    I haven't played this game that much, but I haven't enjoyed this game as much as would've liked. It's probably just not a game for me. though.

    I didn't like the game. It offers a uncountable number of things to do, but it didn't give you a reason to do it. It was simply borring for me, however the game it well done, and have a lot of content.

    After hearing all the praise about this game from numerous publications I decided to give it a try, however to my surprise it failed to live up to all the expectations set before me.

It may be because I was expecting something more original than a harvest moon clone, it may be because in a game about farming where you make choices you can't choose to sell or eat meat which seams kinda ridiculous to me, it may be because of the feeling that this was made for hipsters who want to live the simple life but have no clue what's involved with living it. What ever the case may be I simply left feeling disappointed, wish I could enjoy this like everyone else seems to but for the above reasons I unfortunately can not.… Expand

    O jogo foi feito com bastante cuidado e atenção pelos desenvolvedores mas não me envolveu o suficiente para que eu permanecesse jogando por muito tempo. De fato, achei um jogo mais ou menos.

    This game was a disappointment for me. Couldn’t even make myself complete a signal in game year. This game gets boring pretty fast, it makes you do the same mindless repetitive tasks with little variation. There is io action or thrill — the game makes me bored. This is another over hyped indie.

    Unless you like boring and repetitive games:

    Don’t buy it!

    I'm glad so many people love this game. It's just not for me. After hearing that Stardew Valley would tide me over until Animal Crossing: New Horizons, I decided to check it out. I could not get into it. Everything felt like a chore to complete, and didn't satisfy me in the slightest. The controls felt fine except for that odd cursor on the screen, music was fine, visuals were decent, butI'm glad so many people love this game. It's just not for me.

    Nice graphics and good music, but even though the game is fun you quickly lose interest because the game is essentially pointless. Also the characters are absolutely void of personality.

    As I said I did find some enjoyment in it but it is essentially a glorified mobile/tablet game and it becomes repetitive really fast. Also the days are way too short. But the music is at times actually great.

    Honestly top 5 favorite games of ALL TIME and I don't say that lightly literally poured hundreds upon hundreds of hours into this delightful game and plan on spending hundreds more with the new update I feel the need to come back once again he really knocked it out of the park with this game

    It's a fun game after you get sucked into it, but it's a little bit slow at the beginning. It takes me a lot of effort to actually get myself to pick up and start playing the game, but once it's open it can be difficult to find a stopping point. Overall, it's entertaining, but I don't understand the hype.

    Great game, lots of value here, im missing alot of polish though. There are alot of small details i think should be here that arent, why can you even smash a plant with your pickaxe?? The whole silo system is pretty dumb.

    MEH. This is what comes up to my mind when I think of stardew valley. The game was ok at the beginning, but then started to be too boring. There's not much you can doo, the back and forth is frustrating, the days are too short to do much. I was excited at the beginning but then ended up really disappointed. Plus the music is awful.

    미친 1인 제작 게임. 모드 적용도 뛰어나 가능성이 무궁무진하다. 오랜만에 만난 귀농 힐링 게임으로 장르 내 독보적인 입지를 차지하고 있다. 좋은 점이 산더미이지만, 1년 내 발생하는 행사가 매년 같다는 점. 시간이 지날수록 할 일이 줄어들어 하루를 넘기게 된다는 점 등이 아쉽게 다가왔다. 지속적인 업데이트가 이루어져 나날히 발전하는 게임이 되었으면 좋겠다.미친 1인 제작 게임. 모드 적용도 뛰어나 가능성이 무궁무진하다. 오랜만에 만난 귀농 힐링 게임으로 장르 내 독보적인 입지를 차지하고 있다. 좋은 점이 산더미이지만, 1년 내 발생하는 행사가 매년 같다는 점. 시간이 지날수록 할 일이 줄어들어 하루를 넘기게 된다는 점 등이 아쉽게 다가왔다. 지속적인 업데이트가 이루어져 나날히 발전하는 게임이 되었으면 좋겠다.

    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.

    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.
