Stardew Valley is a game that since its launch has needed no introduction. I just started playing it now, but I've heard so much about it and it has won so many awards that it is a milestone in the world of games. And it's not easy!
By the way, at the beginning, it's quite deceiving. When I finally decided to give this work of art a chance and started playing, I didn't see the point, it even annoyed me! "There's no way a meaningless little game, like a 2D copy of Minecraft, has won over so many people."
Oh, if I had only known... I was so wrong, so so wrong! Once the game gets you, you're done! Forget about your life! I don't want to spoil the experience, but there's so much to do, it's so cute, it's so cool, that you don't get bored and the hours just fly by.
And that's precisely why I'm uninstalling the game right now, because it's stopping me from trying out other games on my long list. If I don't, I fear the worst...
In fact, if you value your life, run away, RUN TO THE HILLS AND FORGET THIS GAME. But if your life is empty and meaningless, welcome, here is a meaning made just for it. Highly, highly recommended!
