    I waited on Stardew Valley when it launched, despite being a solid Harvest Moon fan and everybody telling me it was an amazing title, I just wasn't feeling it.

    When it came to Switch I figured why not? If you, like me, waited on this game - you're doing yourself an injustice.

    The last time I used the words "perfect game" I think it was after Witcher 3 launched. Stardew Valley is a perfect game. Perfect sound, perfect gameplay - perfect embodiment of the classic in every way and it expands on those ideas even further.

    Within about 5-10 hours, you'll feel about as accomplished as you would at any point in classic Harvest Moon - and then the floodgates open up. This is a 50+ hour campaign, and you could easily sink three times that long into completing everything.

    Add a layered and deep social system, classic adventure style segments and a literal metric ton of things to unlock, progress in or complete - you will spend about as much time searching this tiny map of Stardew Valley as you would in the world of Skyrim or any other massive playing field.

    As a long time gamer, I can value this much more in terms of achievement - making a small space feel dense and full of life some dozens of hours into an experience is a much more meaty endeavor in my opinion, and much harder to pull off.

    The fact it was all done by one man is simply incredible, and I sincerely hope he's getting the support he needs to keep doing this - but I can't see how he wouldn't after an initial game like this.

    TLDR - just buy it, especially if you're a retro/RPG/simulation/adventure/good lord this game has everything fan. 100/10    … Expand

It's a simple assertion, but the job of turning ideas and lines of code into memorable moments is everything but 'simple'. This is something I often come to when thinking about creativity, and it gets exponentially more fascinating whenever a video game manages to transcend the confines of what it apparently should be. Stardew Valley, a life simulation game inexplicably designed by a single person, gave me a lot of fun. But also so much more.

    In the game, your customizable avatar has inherited a patch of land on the countryside and, tired of the demands of modern life, decides to bring an old farm back to life. From there, it's all about buying seeds, planting crops, nurturing them. Then eventually building a coop, a barn, buying animals, selling their produce. It's a soothing cycle that can be laid-back fun, but also a fine challenge for those looking to micromanage everything and being as productive as possible. It's really up to you to approach farming life however you want.

    The first indication of something special lying beyond first impressions is how everything in the farming mechanics comes so naturally. There's no true tutorial here, not really; most of the whys and hows are presented as you go, with nothing to break the immersion. You just go about your business, figure things out, and they happen. This is why Stardew Valley is a game better experienced by not looking anything up in advance; just start a file and let it flow.

    Soon enough, you'll realize this is not simply a farm sim. You'll walk to nearby Pelican Town and get to know its characters, its locations, its wonderful idiosyncrasies. If you're anything like me, you'll be amazed at how those little pixelated beings can pack so much personality, thanks to the game's excellent writing. You may feel a little silly after turning off the console and realizing just how involved you are with virtual characters you like or dislike. That warm, persistent, almost indescribable feeling you get all the while makes it all worth it, though. Some may even call it 'fun'.

    And then it goes on. Months pass, bringing new events, local holidays, quests. Seasons come and go, meaning you have to change crops. You go foraging, fishing, mining. You meet mystical beings, you join an adventurer's guild to fight wild creatures and monsters. You realize there is so much more to everything in the game, to the point that there's secrets to uncover and new things to see dozens of hours in. There are new areas and gameplay mechanics you never even imagined when you started a modest farm so long ago. You feel so much joy for helping Pelican Town be the best it can be, you start feeling genuine camaraderie towards this or that character (yes, pixel characters on a pixel town).

    Suddenly you're not just midlessly experiencing a recreational activity, but also feeling immersed, enthralled by a certain sense of wonder that only the best works of art can bring about. This is further enhanced by the absolutely phenomenal music, from upbeat spring songs to ydillic summer tunes to melancholy winter ballads. And I guess I mentioned all of this was made by a single person?

    TL;DR:
    Stardew Valley is one of those special treats that make me such a believer in the independent game scene. It's overflowing with passion and care, and those are the only factors that can explain how a single person managed to develop such a deep and involving title. By taking the farming sim genre and adding large helpings of exploration and combat, as well as a cast of characters that feel extremely real in spite of their pixellated origins, this is a game that has etched itself into my gaming life in a very precious way. At the end of the day, my time in Pelican Town is (not 'was', as it's still ongoing for the foreseeable future) the very definition of fun. But also so much more.

    The perfect fit for a game genre ever. Stardew Valley is the best harvest moon we never got, with the amount of depth, costomization, exploration and writing and considering this game was made by one single man. This game is something special, and if there is a platform you can invest more than 100 hours with it it is the Nintendo Switch.

