Why Stardew Valley Is So Awesome

With overwhelmingly positive reviews and tens of millions of copies sold, Stardew Valley is one of the BEST indie games of all time. Consisting of farming, RPG elements, crafting, romance, quests, and more, Stardew Valley is an outstanding game. In today's video, I am going to break down the specifics of the game and talk about why it is so awesome.

On this channel, I like to cover games that have failed, games that have died, nostalgic stuff, and games that are awesome. In today's video, we talk about Stardew Valley and why it is one of the best indie games of all time. ConcernedApe did an amazing job and I look forward to seeing what they work on in the future.

Literally so insane that Eric Barone made this game by himself. I read that he worked 12 hour days, 7 days a week for 4 years….just incredible, and a testament to what hard work and dedication can accomplish.

That moment when a single man gave the villigers more character and development than a entrie company did (looking at you animal crossing)

[Dekunutcase]

Honestly, the ease of looking up information your character knows is important for enjoying the game. Most games like this require you to remember how much an item costs or how many days to water with that information being hidden away at the shop only.

This is so easy to play when you have a kid. I love it so much. I have a baby (I’m a SAHM) and I can easily play this on the switch with no stress while she breastfeeds/sleeps in my arms.

[sirkitt]

Personally, I try to romance Maru. Yes I know her events aren’t super rewarding. But she does give some pretty neat stuff once your married

No Joke: Before i played this game i never knew how much i missed the old Harvest Moon. What Eric B. did is wounderfoul. He has shown what one person can do with pasion. Now this is the No. 1 Farming game for me. I bought this game on all my avilable plattforms. (digital & Physical).

Ps.: Sorry for my bad writing :)

Harvey is hands down my favorite bachelor. This is also probably partly because I have a thing for doctors but hey, don't hold that against me. He's by far the most stable. He's the town doctor, he's sweet, kind, respectful, and is a great help on the farm. He also faces his fear of heights in order to take you on one of the most memorable dates in the game. A true romantic. He's also the one who takes care of you when you're attacked and faint in the mines. It also doesn't hurt that some of his favorite things like wine and pickles are some of my real life favorites as well lmao.
I love this game so much. It has brought me so much joy. Sometimes I wish I could live there, or at the very least forget I've played it so I can discover it all over again.

I currently have around 130+ hours on a single save in stardew valley, and most of those hours have been played this year. I know no-one wants to hear a random dude's sob story but I was really struggling with college and deadlines around February, and decided to pick up my old save from 2017, that had about 20 hours to it's name. It was horribly played, since I was a noob back them whose only goal was to romance Elliott (yes, Elliott of all bachelors).

After a season or two in the game (and a lot of help from the wiki) I whipped it into shape, left Elliott at 6 hearts and went after Sebastian. But I started to realise (a little too late since by that time I was already married to him) that I didn't want a relationship with Sebastian. I WAS Sebastian. I had the same problems and fears and stardew valley made me realise that I can still make something out of my dull, repetitive life after I had dropped out of college for mental health.

Even with that life changing revelation, Sebastian still isn't my favourite part of this game. Oh, it gets way better than that. I'm talking about the music.

It astonishes me every day I load up the game that just one guy and a whole lot of passion was able to create some of my favourite ost tracks ever made. Screw that, my favourite songs in general.

I can't be the only person who actually cries when it's reaching the end of summer, and your character is standing on the boardwalks surrounded by the townsfolk, and the ocean is dark and unmoving until you see the first few moonlight jellies. And the song starts to play. I'm on year 4 of this save, and every time the dance of the moonlight jellies has never failed to make me tear up. (Also watch Eric barones cover of it on his YouTube channel it's the most wholesome thing ever)

The single best thing about this game for me is Winter (The Wind Can Be Still). It's a miracle that such a song has been created that I can listen to whenever I want. It's so good that I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to hear it. It truly shows that lyrics are not needed to tell a beautiful story.

Stardew valley is my favourite game. Idk how to end this comment lmao

From a design standpoint, one thing that sets Stardew apart from other farming sims is that huge first map and the level of customization available. It gives the player a sense of possibility throughout the whole experience. Other farming sims seem to miss this, and it's why Stardew does so much better.

Let's be honest. Everybody wanted to marry Robin in the first place

[mrspy]

Stardew has made me want to grow land of my own and now I'm growing small things, I hope we move out of this apartment and get land like we had in a yard one day, because this story Is starting to hit closer and closer each day, "There will come a time when the weight of the world becomes to much and you feel your spirit crushed", every time I read that I just want to live my characters world to work land daily and in peace. We need communities again this game taught me, now it's strange to know the person living next to you but there was a time I remember you could walk next-door and say hi, now being older I miss those days more than anything, and feel sad I never could fully enjoy their existence in a sea of a violent marriage and and divorce.

Really no Leah fans out here? She is elusive af but she's got a wholesome story/cutscenes. Leaves a city and a semi douchey boy friend to pursue a simple life working on her art in the country side. Just wish you could get her more integrated into the town in late game with maybe a studio or something.
Still occasionally playing, just a great game.

I love how there’s no pressure, you can play it at your own pace.

[vro]

I'm proud to say that I went and 100% completed the game not because I want to but because I needed to. Though I may say it is not a perfect game but it truly is a masterpiece.

[Rapteh]

You know I will be choosing my shadowboi Krobus any time all the time. Best roommate / soul-eating monster I could've ever asked for.

[sarahmoniously]

I love stardew valley because i can play it with my friends or by myself when I'm feeling anti-social. It's one of those games that you could never really get bored of.

[neoncamcorder]

I don’t know if he’s the _best_, but i romanced Shane. He’s such a complex character and I love the dialogue he has later on in your friendship/romance. also... blue chickens. <3

[chevronlocked]

I love Sebastian. I mean yes, its hard to keep track of him as he hardly leaves his room but he turned out to be a sweetheart. so I'm happy I chose him!

[Lonezewolflonewolf]

so far i've invested 90 hours into this game, and intend to invest more.
