Anyone got their hands on this game yet? I'm seriously enamored by this game, it's fucking amazing. I almost felt inclined to give it the "Best game of the last decade" award in the review I'm making, but then I decided that still belongs to Witcher III.

I picked up this game on Steam as fodder for a video I was making, and I got completely hooked. Since I've smashed almost 100 hours on it. The best of Harvest Moon, the best of Animal Crossing, the best of every farming and SoL game you've ever played.

Anyone else picked this up? What are your thoughts on this game?

Also, if you haven't given it a shot yet, I recommend you really do, it's fucking great.

I've thought about getting (it's on my wishlist right now), though I've never played Harvest Moon or any similar games before, so Stardew Valley would probably be a new kind of experience for me. It looks pretty cool from what I've seen.

Played it for 40 h . Its really addictive and really nicely made tho the biggest minus is the lack of good music p.p I hope they gonna do an update soon since if you got a lit of money and everything maxed out it gets boring D:

I love it, played it quite a lot already before *cough* buying it through steam. Now I own it on steam as well but didn't play much on the new character.
I really like how it doesn't spoonfeed you with information and you gain more knowledge of everything as you explore it yourself, alternatively if you feel like it you can look up everything as well (but that takes away the fun of it for me:p).
Anyway, it's very addicting and I highly recommend it :) Also, have to add that I didn't play any of the harvest moon games yet, so can't say anything about that (yet)...

Been meaning to get it as I've really enjoyed most titles in the Harvest Moon franchise.

Never played Harvest Moon, but I'm a big fan of Animal Crossing and this game strikes that itch for me.

I've only gotten to Summer of Year 1 so far, as I try to put the game off as much as possible since thinking "I'll just play a couple in-game days!" easily turns into an unintended six hours of gameplay.

P.S. Penny is best waifu.

I played a little bit of Harvest Moon back in the day and Stardew Valley does interest me a good bit. From what I've seen, it's been getting a ton of positive feedback as well. I'll probably pick it up on steam soon.

The only mods I'm using is the one that makes the fishing a little bit easier. Nothing more. Also I don't appreciate you accusing me of using that CJB cheats menu, is that really hard to believe someone in year 5 to have almost 7 million earnings? You made a thread saying how good the game is and then you go and be antagonistic to someone who's just showing his love for the game. The fuck are you on about kid?

I would leave it at that if it weren't for the 30 chara count, but I couldn't pass up that opportunity, protip though bud, it's not worth getting angry over a game. : )

Best game 2016 so far. Buy the game guys and support the developer. He really deserves it. The community is great and the creator is always helping out people by releasing new patches and making the game better.

One more thing, don't watch other people playing, it will really spoil all the fun. Play by yourself and explore everything this beautiful game has to offer.

I have to agree with this, besides the fact that I played 60 hours and lost my save file to corruption. I've since started again, and enjoyed it to the same extent.

Can you explain to me what a "meme game" is? From what I can understand, it sounds as if it requires some sort of context or predisposed knowledge to fully appreciate. Of which Stardew Valley doesn't. I never played any of the harvest moon games, and I had no knowledge of similar titles until now. But I had an absolute blast playing it, and have to agree that it's one of the most addicting games I've played.

I also bought it after pirating it, after reading up about the sole (!) developer who literally did everything from art, programming to music and his incredibly humbling AMA. Truly a developer that deserves the praise and success he gets.

Sorry, it doesn't actually mean anything. There have been some other popular indie games release in near years that were referred to as "meme" games, and I believe the person I replied to was one of the people who called a game that and so I just replied with that in a bit of saltiness.

Stardew Valley is really cool looking game, reminiscient of games like Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, which are really great, so I adore it, personally. Don't think anything of that "meme" comment I made. Its nothing.

Beyond having a town you interact with? Not really.

Animal Crossing has no failure states. Its pretty much no different from social clickers, except with some quality.

You can actually lose in Stardew Valley. And you actually need to play and do things beyond just logging in once or twice a day to interact with some characters.

You should! It’s one of my favourite games. It has some of the best farming and sandbox mechanics in a game I’ve played, as well as crafting a beautiful atmosphere. The major cons are that the characters are a bit bland and the combat isn’t interesting.

If you want to try a similar game then I recommend Rune Factory 4. Its characters are fantastic and it has a really enjoyable crafting and combat system. The main downsides is that its atmosphere isn’t that superb and it can be very grindy.

Another game I recommend is Harvest Moon Animal Parade. It doesn’t have any combat, but it does have a really good balance between having great characters and interesting farming mechanics.

The game is really addictive and is worth being played. If I'm not mistaken it was developed by one person who also wrote the soundtrack to the game (correct me if I am wrong).
