Synopsis
You've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!

With so many interconnected systems, from the farm simulation to simple combat and cooking to crafting, and each driving the others forward in some way, it’s a deeper and more complex game than you’d expect after the first day on the farm. There’s plenty to do while I wait to uncover more of the Valley’s secrets, and the prospect of filling my days with new adventures or just a better harvest is too enticing to pass up.

It isn't common that you encounter a game as charming and delightfully addictive as Stardew Valley. It finds a harmonious balance of progression, activities, and rewards resulting in each day being distinct and memorable. It's a triumph in indie game development, demonstrating that a single developer with tremendous heart can make something more meaningful and captivating than even the most prolific AAA studios.

Stardew Valley is an absolutely charming little gem about forgetting all your worries and relaxing on a farm. If you wished that Terraria had a proper story holding it up, or like Barone are dismayed that there hasn't been a good Harvest Moon game in forever, then Stardew Valley is for you.

Stardew Valley is definitely rough around the edges, but that didn't matter when I was fishing on a little pixelated pier, or making friends with a homeless person in a tent. Its imperfections never damage that feeling of gentle escape to the countryside. They never made me love my farm dog any less, or made me want to put down my hoe and return to the office. I might be a long way off getting an actual farm, but Stardew Valley makes for a good start.

After nearly 25 hours with the game, I was worn out but also deeply appreciative of my time in the valley. Turning off the game was almost like leaving a second, smaller home, one filled with fond memories and good people. Though some quirks might unnecessarily keep players at arm’s length, those willing to grapple with the more arcane aspects of Stardew Valley are in for a world of delight.

How you choose to build your community and relationships, and the power of a simple hello, said every day. Building a farm isn't just a physical task, but an emotional one, too. No simulation or game is an exact copy of what it’s trying to emulate, but Stardew Valley, above all, expertly explores the connection that someone can have with their environment, their work and the people around them.

I have been seriously charmed by Stardew Valley; there certainly isn’t much about it that I dislike. I like its subtle tactical elements and time management that thread through all of the activities you can do. It’s without a doubt currently my favourite game this year, and I feel it might take something pretty incredible to knock it off. There’s a few that could do that, but I’m grateful to already have a game I enjoy this much, and it’s only March!

Stardew Valley has a little bit of everything for everyone and does it all well. It's well-designed, well-polished, and encompasses everything I love about this style of game and more. A modern masterpiece in every way.

Stardew Valley would be a fantastic accomplishment for a team of any size, but the fact that it’s a labor of love from one man is staggering. My time with this game has only become more and more rewarding as I go on, and there’s still no end in sight. Like with any game, I’ll eventually set it down and move on, but I have no doubt that I will have strong, happy memories of Stardew Valley for years to come.

The sheer number of things to accomplish in Stardew Valley can keep you interested beyond the original three in-game years you need to reach the end of your story--you may just want to start over rather than continue on.

Stardew Valley is a game that keeps on giving. There is so much I haven't even explored yet that has my giddy for the future. The core mechanics and relaxing aesthetic merge so well together that players will sink in to the experience and never want to leave.

Stardew Valley is a beautiful, fun game that, when all of its parts are pulled together, make for a wonderful countryside adventure. Whether it’s rainy, sunny, snowy, or dusted with pollen drifts through the air, each day offers an abundance of great activities ready to be collected or mastered and new friendships waiting to be made.

Don't start this game if you value relationships, your job, your social life, and having free time. Stardew Valley will take all of that away from you, but it's okay because it's a great game!

It sounds very simple, and it is - in fact, it's the simplicity that makes the game work so well. Even though Stardew Valley merges many themes together, it has been done seamlessly, and without unnecessarily overcomplicating things. Providing players with plenty to do and explore yet leaving it entirely up to them how to spend their time seems to be the golden formula here.

Stardew Valley brings new life into what has otherwise been an extremely stagnant genre. While the Story of Seasons series has tried shifting its formula from time to time, none of the recent releases have made great strides in making the experience feel meaningful, especially in regard to character development. While Stardew Valley does keep the daily grind of farm simulation going, it intersperses the mundane with real storytelling moments and endearing characters that will keep you coming back for more.

You've just got to try this game. You will easily lose dozens, if not hundreds of hours simply managing your farm, earning money, and getting to know the townsfolk. Not to mention designing your farmland, placing buildings, tending animals, and crafting. This game will find you saying "just more more day" at least a dozen times before you finally close the game.

From Spring to Summer, to Fall and Winter, season changes will render certain crops dead. You have to plan ahead – farming doesn’t even occur in winter – and your jobs remain engrossing day-in, day-out. That’s Stardew Valley’s greatest strength – it gives you a load of interesting things to do in your new life, rewards you whichever you choose to do, and it always feels like more than just a farming game.

