    I don't think I've played a game quite as addictive as this before. Which I'm not entirely sure is a good thing or not.

    Stardew Valley is an amazing game with addictive gameplay and tons of content. This is one of those games that I'll still be coming back to when all the other games have already grown stale. Best value on the Switch.

    An amazing mix of retro Harvest Moon elements and new features, impeccable! Stardew delivers short 20-minute days where you try to farm, fish, mine and socialize as much as you can to build an empire out of your deceased Grandpa's farm.

    Pros and cons from top to bottom: Pro: Loads of features: multiplayer, multiple farm layouts, dungeon crawling and crafting, for as start. Pro: Loads    An amazing mix of retro Harvest Moon elements and new features, impeccable! Stardew delivers short 20-minute days where you try to farm, fish, mine and socialize as much as you can to build an empire out of your deceased Grandpa's farm.

    Pros and cons from top to bottom:
    Pro: Loads of features: multiplayer, multiple farm layouts, dungeon crawling and crafting, for as start.
    Pro: Loads of content: I blew over 120 hours on this game and rarely felt like it was too grindy or boring (assuming you can deal with the repetitive style of Farm Sims) .
    Pro: The cast is genuinely interesting once you get to know them. I like that they have flaws like the Mayor who won't acknowledge his romance with one of the other townsfolk and the bachelor who gets blackout drunk on a few occasions.
    Con: The hero's inventory is too small, I don't mind leaving some stuff behind, but it starts out puny and ends not quite big enough. (granted also true for most games in the genre)

    Other minor notes:
    - The fishing mini game is too "hardcore" for some players.
    - Soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in a farm sim (granted not a strength of the genre IMO).
    - Graphics are obviously "just" 16-bit, not a big deal to me, but there it is.
    - The big Community Center quest forces you into doing a bit of everything, you'd have to ignore it if you don't want to fish or mine, for example.
    - You could get loads of mods by playing on PC, I don't care, but you might.
    Replay Value:

    - I spent over 120 hours on my first play-through and never found myself bored.
    - Between multiple farm layouts, endless customization on the farm, and the usual romance/marriage cycle, feels like lots of replayability.
    - The game is generally pretty easy, minus the fishing game and some of the mining.

    Dollar Value: I’d pay around $70 CDN (Roughly $50 US) for this game, way over the actual asking price. Stardew Valley is the king of the genre as far as I'm concerned.    … Expand

    Sometimes I'm picky when it comes to pixel graphics and the idea of farming combined with pixel graphics made me hesitate to play the game. It looked so tedious. As a lover of farming games, I got past that fairly quickly and the graphics aren't even a downfall.

To fully enjoy the game I had to look up tips and how do do stuff.

The price of the game on the switch is more expensive than on pc but it is worth buying it! It is a calm and relaxing game that really helps to reduce my stress and makes me happy because of the dialogue and interaction with the villagers. The game starts off with you escaping life in the city and become a farmer in your grandpa village. Grandpa left a house and land for you to start your new journey. There are many quests to do in the game; harvesting, fishing, mining, helping others NPC. I love the idea that you get more heart when you often speak and give a gift to them. I also enjoy the marriage system, you can choose an NPC that you want to marry, each NPC has its own story. I choose Sam for my first game, he is really nice and charming. He makes breakfast and helps to do some work on the farm for you. The game did not restrict you to do things in orders, it gives you the freedom to explore the world and do things by yourself. The game has 4 seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter. Each season the seeds for planting are different same as the fish, some fish can be found only in that season which adds beauty to the game. There is a cave that allows you to explore and mine the mineral for your crafting, there are monsters as an obstacle and it gets stronger as you go deeper in the cave. There is also a desert town for you to go explore the skull cave and I think is it very hard to reach level hundred, I have to craft lots of bombs to help to find the stair or hole to go down. I spent many hours on the game without knowing it, it is good to play on my bad day. The minor things about Stardew Valley on the Nintendo Switch are the online cross-platform is not available yet, the updates are slower than the pc version and the mod cannot be install.… Expand

    I only have one complaint and seems to be specific to the Switch version. There are occasional frame rate drops and inexplicable pauses that are actually really disruptive. While walking around the mines, sometimes the screen will just freeze but my character will keep walking, sometimes right into enemies and I wind up dying. It's also caused me to miss getting to sleep on time by a few seconds once or twice. Frustrating but not the end of the world.

    Overall it's just an amazing casual game. I would skip the Switch version and get it on PC though. The PC version gets quicker updates and has mods, among other things.    … Expand

If you don't like farming sims you may not like it but if you do this games worth every penny especially at its price. If it's your first playthrough take it slow and don't rely on the wiki too much.

    This sets the bar high for farming sims.
    There isn't a single mechanic in the game that is bothering me.

    Cons:
    - Gamepad controls are not perfect, this game is made for mouse + keyboard.
    - Performance on Switch not the best. On rainy days the fps can take a dive, but it does not matter in this kind of game really.

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!

    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

    Jogo excelente, foi uma das melhores descobertas no mundo de jogos indie que eu pude fazer, é um jogo extremamente vivo mesmo sendo em pixel art, muito viciante e sem duvidas um jogo feito com muito amor e carinho porém deixo um adendo, algumas vezes e quanto mais você joga, o jogo pode ficar meio repetitivo e até sem sentido.

    Cozy game! I can't say that it's very exciting, but it's not a bad road game. After all, its format is a smartphone. Although I played it on a 50-inch TV screen. I played for 100 hours, then I feel sorry for the time.

    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.
