Really makes you lose track of time.

Love this game

Personally, I've put off stardew valley for a long time, mainly due to the fact that new games keep appearing and I never got the downtime to try it, but upon now playing it, I must say I wish I got into it earlier. While writing this, I'm currently into what most would consider the end game of stardew, with everything unlocked and just getting money for a few endgame items. I intend to do a second run as it is required to get all achievements for this game and I do quite enjoy it and want to continue playing. Now to the actual review, while most people would consider stardew valley a farming simulator, I wouldn't really say so, the reason being that my entire first 2 years of stardew valley(in game years) had minimal farming. Instead I would say its more of an RPG. It has all the essential elements of an RPG, such as levelling skills, different "routes" you could take, NPC quest, unlockables, a story(ish), etc. Without going into too much spoilers, there are essentially 5 "main routes" you can take your character, combat, mining, farming, foraging and fishing. Each of these are a solid choice to start off and there are even certain farm types(a choice u make at the start) that complement certain classes. That being said, you will eventually be able to level up all of them, it just depends on which you focus on first. In my honest opinion, Stardew felt quite overwhelming at the start, being given too much freedom is often a double-edged sword, and I think stardew is one of the games that suffer from this. This was my second attempt at picking stardew up, and since then I've had a policy of forcing myself through the game awhile before deciding to drop it, and I'm really glad I did, because once the gameplay loop started to make more sense to me, it all clicked. There's nothing that you NEED to do, theres nothing that is on a strict time limit(except for the reoccuring daily and weekly quest), so there really is no rush, and I feel thats the best part about this game, you can take your time and do whatever you want with it, you can choose to optimize fully or just make things look pretty, the choice is yours. I'm starting to yap abit too much so i'll stop it here. Overall, great game, loved my time playing it, would definitely recommend. Performance 9.5/10 (had some random freezes in skull cavern) Story 8/10 (not the main focus of the game but does it's job) Gameplay 10/10 (definitely fun for its genre) Music 10/10 (always found myself vibing to it) Personal enjoyment 9.5/10

Best cozy game, and i don't even play it that much, i spend all my time modding it. Love my husband Sebastian! Love love love :3
