Stardew Valley is an indie pixel art farming game made by a single developer, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone. He created the game’s mechanics and produced the music all by himself. Stardew Valley is more than just a farming game with many different objectives to accomplish. Some main mechanics include fishing, mining, foraging, growing crops, and interacting with the villagers in the Pelican Town side of Stardew Valley. Fishing is a fun challenge because the difficulty of catching a fish is affected by weather, season, and the kind of fish. Mining is an exciting yet difficult task as monsters roam each level of the mines. Foraging provides materials that improve your farm and recover your energy and health. Farming, of course, is a great source of money and improves the aesthetic of your very own farm. Finally, the 34 villagers all have conversations with you, host events, and can even fall in love with you. Overall, Stardew Valley is a relaxing experience that you can take at your own pace yet has a surprising amount of depth.
