Stardew Valley

I LOVE this game! It's perfect in so many ways and one of my favourite games out there. It honestly took me a bit to get into it, because you have a lot of work to do to substain yourself in the first year, but it was worth it and it only gets better. I also love, that the townies got new winter outfits last patch and I hope they will get a outfit for every season someday. I really adore little details like that and the game has so many of them, you really notice it's made with love and passion! Thank you so much ConcernedApe!!

And thank you for creating my fav boy Sebastian, oh my god, I am so in love! q(≧▽≦q)

Its a very casual game wihich is perfect for a person who wants to relax and play a video game that won't get you more stressed after 8 hours of work.

I dont have a whole lot of time in this game yet. but i will say its great so far. and its really relatable to how real life is if you're a man living in the united states when you really think about it. You find ways to make money just to wind up spending it on things you don't really need, you do all the yard work by yourself. People are constantly bothering you if you can do this thing or that thing for them, the only way you can make any real friends is if you buy them stuff all the time, and you will eventually wind up getting married where you end up with a sex deprived relationship with your wife, and the before mentioned friends say about one to two sentences when you talk to them because youre not worth their time for a longer conversation.

Really is a lot deeper of a game than first meets the eyes. Solid 10/10 American male simulation game.

Stardew Valley is like a vacation, but instead of a beach, you get a farm overrun with weeds and some dilapidated buildings. You inherit this farm from your grandfather (who apparently thought "farming" was a hobby), and now it's up to you to turn it into something that isn’t a total disaster. Plant crops, take care of animals, and figure out if it's worth watering those tomatoes or just chilling with a cup of tea on the porch.
The graphics? Not groundbreaking, but they're charming in a nostalgic, "this feels cozy" kind of way. There are no annoying cars, no neighbors complaining about your trash, and no bosses demanding you stay late. Just a peaceful world with some crops, a few chickens that couldn't care less about your life, and a general vibe of "yeah, this is the world I want to live in."
But don't think Stardew Valley is just about farming. No, no — if you're ever tired of watering plants and picking vegetables, you can always head to the mines and fight off some weird rock monsters. It's like a local amusement park, except the rollercoaster is a pickaxe and the thrill comes from dodging giant bugs and collecting rare ores.
Not feeling the mines? No problem! You can hang out with the locals, who are as quirky as the landscape. There’s always someone to chat with, or even romance if you’re feeling bold (don’t worry, the game doesn't judge). Sure, you won’t be hitting the city for dinner anytime soon, but you’ll have a farm full of animals and a bunch of new friendships.
In short, Stardew Valley is the perfect game to relax and forget about the real world. There are no deadlines, no stress, just you, your farm, and a bunch of activities where you can be the best farmer around. And if you want a little action, you can always visit the mines and get lost fighting monsters. Or, you know, just remember to water your plants once in a while.
Perfect for when life’s got you down and all you want is some dirt under your nails and a little peace in the virtual countryside. Plus, it's got a wholesome vibe that even the busiest of "I need my coffee" people can appreciate.

10 Hayleys out of 10

To say this was a journey is an understatement. Without a doubt, the best 100% I have completed so far.

This is the best. 10 out of 10. it is super relaxing and fun. there is lots and lots of new things to explore! I like the mine the most, mostly when with family. it seems this game is really popular. 5/5 stars.

As a long-time fan of the Harvest Moon series growing up, I was surprised it took me so long to come around to playing Stardew, but I couldn't put the game down once I had. The game absolutely OOZES with charm and is a wonderful game to either relax and turn your brain off to or boot up when you want to lock-in and absolutely plan/organize your farming empire.

The farming mechanics are fun and easy to pick up as well as the surprising, but fun, inclusion of combat once you start to delve into the mines!

The graphics are charming and vibrant with an equally vibrant cast of npcs! Characters to befriend, romance, and experience the different seasons and see the community grow as you stay in Pelican Town.

I also can't gush enough about my love and appreciate for the dev for the hard work they put into this game as well as the countless free updates and content. It's rare to see now a days and it's so heartwarming to continue to get to enjoy such quality work.

Not only is the vanilla game spectacular, but the mod community is also a joy! Super easy to set up and enhance your experience!

This game has taken a strain on my soul. I have had nightmares about not having enough rhubarb planted. if you can play and not care about 100%. It is a amazing chill game. If you have the 100% itch. Don't play. Avoid this game. Run from this game.

rly fun game love the characters and their stories

A relax game that keeps on giving. This is a game i always come back to after awhile and recommend for everyone

A fun cosy game. Lots of different things to do and skills to gain. Lovable cast of characters. Cute graphics. Run your own farm (including pets and livestock), befriend villagers, romance a special someone and unlock the secrets of the valley. 🐸🦋🧺🍉🌻🍄🌿💖

wow, what can I say that hasn’t already been said. At first I was just a dude that didn’t think Stardew Valley would be for me but then my girlfriend bought it on the Steam spring sale and I decided to give it a try with her. Turns out this is one of the best games iv ever played! Stardew Valley is an absolute gem, and playing it with my girlfriend has made the experience even more memorable. The game’s charm lies in its simplicity, but it offers endless possibilities, especially when you’re sharing it with someone special. From tending to the farm, raising animals, and growing crops, to exploring caves and participating in town events, there’s always something fun to do together.

