Stardew Valley

... if you don't play with 6 year old son who will destroy anything that he can.... That guy... And then he cries when I steal his things LOL Very good game. 6/5

It's great relax after some hard or bloody games ... Addicted but good JRPG/SIM farm

I played several hundred hours modded and vanilla. The game is cosy and relaxing, at least for the most parts, there are a few exeptions, but you have no set end, so you can take your sweet time although the day length is set. It can get very grindy if you try to 100% it, but you can also just enjoy farming, socialising and exploring.

I love all kind of building games. Stardew Valley looked interesting and I gave it a try. Played on PC with 1080x1920 it is _very_ "pixel", but since I decided not to stress about pixel graphics anymore I am ok with that look. Actually I find it quite charming - but that`s even the best i can say about this game. I mean ... how complicated do you want to make it to open a door or iniciate dialogue? Why do I have to _aim_ for this? The rmb never worked so I used the keyboard, but neither then standig in front of the door and pushing the button always worked. I had to move a bit or approach again until I finally was allowed into my house. Why would I like to do this? Every f* time. Other thing: What meaning do the things have I encounter on my way through the village? What about this ruined building? It´s mine, what can I do with it? How to catch fish? What about the cave where there is nothing to do and nothing to see? What kind of hut is this? - there is zero information. And more: Where can I store my stash? I can´t drop it, obviously, as it zooms back into the inventory as soon as I move the character - but what exactly happens when I give it to the crate? It disappears, yes, but where and why? How many of the 28 inhabitants do I have to listen to multiple times to find out, pushing buttons to no avail? Beeing nailed to the ground clicking away texts? Do I really have to browse the net only to find out how to do the simplest things in such a simple looking game? A soft survival game in pixel graphics - including millions of repetitions of the same thing - is ok as such, but this feels just too clumsy to be fun. May be there really _is_ a reason to be so excited about it, but in this case I didn`t find it.

yep
