Stardew Valley

The game quickly gets you with its living NPCs, diverse quests and freedom in development of your "empire". But in the late game it turns too much into grinding more resources to get the achievements, so that's -1 star.

I was surprised to see a Harvest Moon clone on the PC. Iwas delighted by the game but the more I play it my feeling is that where the game exceeds Harvest Moon FOMT in breadth it lacks depth. People criticise some of the graphical choices. Some of those criticisms stand and have been fixed by an immensity of mods. Rather than superficial improvements the devs should look at what modders have changed and make some changes standard. Most annoying for me is one reaches a certain plateau of 'can I be bothered?' I managed to put my finger on why this is: the character interractions are functional rather than immersive. I dislike the term 'sandbox' but given that there is no real ending, the mistakes one makes on the way are quite irrelevant. Why can't you see the fish in the ponds and thus waste time waiting for them? Could the devs concieve of a sequel that is focuses on depth and choices instead of quantity? Grammar note: I am sharing my RATING, not my 'rate'. They are two different words.

I play this game on and off and everytime I return it's better. 10/10

I really like it, most recomanded

Best little farming game I ever played
