Stardew Valley

I have played more than 2000 hours over more than 20 save files. There are so many ways to play, min-max, chill, set challenges. I love it! Eric Barone is a genius.

Stardew Valley had me instantly hooked from the moment I started. The charming pixel art, relaxing music, and endless possibilities drew me in, and I’ve now racked up 129 hours of gameplay with no sign of slowing down. From building up my farm and making friends in town to exploring the mines and tackling seasonal tasks, every part of the game has been thoroughly enjoyable. There’s a perfect blend of relaxation and progression that keeps me coming back, and each in-game day feels fresh and rewarding. Stardew Valley is more than just a farming simulator; it’s an incredibly satisfying escape that’s easy to dive into but hard to put down.

You probably already heard this. This is a cozy farming/life sim game, in which you settle down in a small town to tend a farm inherited from your uncle. Apart from farming, there's fishing, getting to know the townspeople, cave delving and likely a lot of other things to while away your days. Just, relax, take it one day at a time and enjoy the serenity. Beautiful pixel art. Tranquil music and a generally laid back atmosphere with a couple of mysteries to pursue, should you wish to do so. This is a great little time sink for when your life is too hectic, just unwind a bit and relax.

It's relaxing, varries, has gotten many substantial free content updates. Highly recommend. By a few copies. Support the (once) solo developer!