Needless to say I was a huge fan of the original Harvest Moon games for Gameboy years ago and really don't like the direction the Harvest Moon series has taken in recent years with the basic tacky 3D art style and low production value. Its a shame what has happened to the Harvest Moon series but ALAS this is a review of Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley is everything the original Harvest Moon games were to me in the 90s and far more. I absolutely love it. If this was the only game I had on switch I would be fine with that. I have a hard time putting it down. There are so many options and so much to do and its just beautiful in every way. I love meeting all the characters in the town, taking care of my dog and animals and learning how to grow my crops and mine ore and craft equipment. Its like a hybrid of Harvest Moon with strong RPG elements sprinkled in with a bit of handheld Legend of Zelda flavoring and a good pinch of Animal Crossing. This game wears its inspirations proudly on its sleeves and does them all justice. If I could give this game an 11 out of 10 I would. This game is so relaxing and I love discovering how to do everything in the game on my own and very rarely look at wikis for help. Theres so much to discover and you can play it anyway you like. I cannot recommend this game highly enough. I just can't wait for them to add multiplayer!… Expand

    'beat' in around 75 hours.

    This game in a way could be endless though if you have wanted it to. There is however a background narrative and a plateau on how much more you can progress though that was noticeable right around 50 hours. When I started reaching the plateau I mostly was just waiting around for a certain season to finish some quests and the community center. With that time I    'beat' in around 75 hours.

When I started reaching the plateau I mostly was just waiting around for a certain season to finish some quests and the community center. With that time I was able to engage a lot with getting to know the community, so it still felt fun. When I was making $1 million+ in income and never really felt struggling anymore and anything extra felt like fluff, maxed out all my stats, finished a good chunk of relationships, I definetly knew the end was in sight.

    I really enjoyed my time with this and honestly so glad I finally got around to playing. I knew there was hype about this game and I can see why now. It's really the ultimate farming/social sim game and has everything I could have asked for.

    I really enjoyed managing and designing my farm. It was the ultimate cozy game for me to zone out to when listening to an audiobook. I also enjoyed the locals and getting to know them. Although I wish some more story beats were given to them all, some felt kinda pointless to level up and even a bit tedious.

    Overall though I'm super satisfied with this entire experience. When I finally felt like I reached the end and plateaued, in my head I roleplayed that my job was done, the big bad was kicked out, grandpa was happy and my character sold off everything I saved up throughout my play through. By the end I had around 30 million, so my character could leave into the sunset rich and fulfilled.    … Expand

    Stardew Valley is the apex of indie game design. Taking the foundation laid by Harvest Moon and improving upon it in every possible way, it is an engrossing game that can be played comfortably at any pace. Even after hundreds of hours, there are new things to discover and experience.

    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

    There isn't a single mechanic in the game that is bothering me.

    - Gamepad controls are not perfect, this game is made for mouse + keyboard.

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.

    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.

    This game deserves all the love, has a very atmospheric and relaxing soundtrack, fitting every single place and the gameplay is very well done. While grinding there's an stamina bar and when fighting monsters to gather materials or avoiding trouble there is a health bar, and that makes this game more RPG and more challenging.

There's just a few problems with the Switch release right now:
    1. no mods. This is unsurprising, since Stardew Valley mods aren't even a Steam Workshop thing but done through the third-party SMAPI, even though they have their own section on the SDV forum. It's not really a big deal but it's just a little disappointing for me.
    2. save times. For some reason, it takes like ten to fifteen seconds to save on the Switch, even though it's near instant on desktop. I have no idea why it is, and I think it might be something about the MonoGame engine itself that isn't easily fixable, but it is definitely noticeable. Hopefully it can be sped up somehow.
    3. audio issues. There is a very audible crackle in the left speaker whenever there's a particularly bassy sound played. the SDV team has already acknowledged this and it's a documented issue with Unreal Engine 4. The team said that just changing the sample rate of the audio would fix it, so hopefully that fix will be pushed in an update soon.
    Other than that, it's the same Stardew Valley I already know and love. It's got all the same characters, all the same features, everything. I really hope that patches for the second and third issues come out soon, because they're the only things keeping the Switch version from being a perfect 10 for me.    … Expand

    Let's first start with the negatives, which are scarce. The loading time especially at the start can be long, and the console edition of Stardew Valley does have it's own "Hitting the right tile" problem, since it just isn't as accurate as you could be with a mouse. So sometimes you will water the wrong crops, or waste energy on accidentally hitting something you don't want to, but just think of it this way. These two points are the only negatives I can find about Stardew Valley, the rest is just magnificent.

    Ahh, Stardew Valley. A gem that has been on the Switch bestselling list for a while. What can I say? It's great. The characters feel charming and memorable, it's incredibly fun, great graphics, and soothing music. Sorry to say, I can't really explain why it's so good. But I will say:

    Yes it is a great game, i liked it for a long time but kinda got bored because it's pretty repetitive, but how farther i got how more fun it becomes.

    The only thing that stops me giving this a 10 is that I do not consider this an absolute jaw dropping masterpiece, but it’s pretty damn close.

    The only game I bought full price on the Switch is also the only game I have 100 plus hours of gameplay on the system.

    Stardew Valley is one of the best games in the Eshop right now and it is because of the sheer variety of what you can do in the game. Personally I haven’t stopped since I first got it from the eshop. The game is just so damn addicting. I would highly recommend this game to anyone.

    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.