The perfect balance of routine and free spirit creativity. There are so many options on what to do in this game, I never find myself getting bored. From the big game milestones like finishing the community centre and reaching the bottom of the skull cavern, to the little side quests and other favours you lend to the citizens of the valley - you always somehow get an item you need that progresses you more in some sort of way, which is rewarding and keeps you playing.
I've played Stardew across a couple platforms, and each time I get to enjoy it over and over again.
Love this game!

its like if dark souls was a top down 2d farming simulator without anything to do with dark souls. 10/10 would recommend

My boyfriend bought me this game for my birthday around the time we started dating. I am very picky with games so when he kept trying to tell me that I'll like it, I honestly didn't believe him.

He's right, though. He's always right about what games I'll like...

Every once in a while i find myself playing this nearly every day after work. i get home and i already have like 5 stardew wiki pages open. although I do tend to get a little bored after completing the community center and then i just start another save....

But! I am trying to 100% the game, so wish me luck :)

im obsessing over this game like crazy, there was something put in this game that makes me unable to stop i swear. i dont play alot of games on steam but dear god stardew valley is what i think about all day. the purity of this obsession i have going on is indescribable.

also harvey on top

Stardew Valley is hands down my favorite go-to game whenever I need to unwind or take a break from the more intense games I play. It’s my personal sanctuary. There’s something incredibly soothing about spending time on my little farm, whether I’m planting crops, tending to animals, or fishing in the peaceful rivers of Pelican Town. The game’s pace is slow and relaxing, which makes it the perfect escape when I’m tired or need to take a breather from fast-paced, action-packed games.

The beauty of Stardew Valley is how it allows me to play at my own pace. There's no pressure, no rush, just me and my farm. The music is calming, the artwork is simple yet charming, and the characters are warm and engaging, which makes it feel like a cozy escape every time I play.

It's also the kind of game where I can just get lost for hours, getting into a rhythm of watering plants, making progress with friendships, and exploring the caves at my own leisure. Whether I'm tending to my crops or decorating my house, I always feel like I'm accomplishing something, even if it's just small, peaceful tasks.

If you're looking for a game to help you relax and reset after a long day or a series of more intense gaming sessions, Stardew Valley is a perfect choice. It’s my ultimate chill game, and I always return to it when I need that sense of calm. It’s a game that truly offers a little bit of everything, and for me, it never gets old. If it ever does can just get mods and change just about everything in the game for a fresh experience.

Stardew Valley is a masterpiece of cozy, immersive gameplay, which offered me a charming escape into the countryside. The heart of the game lies in its deep, well written characters. Each villager has a unique personality, backstory, and daily routine, making Pelican Town feel truly alive. Through conversations, heart events, and festivals, you gradually form meaningful bonds with the townspeople.

Hello

I can say that Stardew Valley was one of the best farming games I've ever played

This game is more than a farming game, it's real life

Planting crops in different seasons is very interesting, as well as the rotation of seasons and...

Having animals is really beautiful and adds beauty to the game

The most interesting thing is that you can get married and have children (that's why I say it's more than a normal game)

Each character has their own story and some of them are really dark

You should definitely buy this game and play it

Just great. Wholesome, relaxing, and straight up fun. So much content, lore, so much to enjoy and explore. The rhyme is not intentional but I really recommend this. As does pretty much everyone else!!

This game is amazing but it makes you want to all of a sudden make your room a nature design and be productive which scares me but also you can annoy people in this game so of course its a amazing game

One of my most played games. I own it on several platforms so that I can play it with basically anyone, or play it basically anywhere. I keep coming back, even if there are months where I don't play it, because every time I start up a new farm with a new farmer, it gets its hooks in me and I can't even sleep without thinking about this game. I will probably play this game for a great many more years to come. Multiplayer is probably also the best thing to happen to Stardew. Cannot recommend this game enough (yes, even the fishing).

Too buggy on steamdeck. Incubator bug is still not patched.

It's a really nice game that's got a lot of different elements and never gets boring despite being just incredibly benevolent and wholesome

amazing love this game so much i wish it had more story since ive completed it many times and should add more marriage options and more heart events with all characters.

I never seem to be able to finish this game. I always find myself restarting my file.
All the events and characters are so diverse and cute, it's satisfying to get to know them as we play.
One thing I hate about this game is THE DAMN SKULL CAVERN (Bless you who made the skull cavern elevator mod)

Bonus point for all the modders out there, thank you for making my emo man Sebastian looks not so emo <3
I might spend the rest of my life playing stardew and restarting over and over again to marry all characters...
So excited :>

Always a different farm, a different layout, a different play style.. and always a great time! Every time I play, I feel like I'm learning and getting better. This is an excellent title to play alone or with friends.

