More than just a cozy farming sim, eight years of updates have grown Stardew Valley into a modern classic with an endless list of enticing activities to complete and a deeply satisfying time management challenge to take on.

Stardew Valley is a rare experience that has a complex and effective reward system that keeps you saying to yourself “just one more day”. You can easily find yourself losing hours and hours that feel like minutes. You may develop an overwhelming urge to create spreadsheets and fill notebooks with observations, recipes, product values, and villagers’ favorite gifts. And it very well may be just what you didn’t know you needed.

The game pretty much builds on the fact that at the beginning you start with a tiny farm, on which you have only a few beds and you grow little until you get to a proper farm and also better equipment. This will take some time, but it will definitely be worth it. Most importantly, Stardew Valley offers incredible freedom and liberty - every day is up to you, and it's entirely up to you what activity you choose to do. You can choose to spend all day in the mine or in your garden, or just goofing around with the other NPCs in town and hanging out on the map. All of this makes Stardew Valley a game that kept me incredibly hooked and entertained for a few dozen hours, and if you get a friend to join you, trust me, the game will take another level up and be a lot more fun.

The world is charming, full of secrets, great storylines, and the gameplay systems all work very well together. The end result is a fantastic farm-life-sim that is incredibly hard to put down.

Stardew Valley is an excellent game that let me quietly relax and enjoyably lose myself in for hours on end.
