    Stardew Valley immediately puts you into this immersive world and gives you the wheel. You can do whatever you want almost immediately, and meeting the townspeople adds to this immersion. The relationships that you can create are incredible, and truly make you feel one with the community.

But I fell so much in love with the world and Pelican Town, that I still haven't gotten around to this by year 3. There is never a requirement to do a certain thing, except for on holidays, where you gather with the community and just have fun hanging out. This game is so immersive and simple.… Expand

    Stardew Valley é um jogo relaxante e extremamente divertido. A variedade de atividades para realizar mantém o jogador preso à tela e torna esse um dos jogos mais viciantes dos últimos anos. Merece ser jogado por qualquer pessoa que tenha acesso a ele, principalmente considerando o seu preço atual.

    I absolutely love this game. My favorite of all time. The PC version is much superior to all other versions, considering the fact that it gets the newest updates months before all other systems, but what's great about the Switch version is that it's portable.

    You may be saying "Well, with the iOS version coming out next week at a cheaper price with 1.3 included, what's the point of buying the Switch version?"
    And to that I say:
    Well, when 1.3 DOES come to Switch, which will happen before all other consoles, it will include multiplayer. iOS won't.
    What I'm saying is that with the Switch version, you could go out to a party and play some Stardew Valley with some people. Now, I'll agree that Stardew Valley isn't the best party game out there, but hey, at least there's crossplay with Xbox One.    … Expand

    The highlight in the farming game genre. Fun with hundreds of hours that can be spent learning about the characters in the game, making your farm better and better, and adventuring in the caves. It's the best combination of relaxing after a bad day at work and satisfactory progress in the town of the game. The game is really deserving of this score and your time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every day the walls seem to get a little closer. Did they move the desks in the office last night?

    ....

    Your grandfather gave you a sealed envelope when you were young.

    Old guy said don't open it until you need to.

    ...

    Today's the day.

    Hey look, the old guy left you the farm. After he bought the farm. Sweet. Imma get some hoe time.

    Stardew Valley is the happiest little bubble universe you've ever landed in. Live the dream as you get a house and a ridiculous amount of land for free. You're immortal - you don't need to eat. If you die, you may lose some items to scavengers and scallywags. It may even cost you a tiny percentage of your wealth. But you will awaken safe and sound to nothing more than a little note in your mailbox explaining what miracle of cooincidence the universe needed to provide for you to LIVE.

    So, you don't need to eat and you can't die. And if you play long enough, you'll realize you don't age either.

    So what can you do? Make the land awesome. Grow stuff. Chop stuff. Milk stuff. Sell stuff. Eat stuff. Hit stuff. Dig stuff. Gather stuff. Kill stuff. Well no, you do that elsewhere.

    Meet all the cool people in town and learn their routines so you can show up before they do - when you choose one of the eligible marriage candidates and want to focus your efforts you will channel Bill Murray's Groundhog Day as you learn where they will be on which day... and be waiting for them. it's not creepy, it's romantic!

    Manipulate them through gift giving to love you like a dearest friend and share their innermost secrets with you. They'll also give you free stuff.

    Enslave animals to produce raw goods you can refine into more fattening ones to sell in your magic shipping box! Keep them locked in their quarters or allow them to roam free about the farm so that you can touch them as you pass. For you see, these animals respond to affection well.

    I particularly enjoyed the fact the game allowed me to choose if I wanted my animals to freeze over the winter or not. Once they love you enough the cold doesn't do enough to really affect their production, so you can save money on heating.

    Vegetable piracy is another great feature. You can purchase your seeds from the shop in town (ASSUMING IT ISN'T WEDNESDAY BECAUSE GOD FORBID HE'S EVER OPEN ON A WEDNESDAY) and grow them to term. Then you can use a machine to turn them into more seeds. Grow yer own!

    You do really get to know the villagers over time as you play the game, and that's what endears this game to me. They've been updating content constantly since I've been playing it to add new encounters, seeds, wacky stuff and new places to explore. It's a solid game on all platforms and the only thing that keeps it from 10/10 is no interplatform coop. I hope one day they find a way.

    One thing to note is you can port from PC to some of the mobile versions, and it's pretty cheap so we own it on a few different systems.

    Buy the farm, be happy. Chill out.    … 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!

    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

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.

    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.

    This game is simply an amazing achievement of game development by one person. One person made this game! If you even loved Harvest Moon as a kid then you are going to love this game. You can even play with other people! Thanks for making this game. It is amazing. I love it.

    Stardew Valley will find you when you need it the most. Relaxing as hell and really just an amazing experience to play. 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. Experience things as the game sends them at you

I was often stressed at the beginning because it felt like an in-game day is not long enough and the villagers were hard to find (whenever I looked for a specific one). After a short break I reminded myself that it was supposed to be played casually, and the game was really great and addictive after that.    … Expand

    Going into the game I wasn't expecting much at first since the idea of playing a farming game sounded quite dull to me. I bought the game anyways since I had heard a lot of positive feedback about Stardew and was curious. Completely to my surprise however, it was a great experience. Fantastic soundtracks, charming interactions with NPCs, and just a really fun and relaxing game.

    Have never spent so much time playing a game in my life. Escapism at its core, this farm sim begs for more of your time. Literally my only gripe is with the mini games you find in one of the towns houses - it’s too damn hard. Literally perfect game.

    Stardew Valley is a farming sim with combat (venture into the mines) and relationships (befriend the citizens of the valley and even marry!). Honestly everyone knows how great Stardew Valley is, so i'll list what I think makes this game so great, even many years later:

    - memorable characters and npc's - variety in activities (i'm not only tied to    Stardew Valley is a farming sim with combat (venture into the mines) and relationships (befriend the citizens of the valley and even marry!).

    This is a masterpiece an a very magical game. Hundred times better than Animal Crossing an thats a decent game. This is game every gamer should experience, it’s a game I would think about in my head but never have the skills to bring It to life. Is it just a game or a way of life ? That is the question. It’s in my top 5 games all time. An I’m giving nothing away just buy it’s quality

    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!

    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

    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.
