My Top 13 MOST-PLAYED Farming Games on Switch & PC!

[@ElleePlays]

WOW! Thank you Josh! What a great honor! Dinkum is amazing! I really appreciate the shoutout. This is amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I can't wait to see what you do with your new island! I stumbled upon your tour a few weeks ago and I've been craving to get back into Dinkum since!

[@MiniJanni]

You so much deserve it dear Ellee. You are making everyone envy. ❤ I know i am for sure. Your content is amazing. Your designs are out of this world, you Rock at designing. Love it!

[@Lunicia]

The same happened to me, I saw your island tour and the second your video ended I turned on my game and played, lol!! Your island is amazing ♡

[@Caslyn1286]

Yay! Ellee is the best! Her Dinkum videos make you want to play and really showcase what is possible!

[@dinkumdev]

Great video, Josh. I'm super honoured for Dinkum to be on your list. Great shout out to @ElleePlays video too. It's still incredible to me that there are people out there have played Dinkum for a hundred hours, let alone 1,800!

[@Asunnixe]

Thank you for all your hard work! Dinkum is one of my favorite farming games of all time

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Thanks James!! It's honestly so easy to lose track of time while playing Dinkum. 😅

[@Mark-qj5kp]

Dinkum ROCKS!

[@ElleePlays]

Dinkum is the best game EVER! Just sayin' :D

[@allthingssharms]

Great Job. Dinkum is one of my all time favorite games with 1500+ hrs not quite as many as @ElleePlays who is an amazing designer. I still have so much to do in Dinkum ohh and Dinkum now acomodates 6 players instead of 4

[@himbeertabi]

Posting this list for myself for easier orientation 💛 13: Kinseed 12: Stardew Valley 11: Harvestella 10: immortal life 9: my time at Sandrock 8: coral island 7: sun haven 6: dinkum 5: roots of pacha 4: SoS AWL 3: SOS poot 2: rune factory 5 1: Animal Crossing New Horizons

[@Tuggs22]

only 66 hours in SDV? that is wild. i would have expected hundreds of hours.

[@SarahColledge]

I have 1,865 hours in Stardew Valley, it's the game I keep coming back to. I highly recommend the Expanded mod and I can't wait for the 1.6 update! My next most played are My Time at Portia (599 hours) and Graveyard Keeper (563 hours).

[@cosygracegames]

Okay I suddenly really want to play Dinkum and forgot about it- thanks for this fun list to help me remember what to pick up once again Josh! 💜

[@Celery_Seeds]

Great video, Josh! I would like to see farm tours of Sandrock, Harvestella, and Coral Island!

[@Asunnixe]

I'll do Top Farming 3 since I just started my Steam account last year Steam: 1. Dinkum 230 hours 2. Disney Dreamlight Valley 98 hours 3. Immortal Life 95 hours Switch: 1. Stardew Valley (I moved around accs and switches but for sure between 500-1000) 2. Story of Seasons: Pionners of Olive Town with 150+ hours 3. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life with 75+ hours (I don't consider Acnh a farming game since it was added quite late but I have over 2k hours in that game) You have a great list though, I know all those games and have played probably 80% of it

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yeah ACNH was cheating a bit. 😅 I really hope I can eventually manage to put as many hours in Dinkum as you did, I wanna make a pretty island. 🥺

[@Asunnixe]

@@JoshGamingGarden You have a lot in Dinkum and it's still in EA! I'm sure you'll visit for the next update 😆 and then 1.0.. whenever that is 😭 Tbf Dinkum is my first Steam game and why I got the Deck so I'm glad to see it at #1 for most hours HAHA

[@Cliff_Edges]

From highest played, I played Animal crossing with 540+ hours then stardew with around 250. Both of those were done when the games were in their prime. Then Disney dream night valley with 230+ hours , 147 with my time at Portia and Graveyard keeper with 93 hours

[@GeekyMina]

Such great shoutout to Elle and Payton, i love both of their channels and bought Dinkum after seeing Elle's vids. Amazing CC with honest reviews as well! I got stuck on Harvestella and feel so long ago I'm scared to go back 😅

[@mikayamada8276]

Thanks for sharing these with us!! I still remember finding you when I searched for harvest moon tips and I cannot thank you enough! ☺️💗

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Thank you Mika!! 💚

[@princesslittlepiddles]

This was such a good video! ACNH is definitely my top played game, along with Stardew Valley

[@lind1107]

Awesome video! I found you in my Olive town era, and have enjoyed all your videos ever since. I have 885 hours in animal crossing, 820 in Dreamlight Valley, 188 in Coral Island, 130 in Olive town & the Wonderful life remake, and 100 in Paleo Pines.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Thank you! Ooh, that's a lot of hours in Paleo Pines! I really wanted to love it but it didn't manage to keep me playing more than 15 hours. 🥲

[@ninastanczyk5240]

I now feel the need to replay almost all of these games! Thanks for inspiring me!

[@chelseabighetty4722]

I love your channel so much! I got so excited when I seen this video pop up!! That’s so nice you got supported by those two amazing ladies!! Cozy gaming is such an amazing community.

