Stardew Valley Review

Stardew Valley is a game about a person who inherits their grandfather’s farm, and then attempts to turn it into a profitable venture. The entire game takes place in the countryside, and the player is the only person alive in the world (except for animals, which can also be interacted with). There are ways to increase the farm’s profitability, first by using the farm to cultivate crops, and second by raising livestock. The farm can be expanded with additional buildings. There are also ways to increase the game’s profitability, such as going to the mines, which have a chance of yielding a valuable mineral, or fishing in the river. Stardew Valley is an old-school RPG that was released on February 26th, 2016 on Steam. The player is in charge of a farm, and must cultivate the land, plant crops, raise animals, and participate in festivals.

Gameplay

Stardew Valley gameplay mainly consists of two things: farming, and interacting with the townspeople. The player’s main task is to cultivate crops and raise livestock. There are many different crops that can be cultivated, and there are many different types of livestock to raise. The player interacts with the townspeople by chatting with them, giving them presents, and solving their problems. In Stardew Valley, the player is in charge of a farm, and must cultivate the land, plant crops, raise animals, and participate in festivals. The player starts with a small plot of land, and the gameplay is open-ended, meaning that the player can choose which activities to engage in. There are many different interactions that the player can engage in, and as the player progresses, new activities will become available. For example, in the beginning, the player has the option to either plant crops or raise animals. However, as the game progresses, the player can go to the mountain in the winter to mine for ores, or upgrade their house.

Graphics

The graphics are retro and pixelated, which contributes to the game’s rustic feel. Stardew Valley features an 8-bit art style that is reminiscent of games from the late 80's and early 90's. The graphics are reminiscent of games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, but the game also features a variety of other types of graphics, such as 16-bit, 3D, and pixelated.

Replayability

Stardew Valley is very replayable because it is open-ended, and the player can always create new goals for themselves and try to achieve them. Stardew Valley features a lot of replayability, with a total of 30 different endings. The player will not be able to see all 30 endings unless they play for an extended period of time.

Conclusion

Personally, I would give Stardew Valley a 10/10. I have played the game for around 200 hours, and I have found it to be very enjoyable. The game does not have a multiplayer mode, which is a downside, but it is very replayable because of how open-ended it is. The game is also very fun to play, and I have found myself playing it for hours on end. The graphics may look dated, but I find them to be very charming and they contribute to the game’s rustic feel. I also enjoy the fact that the game takes place in the countryside, as I find the countryside to be very relaxing. I would definitely recommend Stardew Valley to anyone who enjoys farming-themed games, or anyone looking for a game with a lot of replayability.
