I love the art style of Stardew Valley and this gamr captures it really well. This game clearly wears the Pokemon inspiration on it's sleeve, but that a side it doesn't try to out right copy the playstyle of Gyms, elite 4 and half assed sorry story to propel you along. The story in this game is actually pretty good. On par with Pokemon Black even. I highly recommend this game.
I fell in love with this game when I first played it. I hada clear inspiration from the Pokemon franchise, but a side from monster catching / battling. This game's story is well put together, the internal mechanic make it really conture to how you the player want to interact with the game. It has enough love and care put into it that it's literally one of my favorite daily games.
