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!

Our Go-To Co-Op Game for Endless Hours

My wife and I have sunk hundreds of hours into Stardew Valley digitally over the years and we've beaten it multiple times together, building farms, romancing villagers, and exploring the mines. When we saw the physical copy, we had to grab it for the collection. It runs perfectly on both our original Switch and the new Switch 2 with no glitches, smooth performance, and the portability is great for couch co-op sessions after the kids are in bed. The story pulls you in with its relaxing vibe, deep progression, and all the little surprises like festivals or cave adventures. Raising animals, fishing, cooking. It's super addicting in the best way, and the customization keeps it fresh every playthrough. If you're into chill farming sims with heart, this is a must-own physical edition. Still loving it after all these years.

I bought this game because I thought it would be a great game for me and my wife to play...and I was right! It offers split-screen which is very handy, but you do need 2 full controllers to play this game split-screen on the Switch. That means you need at least 4 Joy-Cons or 2 Joy-Cons and a Pro Controller for the Switch. This game has a ton to do and is very enjoyable for me and my wife who hasn't hardly played any video games in her lifetime. The cheapest version of this game I found was here at Best Buy, as well. Highly recommend!

I've not progressed too far as of yet, but that's not for a lack of trying as Stardew Valley has so much to do, packed with so much content it is well worth the price.
Stardew Valley is an amazing indie game that stands out in a market dominated by soulless entertainment or predatory micro-transactions; made by a developer that cares about making something with heart and human hands - Stardew Valley is well worth the time and money.

I absolutely love playing Stardew Valley! The game is charming, relaxing, and incredibly satisfying. Building up my farm, making friends with the townsfolk, and exploring the mines all feel rewarding. The pixel art is beautiful, and the music really sets the cozy mood. It’s easy to get lost in the peaceful routine and sense of progress. Overall, Stardew Valley brings me so much joy and is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had.

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.

I am so happy that Best Buy carries physical copies of games. This was a gift for the other half, who says the game plays as expected. They have a lot of hours into this game on digital versions, but they really wanted a physical copy, just in case.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Having this game on the Switch is perfect for those looking to play a classic RPG while traveling. I enjoyed delving into the lore of the Stardew Valley universe and it is a blast to build your own farm.

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.
