Playing this with a high end rig has been great. Performace was great, it only every dropped frames twice in my whole playthrough. Graphically its beautiful, though that's not saying much at this point in gaming. Gameplay wise it was loads of fun, really responsive and handled well. Plot is great though the ending isn't really effected by anything you've done all game. Mostly bug free for me. The only things I had were really noticable crowd and traffic spawning/despawning. For the crowds it's a little distracting for the traffic it's pretty funny for cars to start flipping out for no reason; it didn't happen often but it's not something you can really miss. Other than that I kept having a subtitle reappear constantly. Nothing that effected the gameplay but an annoyance. It could do with some quality of life stuff. Rebinding keys is a must. Double press Alt to holster weapon...? Crouching and skip dialogue both on C...? A way to respec attribute points would also be nice. All in all, I would likely call this my GotY. Everything about it is so well put together with so much detail. It's just a shame that if you're on lesser hardware you'll likely run into problems.
I played this when it first came out and again recently. In total I've just ticked over a hundred hours in this game. All in all I've had a really good time with it there are just a few problems that could be fixed. The game can feel a little overwhelming to begin with as there are so many things to do it can feel like you're spinning plates but once you realise there are no time restrictions in the game you can take things at your own pace. Originally the game could get slow at points but with the introduction of the free dlc it manages to deal with most of the repetitive issues. Though the dlc does seem to introduce some performance problems when you have a fair number of 'helpers.' Also the end game still doesn't feel very fleshed out, you can even unlock items that do literally nothing. Which was there when the game first came out so... they've added to the game but not really fixed the errors in the game. For the price I can say it's well worth the money if you like games in the Stardew genre. The dark sense of humor and referential comedy just add to the whole thing. Though that could be hit or miss for some people.