Desde que llegas a la desvencijada granja que heredas de manos de tu abuelo hasta que la conviertes en una máquina de facturar dinero, Stardew Valley proporciona tales cotas de diversión que es difícil no alabar las virtudes de este entrañable simulador de vida en la granja. Es muy completo a nivel de opciones, te deja hacer prácticamente de todo, pero además lo plantea de forma inteligente, sin agobios ni presiones de ningún tipo.

Plagado de actividades, largo hasta casi el infinito y con una jugabilidad y aspectos técnicos que denotan un mimo casi enfermizo, no hay razón para que ningún fan de la saga Harvest Moon deje de disfrutar de esta entrega apócrifa que recopila toda la esencia de la saga y la destila con mimo.

Stardew Valley es un poco Animal Crossing, un poco Fantasy Life, un poco Rune Factory pero sobre todo es muy Harvest Moon. Es un juego que podría haber sido publicado a finales de los noventa, tanto por su temática como por su envoltorio. Música, aspecto visual y modo de juego es algo que podría parecer pasado de moda pero que viene a demostrar que la calidad no entiende de épocas.

Desde fuera puede parecerle a muchos que el tremendo éxito de Stardew Valley es uno de esos fenómenos fruto de algún hilo gracioso en Reddit o alguna moda irónica, pero no es así. El juego de Eric Barone —cuyo estudio se llama, ojo ahí, ConcernedApe, “mono preocupado”— es fruto del estajanovismo más apasionado y una nueva cumbre en dos frentes al mismo tiempo: el de la opera prima perfecta y el del desarrollador hombre-orquesta.

Stardew Valley ha resultado una agradable sorpresa con una jugabilidad muy buena que está realizada con pasión por el género, prescindiendo de tutoriales -aunque logra enseñar muy bien sus normas al jugador- y de elementos innecesarios; en ningún momento sientes que haya una parte de relleno, no hay largas chácharas ni enrevesadas historias y las horas de juego van pasando ligeras y entretenidas.

Gerade als Kenner der Vorbilder kann man angesichts des langsamen Fortschritts schon mal die Lust am kleinteiligen Ackern verlieren. Meist haben mich die üppigen Erkundungsmöglichkeiten aber schnell wieder in ihren Bann gezogen, so dass ich auch nach der Arbeit noch weiter spielen wollte. Nur noch eine Höhle erkunden, ein paar Bäume fällen, den Wald erforschen, die Versteinerung öffnen, einen Stall in Auftrag geben...und schon ist es nicht nur in der Spielwelt Mitternacht geworden.

Die größte Stärke von Stardew Valley ist in meinen Augen die behagliche Atmosphäre. Es ist ein Spiel zum Wohlfühlen: Ich komme nach einem langen Arbeitstag nach Hause und schalte im Moment fast schon aus Reflex den Rechner an, um genau da weiterzumachen, wo ich am Vortag aufgehört habe und wieder einzutauchen in diese magische Welt. Das ist der Sog von Stardew Valley.

Véritable pétite du jeu indépendant, hommage aux classiques de la simulation de vie, mélange entre moderne et ancien, Stardew Valley représente une success-story vidéoludique exceptionnelle. Le travail et la passion sont visibles dans le moindre détail et ne peuvent que ravir les fans du genre. Son contenu, sa qualité, et sa communauté, font du jeu à raison un des plus gros succès du moment, et pourtant, le charme bucolique et rêveur fait toujours son effet à chaque mise à jour du jeu.

Stardew Valley è un videogioco fortemente derivativo, ma che riesce a dire la sua perché mette qualcosa di nuovo in ogni aspetto del gameplay. Vasto, sfaccettato e coinvolgente, avrebbe meritato uno stile grafico meno anonimo, nonostante la varietà della palette dei colori utilizzata. Sarà per il seguito. Intanto è impossibile non lodarlo per la quantità e qualità dei contenuti, che riescono ad andare oltre le sue fonti d'ispirazione.

Потрясающая песочница, за внешней простотой которой скрывается невероятная глубина. Да, не всё и не всегда здесь работает так, как должно. Часть механик нуждается в балансировке, а то и в переработке. И да, это всё ещё клон — пускай и прошедший через авторское восприятие, и в мелочах изменившийся. Но всё это не отменяет главного: Stardew Valley безумно интересна.

Zelfs na een aantal Stardew Valley jaren, blijven de mogelijkheden fris voelen. Geen seizoen is hetzelfde en je hebt altijd een nieuw doel om te behalen. En mocht je het gevoel hebben dat je na vijftig jaar jouw gewassen vaarwel kan zeggen, dan is het zeker de moeite waard om opnieuw te beginnen als wijnboer met een andere startlocatie. Want Stardew Valley verveelt niet!
