Stardew Valley is a 2016 farm life simulation video game developed by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone. Players take the role of a character who inherits their deceased grandfather's dilapidated farm in a place known as "Stardew Valley". The game is open-ended, with players managing the farm by clearing land, growing seasonal crops, and raising animals. Players can build skills in farming, foraging, fishing, mining, and combat. Social features include building relationships with townspeople, with the option to marry and have up to two children. A later update added multiplayer, allowing online play with others.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Cute little game about building a farm, living life, and gradually dating everyboy in town.
I can't stop playing this game. And now I need someone who wants to play with me for hours. I spend around 6 hours in Stardew Valley, no kidding. Even though I haven't played it since I know its existence. People used to recommended me Stardew Valley for years and now I finally tried this game. People were right, it's never too late to give it an opportunity.
I love, love, love this game- have loved it since release and will continue to love it for as long as I breathe. I never hesitate to purchase a new copy when I adopt a new gaming platform- when I was thru-hiking on the Appalachian Trail I would play this offline in hostels and in town stops on my phone, and fear I will never tire of it. Despite having sunk (across varying platforms, what I assume to be) 1500+ hours into this masterpiece, I have not yet reached perfection- I am in no rush at all, and am a little sad that I am nearly there now- however, with the new update coming later this year, I have no worries or hesitations at all when it comes to beginning a new farm and starting the journey from the beginning once more. Absolutely recommend, my all-time favorite RPG, and I am always filled with so much joy and absolute enthusiasm when it comes to future updates. May be the perfect game.
