Stardew Valley is a very special game to me. It was one of the first games I ever played on steam. It helped to ground and distract me when I was going through depression and rough patches in my life. I think the charm of the game is its simplicity, beautiful music, relationships with villagers and cute animals. You just seem to slip through time and forget your worries. I used to play with a special person who became my best friend and rock, but we have drifted apart and don't talk anymore. Sometimes, when I miss the memories, I visit our old save and reminisce about the past. Please hug, kiss and catch up with loved ones. Make the most out of the present. Overall, beautiful game. Please buy it.

Fun and peaceful game. It never gets boring with all the additions. I am 58 and have tried to play other games but often get stressed out but I feel quite calm and relaxed playing Stardew Valley, it is better than all the others! Thank you.

Stardew Valley feels like coming home. I can't remember which playthrough I'm on, which is a rarity for me. I've revisited childhood favorites like Zelda and Mario countless times, cherishing each experience. However, as an adult, this happens less frequently. Maybe it's because modern games don't resonate with me as deeply, or maybe my gaming habits have simply changed over time. Yet, whenever I boot up Stardew Valley, it hits all the right notes. Whether I've talked with the residents of Pelican Town dozens of times or played through its events repeatedly, the game retains its magical allure. It feels like a nostalgic return to childhood gaming, a comforting experience I can enjoy every time of the year. What's truly remarkable is the developer's commitment to continually expanding the game with substantial updates and expansions, all provided for free. Stardew Valley brims with passion and love. Despite its status as one of the most successful indie games of all time, the developer continues to pour his heart into it, enriching the experience for players. I deeply respect and appreciate this dedication, which unfortunately is no longer a given in today's gaming industry. And after all these years, I've finally reached the summit ā¤.

I play a lot of games you would call "rage inducing". I love the hack and slash thrill from DMC, the gore fest from Doom Eternal, the unbearable challenges of Souls-Like games. My wife introduced me to this game and its a game I didn't know I needed. I deal with a lot of anxiety and PTSD from my military service and other stressors in my life, but there's something about harvesting crops and petting your duck named "Howard" that just feels so relaxing. This game is an escape from the everyday stress and I can't recommend it enough. And it was developed by a one man army?! Like damn this man earned his flowers.

The fact that ConcernedApe is still creating new content for this incredible game more than 7 years later that will cost you nothing should be reason enough to celebrate this game. Top to bottom Stardew is a labor of love. I cannot overstate that this game is perhaps one of the greatest indie video games ever created. I will be playing this for years to come. 11/10 because a scale of 10 isn't big enough for Stardew Valley.
