Stardew Valley Reviews

This game feels endlessly playable, there's always something new to discover! It's so much more than just a farming game, but you can definitely choose to just farm if that's your thing, as you kind of choose your own adventure. I'd say this is probably one of the most satisfying games available to play, it is the perfect balance of relaxing and engaging. Beautiful!

This game is taking away the ability to think from me, I spend more time on the wiki than on normal life activities like eating, going to the bathroom and everything else that other people do. I am also suffering from strong disorientation, memory loss, and urinary tract infection.

calming, fun, and completely your own adventure

It's a nice, relaxing game that keeps you playing for a long time. It's visually appealing and easy to play. There are many interesting things to explore. Although you often need to use guides, but it's not a big deal. love emo boy <3

Honestly ive played it back in 2019 on mobile and when i got my pc i bought it on here too. It is just an amazing game and one i felt bad playing it pirated so i bought it on steam and gog. Its music along with MODS like seriously you should use the stardew valley expanded mod it just feels like stardew valley 1.7 ngl besides mods the game is just a 10/10 worth it indie game at a fait price unlike the aaa garbage thats overpriced huge W for concernedape we need more passionate game devs like him :)

Best co-op farming game out there and is not even close

A Cozy Escape for Two Playing Stardew Valley with my boyfriend has been one of the most unexpectedly wonderful experiences we’ve shared together. What started as a simple farming game turned into hours of laughter, teamwork, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. From building our dream farm together to running through the mines with him by my side (me usually running from monsters while he bravely fought them off), every moment in the game felt like a little adventure. We picked crops, raised animals, and even argued (lovingly!) over how to organise the chests—somehow, even that was fun. The best part? Watching our virtual farm grow felt like watching a part of our relationship grow too. We celebrated our first in-game festival together, planted our favourite crops side by side, and even got married in-game (who says digital rings don’t count?). Stardew Valley has this quiet charm that makes you want to slow down, breathe, and appreciate the little things—and doing that with someone you love makes it even better. It’s more than a game; it’s a cozy little world we built together. If you’re looking for something sweet to share with your partner, this game is a perfect choice. Just be warned: you might start arguing over whose turn it is to water the crops

Best game ever, I love it! Lots of replayability, and although I had a hard time learning the fishing game, I did get the hang of it eventually! Love the artwork.

Are you awake now? You seemed to have a nightmare just now. You were talking about all sorts of things like postgraduate entrance exams, work, compensatory rest days, and job interviews. Did you accidentally eat some tree sap? Get some good rest. Tomorrow, don’t go to plant hops and brew beer. Instead, take a tear crystal to Sebastian and invite Sam and Abigail to have a picnic in the Secret Woods. Oh, and don’t forget to fill the cat’s bowl with water before you go out. Life would be so much better if it were like Stardew Valley.

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 206: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10) It’s hard to overstate how magical [i]Stardew Valley[/i] really is. It starts as a simple farming game, but quickly blossoms into one of the most emotionally rich, comforting, and addictively satisfying games ever made. Whether you’re fishing at 8 a.m. in a pixelated fog, giving someone their favorite birthday gift, or just planting beans while rain taps gently in the background, [i]Stardew [/i]has this almost sacred ability to slow time down and remind you that life can be soft, quiet, and meaningful. It’s not just a farming sim. It’s a place you live in. A place you return to when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or just need a little joy. And it was made by one person. That still blows my mind. 🌱 [b]Pros:[/b] [list] [*] A slow, beautiful life on your terms. Whether you want to farm, fish, mine, romance, decorate, or just walk around petting your animals, [i]Stardew [/i]lets you play at your own pace. There’s no pressure. You can optimize for gold and rare crops, or you can just vibe and grow turnips while chatting with Shane about how bad life used to be. It’s your little world. [*] One of the best farming loops ever created. There’s something endlessly satisfying about planting seeds, watering them, harvesting them, then reinvesting in even more complex crops or artisan goods. The loop is tight, clean, and deeply rewarding. It scratches that perfect simulation itch. [*] A cast of characters that feel real. The people of Pelican Town aren’t perfect. Some are prickly, some are shy, some are struggling. And over time, you see them change. You hear their pasts, uncover their trauma, celebrate their birthdays, and maybe even fall in love. Even characters I disliked at first grew on me, because they’re written like real people, not just game mechanics. [*] Gorgeous pixel art and serene music. The visuals are simple, but warm and expressive. Every season has its own palette and charm. And the soundtrack? It’s iconic. Peaceful, nostalgic, and instantly grounding. Every track feels like a warm mug of something sweet. [*] The best version of “daily tasks” you’ll ever find. Watering plants, checking the coop, upgrading tools, remembering villagers’ schedules—it sounds like work, but it feels like love. The rhythm of a [i]Stardew [/i]day is cozy, not stressful. You do what you can. You go to bed when you're ready. It’s a reminder that routine can be a gift, not a grind. [*] Freedom to play however you want. There’s no "wrong" way to play. Want to marry Emily and become a wine magnate? Go for it. Want to live alone, max out the Community Center, and raise cows? You’re valid. Want to spend five in-game years just fishing and watching the leaves fall? That’s living, baby. [*] Mines, combat, and mysteries. Beyond the surface-level farming sim is a full-on dungeon crawler with weapons, gear upgrades, and secrets to uncover. [*] Incredible post-launch support. ConcernedApe has continued to update the game for free for years. New festivals, dialogue, late-game systems, and even co-op? He didn’t have to do that, but he did, and it shows how much love is poured into this game. [*] It’s multiplayer now—and still feels magical. Whether you're building a farm with your partner, tending animals with friends, or just running around gifting villagers together, multiplayer doesn’t break the game’s peaceful energy. It amplifies it. [*] It stays with you. Long after you put it down, you’ll remember your favorite spouse, your cat’s name, the layout of your first farm, or that one perfect autumn day when you found a prismatic shard and felt like a god. [/list] 💔 [b]Cons:[/b] [list] [*] Lol. Imagine thinking [i]Stardew Valley[/i] has cons. (Okay fine: some people don’t like real-time energy systems or pixel graphics, and that’s valid—but it’s not the game's fault fault you don’t like comfort.) [/list]
