Stardew Valley

I fell in love with Stardew Valley on Mobile. Unfortunately, though it is the same game, the interface suffers immensely on PC. There is no option that I could for "click-to-move", which is what mobile users will be familiar with. Additionally, there is no "quicksave" option on Desktop, meaning you can't stop playing mid-day, and pick the game back up later. The only way to save your game is to complete a day by going to sleep. All save games always start at 6 AM. Sadly, because the mobile version seems to be stuck in limbo, with the developer having moved on to his next project, there is no version of Stardew Valley that is "complete". Mobile lacks version 1.5 support. Desktop lacks quicksave support and "click-to-move" support. I'm I tried it before I bought it. Not worth spending any more money on, at least until the developer decides to fix some of these glaring failures.

The game looks nice, but it has some serious problems to me. The character is sometimes awkward to control, the interface is archaic (things like missing tooltips or no confirmation popups on important descisions like deleting quests). There is barely any explanation on how to do anything for new players. And you can't save your game. The game merely makes auto-saves every 30 minutes or so. This is not some technical limitation, but apparently the developer not wanting people to "cheat" by saving the game manually. That's just a deal-breaker for me. This is the first game on gog that I will ever request a refund on. If none of this bothers you, you might find a decent game still, which is why I give 2 stars instead of 1.

Unwishlisted, won't even try. Boring and repetitive.

Mac OS Monterey on my laptop and it crashes on startup. I tried re-downloading twice. I have to use my Windows desktop. Apparently this has been a consistent problem with this game on Mac for a while and developers have yet to fix the issue. Earliest reports of this are over 2 years ago. I cannot recommend any video games from the company ConcernedApe, they do not seem too concerned with Mac compatibility but will advertise them as such.

The developer for this game does not release some patches for this version of the game. He didn't release versions 1.051 and 1.051b for GOG. Instead he waited over a week before giving us the fix. If you want a game that the developer neglects, buy this version. He said on reddit that he doesn't give GOG some patches. I love GOG, and will only buy GOG games, but I won't buy a game from this developer again.
