    Y’know, I didn’t think I’d like the game when it first came out. A friend HOUNDED me saying I needed to try it and now I’ve been playing it for two weeks straight. It’s a pretty relaxed game, I’ve enjoyed hours of playing it!

    I gifted this to my friend's kid. I absolutely enjoy this game. I knew she would too. I wasn't into farming games and didn't play it for very long. Then I started playing one on my cell much later and absolutely loved it. That's when I decided to give this game a real try. I've been hooked ever since. There's so much you can do. Keep it simple or go big. There are lots of ideas online especially on YouTube.

    After more than 100 hours on this game, probably the best game to give to someone that is new to video games.

    Stardew Valley is by far the best Farm Simulator I had played. At the beginning I was not impress with the graphics because it look more like a SNES game, but soon fell in love with this masterpiece. It has many bachelors and bachelorettes which you can marry, lots of crops and ways to make money. Also the game keeps updating and adding new content for free.

    Keeps the village growing and fake people skills blossoming. Like to build around, gather, and explore. Is a great way to pass time lounging and entertainment. Old school fun and keeping tabs on gaming arenas.

    Got this game for the switch since I played it on the xbox for hours and hours. It's a simple game, but its highly addictive. It's never ending and that's the fun of it. Completely open world with a little bit of story and some missions, but really it's just you building and maintaining a farm, winery, brewery, garden, and animals. However it has fishing, foraging, and even monster hunting in it as well. It has a sprinkle of just everything.

    Few games can make me have triple digit numbers of hours in playtime. For me, Stardew Valley is one of them. The world is very much your oyster in a calm, low stakes environment (unless you’re trying to dash back in bed from the other side of town because you forgot the time). Want to just chill and farm crops? Stardew Valley has that. Cook nice meals up for people? You can do that as well. Befriend or romance everyone in town? Entirely possible to do. Ruin the mayor’s political aspirations by tossing undies in the summer luau stew? Yes, that is possible as well (and a bit gross). This game is a labor of love and is still getting updated years after its release with free content. I definitely recommend it for any gamer.

    Absolutely adore this game. It's simple enough where I don't have to stress to much on how to get my farm super stable really fast. The story is nice and the characters are interesting. I will admit the only reason I bought the physical is because I wanted to own it for my shelf. I already own the digital but the physical copy is nice to have as a backup and was pleasantly surprised to find out it comes with a basic guide for the game. Not many games I buy anymore come with booklets

    I have played harvest moon games since I was 8. I have nerver found a more peaceful past time. Until that is that a man that was a huge fan of Harvest moon made an even better one.

    Great game,great price, fast shipping. Its difficult to find a physical copy of this gameat a reasonable price and new. I love the game, so does my 6 yr old. Its fairly easy for her. Most difficult part is buying seeds from the store bc she cant read well yet. And tasks but still easy w lil help reading.

    Stardew Valley is a cute, 16-bit farming simulator RPG. There is a bit of a learning curve beginning the game, but once you get the hang of it, you're golden. The soundtrack is soothing, the graphics are adorable, and there's so much to explore in this game. This is wonderful on your own, but you can also play with friends online (if you have a Nintendo Online subscription) or a local connection (all players on the same wireless network). Personally, I think playing with friends is a lot more fun than playing solo. On the Switch, this is a chill game to vibe out to, and you can often play while watching a movie or listening to a podcast in the background. It almost feels like it was MADE for playing handheld on the Switch. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys chill simulation games.

    This game has been popular for years because of its fun and addicting gameplay, and what better console to own it for than the switch? When the power goes out, stardew valley. When the internet goes out, stardew valley. You will now have a hard copy and nobody can take it away from you! Definite must-own for physical media enjoyers.

    Fun farming game that you can come back to play over and over again. I own this for the PlayStation as well as this edition. If you like farming with a bit of action and a cute story line, you will like this game. Originally I thought the graphics were strange looking, but the game really grows on you and I found myself playing the whole game multiple times. 5/5 recommend.
