as your hard works comes to life in front of you. With tons of content, it’ll keep you hooked into living this calm, pleasurable and magical second life, all made better with Switch’s portability.
