Stardew Valley Review
If video games could have children, Stardew Valley would be the 3-way love child of Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Animal Crossing. A handcrafted homage that goes above and beyond the technical limitations of its predecessors. Stardew Valley is easily one of the most impressive and endearing “Indie” games of 2016.

Stardew Valley has the ability to pull you in and, despite a few kinks, keeps you coming back for more. Just one more day inevitably turns into my wife tossing a pillow to the couch at 2 in the morning. It’s so easy to get caught up with the little things that are happening on the farm.
Score: 9/10
Pros
- Easy to learn and advance
- Robust crafting and farming system
- Everything is rendered beautifully
- Animals, weather changing, wind rustling through the trees and various creepy noises marry well with the bright and flowery accompaniment
Cons
- No music for night time
- Make sure you enable the hit box tracking or you'll be wasting energy flailing about like a fool
- Combat tends to be a bit bland and repetitive
- Needs smaller more refined goals during the beginning and growing phases of your farm
