class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I decided to start game reviews on my blog, I knew my first review had to be on Stardew Valley, which is easily my favorite game of the past decade. With almost 1000 hours of gameplay across PC, mobile and Nintendo Switch, it\u2019s clear how much I enjoy this whimsical farming simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a Harvest Moon girlie growing up, but as the quality of newer titles declined over the years, I found myself no longer keeping up with releases. However, in 2014, I stumbled upon Stardew Valley on a developer\u2019s blog on tumblr and was enchanted by the pixel art showcasing an adorable character using a hoe to create a 3\u00d73 grid for planting spring crops on their farm! It was the farming simulator I\u2019d been waiting for to fill the void left in my heart by the Harvest Moon titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the next couple of years I would periodically check to see if a once-every-few-months-update was posted to ConcernedApe\u2019s developer blog.&nbsp; When the release date was announced, February 26th 2016, I decided this would also be the first day I started streaming on Twitch. Beautiful serendipity!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-1024x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-1024x550.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-1000x538.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-450x242.jpg 450w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early-780x419.jpg 780w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/stardew-early.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dev-stardew.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dev-stardew.png 757w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dev-stardew-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dev-stardew-450x423.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stardew Valley is like a warm hug from a friendly farmer, blending farming and RPGs into a whimsical wonderland.&nbsp;As soon as you begin playing, you\u2019ll find yourself completely immersed in the charming world of Pelican Town.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s a trend-setter! Dozens, if not hundreds, of cozy farming simulators have been launched following the wild success of Stardew Valley.&nbsp; This is the perfect game for those who love to take it slow and enjoy the simple things in life.&nbsp; It\u2019s also one of the first farming simulators I ever came across that allowed you to have a same-sex marriage!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game starts in a cottagecore fantasy escape sort of way: you\u2019re wasting away in a cubicle, a slave to a soulless corporation, when you find out that your Grandfather has passed away and left his run down farm to you! It\u2019s time to leave your capitalist hellscape behind and escape to the magical Stardew Valley, tucked in between lush mountains, where you will restore the farm to glory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s strange how in this overabundant, automated modern society so many of us fantasize and pine for returning to the honest struggle of working the land and earning our keep.&nbsp; To fall back into a natural routine and rhythm with seasonal cycles, plants and animals\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"368\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/evangelion-neon-genesis-evangelion.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2434\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things that makes Stardew Valley so comfy is the fact that it\u2019s a game you can easily get lost in for hours at a time. You\u2019ll find yourself tending to your crops, fishing in the nearby river, and chatting with the locals of Pelican Town. The pace of the game is slow and relaxing, even meditative, and it\u2019s the perfect way to unwind after a long day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can\u2019t do a review of Stardew Valley without talking about the customization options! I think this is one of the most beloved features: the ability to choose your character\u2019s appearance, as well as the layout and design of your farm. This allows you to create a truly unique and personalized experience that reflects your own personality and style.&nbsp; When we factor in mods, you can really get creative with how you express yourself in Stardew Valley.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/character-creation.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving on to the plot, our story is centered around returning to your Grandfather\u2019s farm, and working the land, restoring the buildings and eventually earning your Grandfather\u2019s blessing from the afterlife.\u00a0 You have 2 in-game years to do this, and if you play at an average pace without focusing on completionism, you\u2019ll see about 50-60 hours of solid gameplay from one playthrough of Stardew.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/letter.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2439\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/letter.png 708w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/letter-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/letter-450x252.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I rated the replay value so high on Stardew Valley, because once you reach the end of the 2nd year, it\u2019s easy to feel like \u201cI want to try again, but do it differently!\u201d This game features a variety of different skills you can level up over time, and as you progress, you\u2019ll be able to craft new items, cook delicious meals, and even fight monsters in the nearby mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your first playthrough you may focus on being the best animal rancher you can be, living on a farm that is full of&nbsp; happy cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, (dinosaurs??), and many other critters.