Stardew Valley is a game that serves as a love letter to old farming RPG games like Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons. You grow crops, date townsfolk, go to the wilderness to find rare stuff, raise animals, go through randomly generated caves...
At it's core it is a relaxing game, and I found it to be a very therapeutic experience.
I love games like Harvest Moon, especially Stardew Valley. I played Harvest Moon 64 as a little kid, and I had the BIGGEST farm. With Stardew Valley I get the same experience plus a whole other area of stuff to do I couldn't do in Harvest Moon, like the caves.
I'm so glad there are games like this.