This game is super fun, never truly feels repetitive. Probably the game I have most hours on aside from Minecraft or something on my Wii, like -- Mario Party 7, or something.

Characters are fun, the art is honestly really pretty. I love Krobus, and my dogs. Shallow enough for wiggle room, I wish there was more dialogue honestly. But it is still hype.

I will say, the wiki is your friend, it is super hard to really get what you need without actually knowing what to do. Don't be afraid to craft, I am, for some reason. Also, don't listen to 100% people who try to force you to maxmize in every way. Have fun unless you want to 100%.

Multiplayer sucks unless you have more than two players. That is also a thing.

I always loved playing Stardew Valley it never been boring I play it on every platform I really love this game and hope much more people get to knows it so they can enjoy it like I do

Game to escape the woes of modern capitalist society and join an actual community plus farm.

However after first year you try to min max profit and try to be as efficient as possible. The townfolk never see you as you're too busy tending to live stock and making starfruit wine. You are stuck in an endless loop of trying to increase your wealth and realize you're just another cog in the capitalist machine.

10/10 Would recommend. Worth the money.

Cozy vibes for casual gamers with a surprising amount of depth for the non-casual players; challenge comes in the form of uncovering secrets, mini games (like the fishing mechanic for legendary and rare fish), and scouring for rare materials to complete quests and longer in-game objectives. While the solo experience is fun, having at least 1 extra hand in a multiplayer game makes your days feel more productive. Easy to get sucked into for HOURS.

One of the BEST cozy games out there! No stress, can't really ever go wrong. Just a chill game where you have your own farm and complete tasks around the town. My favourite go-to comfy game to relax after a long day! Definitely reccommend! <3

Honestly, the best game in my library. Without question. I cannot recommend this game enough. Amazing sound track, fantastic story, wonderful gameplay, this game is as perfect as you can get.

This game is so addicting! Love the simple day to day farming, mining, spreading joy with the villagers. It's a hoot and a half all the way around!

The only game so far that has been constantly freezing my PC to the point of using the power button (can't even task manager when it happens). Also reported to happen to others across Steam Deck and also other consoles like XBOX One and Nintendo Switch.
Very sad because i supposed to recommend this game because of its comfiness and mod support

Stardew is a game I keep finding myself coming back to. The dev continues to deliver great, hefty updates full of new content to explore. And the mod-ability is practically endless.

Words cannot do this game justice, and this will likely be lost in the sea of recommendations, but if you want a quaint, fun, adorable little game to dump time into, look no further.

I love this game so much already. I've seen this game since it was launched but never thought of playing but my husband talk me into it. I thought it would be boring but oh god i was so wrong!. This is absolute gem!!!! 10/10

This game is great for to keep you on task and aim for a goal. 10/10. For sure a labor of love. Have played on Xbox, PC, phone. Amazing game. Looking forward to Haunted Chocolatier

Awesome game to sit back and become lost in. 1000000% recommend to anyone looking for a fun, immersive game that you can take all the time you want to play :)

Love the game, it is really fun to play for hours on end. It also isn't pushing you to progress so you can take your sweet time. Tho you can lose track of time pretty easily...[Played from 11 pm to 4 am once]

The best game ever

Can't believe you can gift a bomb to a Grandma and kid 10/10

A very pleasant game worth it's fame. Fun for both casual and turbo-nerd sweats like myself.

9/10, could be gayer. where's my nonbinary rep?

This game is great. I wish there was a quicksave option like mobile has. Life gets in the way and it sucks to lose progress when similar games such as story of seasons and the mobile version of this game have a quicksave option. Here's hoping it gets implemented for pc/steam deck. Thanks for all your hard work!

Brilliant. Brilliant.
I own this game across 4 platforms. Not including the board game. Played the most on xbox.
Top tier game. Magic. Wonderful. Stunning.

I clearly cant be bothered writing sentences.

Played this game on and off for months, always starting a new save. I now have a perfected save, 3 more achievements to complete, but I don't like the mini-game and for joja membership, maybe i'll pick it back up again in the future. Tons of fun but it does get repetitive later if you do not care for farm aesthetics. If you liked harvest moon back in gba then you'd surely love this one!

I love this game if you want chill, it has chill if you want more after going through the game the vast mods this game has on nexus or curesforge is another really good option to keep the game fresh and new

I found this game really enjoyable, but I don’t think I’ve played enough to give a proper review just yet. I’m kind of on the fence about it.

This game is top tier level cozy. The soundtrack is AMAZING. The new updates that was done are just as good as the original content. The story line, little quirks, combat, fishing, and exploration is all leveled appropriately. The further i get into the game the more i enjoy the game which says a lot to me. There was a lot of care that went into creating this game.