&nbsp; But when you decide to start your second playthrough, you may want to focus on maxing out your money potentials by being a hardcore fisher, catching the little fishies all over the valley and selling them for a hefty profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, there are 12 eligible bachelors and bachelorettes to marry, so the dating sim aspect of the game may find you wishing for multiple playthroughs as you date around and find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71.webp 1000w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71-768x373.webp 768w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71-450x219.webp 450w, https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/dmibh8rpi2c71-780x379.webp 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span style=\"color: var(--global-palette2, var(--global-palette2));\" class=\"stk-highlight\">sincerely hoping all Shane-stans know that they don&#8217;t have to fix him \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s always something new to discover in Stardew Valley, and the game\u2019s open-ended nature means that you can play at your own pace and explore the world in your own way, and I think that makes this a powerful title to have in your library!&nbsp; Especially considering the game is only $15!! When you start exploring the possibility of modding your game, and the fact that multiplayer options were added in, the value of this game is WELL covered by that $15.&nbsp; Fans love this game so much that we practically beg the developer to let us pay him more, but instead he continues to give us free quality-of-life updates even as recently as 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Stardew Valley soundtrack is simply magical. Each track perfectly captures the essence of the game\u2019s cozy and whimsical world, from the peaceful ambiance of the morning theme to the playful melody of the festival music. The use of acoustic instruments such as the guitar, flute, and harp creates a warm and organic sound that perfectly complements the game\u2019s rural setting. The soundtrack also features some truly beautiful compositions that can stand alone as pieces of music, such as the hauntingly beautiful \u201cFall (The Smell of Mushroom)\u201d and the serene \u201cWinter (Nocturne of Ice)\u201d. There are dozens of Stardew Valley playlists on youtube, and even lofi remixes of the tracks for even more relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Playing Moonlight Jellies on my Grandpa&#039;s guitar\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nW0_o4aXsfk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yes, this is the developer of SDV aesthetically playing some of the soundtrack on guitar&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gameplay at first glance can seem similar to the playstyle of Animal Crossing.. but there\u2019s a reason Animal Crossing never clicked for me.&nbsp; Animal Crossing has a limit to what you can achieve each Real Life day, at a certain point you might as well turn the game off and wait to check in with your villagers tomorrow.&nbsp; Stardew Valley (and Harvest Moon, for that matter), is a game that isn\u2019t effected by the Real Life passage of time, and you can binge it and play it at your own pace.&nbsp; I\u2019m not always able to play the same game for a little bit each day, but I have a weekend free where I can sit and play one game the whole weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/squirrel.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2443\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d also like to take a minute to point out one of the things that makes Stardew Valley so special is that it truly feels like a heartfelt work of art from one person\u2019s mind.\u00a0 A labor of love.\u00a0 There are so many tiny details that breathe life into the landscape of Stardew Valley and Pelican Town, and it\u2019s simply a delight exploring around and finding little touches of love here and there. For example, if you enter an area and walk near a squirrel, they will run up a nearby tree with a small chance of knocking a seed out of the tree which you can then pick up. This is such a cute effect that adds so much life to the environment, but is also a great example of \u201cshow, don\u2019t tell\u201d where the game is subtly teaching you that you can shake trees to knock foraging goods out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/heyshadylady.com\/staging\/2808\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/tumblr_c408c66fe68b3932663ee0576e792497_384bf35c_1280.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2480\" style=\"width:400px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To talk about one of my only major complaints about the game, though: It feels like the end game is a little lackluster.&nbsp; This is actually why I ended up rating the storyline a little lower as well, after the end of the 2nd year it just starts to feel like\u2026 you\u2019ve accomplished everything.&nbsp; Dialogue dies off, nothing new seems to happen, and it just feels like an endless loop with no rewards in sight, or reason to keep playing.&nbsp; I\u2019ve never found myself play longer than the summer of year 3, and I do wish that there was a more immersive and rewarding end-game experience.&nbsp; That being said, I\u2019m happy that the developer is working on new titles instead, because I\u2019d love to see what he can come up with next!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But really if we look at the complaint, all I\u2019m saying is\u2026. I WANT MORE!!!! It\u2019s so good, I don\u2019t want it to end\u00a0\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u00a0I\u2019m eternally grateful to ConcernedApe for making such an enchanting experience that has given me hundreds of hours of peace and relaxation in my life over the last several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">omg I didn\u2019t even get to dive into how magically loaded this game is yet\u2026 with a local Wizard, hidden forest spirits, talking bears, enchanted caves, magic fruits, and SO much more!! I could seriously brag about how wonderful this game is ALL DAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this review is starting to get a little long, so I\u2019ll end by encouraging you to pick up&nbsp;Stardew Valley if somehow you still haven\u2019t tried it out. It is an absolute gem of a game: cozy, relaxing, and a great way to unwind after a long day. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new way to relax, I highly recommend giving this game a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>almost a decade later,