[@Peppermintz1]

My current top 10 farming sim games 1: Harvestella 2: Doraemon sos fotgk 3: Rune factory 4 special 4: Rune factory 3 special 5: Sun haven 6: Original harvest moon friends of mineral town (sorry fomt remake your not making it on my list) 7: Immortal life 8: Story of seasons a wonderful life 9: Fae farm 10: Story of seasons pioneers of olive town.

[@mike1024.]

I've played a pretty big variety of games outside of farming games, but I'll see if I can figure out a top list a little later also! I wanted to mention Exophase, which is an excellent way to track your Switch playtime more accurately. The downside is you have to open games outside of your last 20 in order to update them into the list, but it still works so much better than the Switch tracker. It's just a little bit of time doing the setup. I do know PoOT and ACNH have a lot of hours in my list too. I'm surprised FoMT didn't make your list! This was such an enjoyable video by the way. Great topic!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yes, I actually started using exophase very recently, it's so useful! I only have about 40 hours in FoMT, I think it released when I didn't have as much time to play games!

[@mike1024.]

@@JoshGamingGarden ah so it barely missed the cut! Good to know. I'll get my list done some time today, courtesy of Exophase. :-P

[@wonder0076]

Pioneers of olive town gets a lot of hate in the community but finally someone shows it some love I love this game. This and stardew and pacha are my favorite games on my switch

[@tinahoefs1455]

Not actually farming but I'm seriously addicted to mineko's night market right now on gamepass.

[@LisaMichelle98]

Glad to see Roots of Pacha so high, I think it's my favorite farming game of recent years!

[@mothlantern]

Thank you for introducing me to Dinkum and Immortal Life! I ended up loving both of them!

[@iselinDDLV]

Thanks for this video❤Have some new on my list now. AC is still number one for me too with alot of Switches because of my AC addiction. Have more than 2000 hours only on one island and many other islands with hundreds of hours, and only played it since Christmas last year🙈After I got sick and don’t singing/making music I can use my creativity in AC. I also made an island after founding my mother unexpected dead. It’s a trauma and the game was helping me healing when I was making her an Island “Afterlife”. So strange it stopped counting your hours. Pioneer of Olive town is so underrated, it’s my number 2. And that was the game that took me here and I’m so happy I found you. I love to watch your gameplays. You’re my KZbinr number 1❤❤❤

[@viena_luna]

Wonderful list, thank you!! Found a couple of new games for myself ~❤

[@Lunicia]

I spend more time modding SDV than actually playing it 😂 I play for like 10 hours or so and stop. When I open the game next time I feel like checking for new mods and restarting LOL I don't have many hours in sdv either, I also love the original Harvest Moon/ Story of Seasons games a bit more for playing longterm. But my personal faves are Sun Haven and Dinkum! So fun and easy to pick them up even after not playing them for a while

[@rita8274]

THIS is the video I want, I want to know what actually takes time out of a gamers day to play significantly more than other titles.

[@KuddlyKisses]

Personal reference: 15. SoS:FoMT - 45 hrs (Switch) 14. Big Farm Story 46.9 hrs (PC) 13. Staxel 49.4 hrs (PC) 12. Garden Paws - 50.6 hrs (PC) 11. Paleo Pines - 54 hrs (PC) 10.

[@liloconjetudo9045]

There is sooo many games in the list i didn't even Know they existed! Such a fun video

[@mike1024.]

1. Story of Seasons - Pioneers of Olive Town: 177:00 2. Animal Crossing - New Horizons: 109:58 3. Story of Seasons - Friends of Mineral Town: 70:18 4. Stardew Valley: 22:01 I have other farming games to play but haven't gotten around to it with my backlog! Honorable mentions of non-farming games: -Zelda Breath of the Wild: 279:16 -Age of Empires II: 191:12 (not including childhood play) -Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: 159:27

[@talitharoque7808]

I also have well over 1000 hours on ACNH!! Thank you so much for this video, it gives me more games to check out!

[@reyaer3750]

Awesome video! I’m patiently waiting until I can either get a steam deck or have sun haven and coral island come to the switch, same with dinkum! I really want to play them. My most played farming sim is Stardew Valley for about 400+ hours on PC and switch. Most of this is with my bf since it was one of the main games we played together when we were long distance, but we can’t stay away and always circle back to this game, whether mods, playing with friends, taking our switches on the go, and even working on perfection, I don’t think I’ll ever truly stop playing stardew 😊 other than that, most farming sim games I’ve played tend to hover around 100 hours or so, Wylde flowers being the one I’m currently working on since I restarted to play the story again and see what they added with all the updates naturally

[@milly.gaming]

Great video Josh! I've been here since your Animal Crossing days. It's been awesome watching your channel grow into what it is today.

[@fynn3016]

Great Video Josh! It was very chill to watch :) My List Sorted by Hours would be 1. Animal Crossing, 2. Stardew Valley an after that most of the Games have nearly the same playtime. I really want to pick up a new Farming Game again but there is so much choice recently that I can’t decide 😢

[@jenneldoodeldoo7803]

I really liked this video. I am surprised that you played so little of Stardew Valley, it would be lovely if you started a new playthrough when 1.6 comes out. I will too and I would love to see you explore it as well, especially since it sounded like you also missed 1.5, so there will be so much new for you to do. Time to get up those play time number!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I'm definitely behind, there is a lot of new content for me in SDV! I played a bit of the 1.5, but most of my playtime was in 1.0, so I'm not familiar with much of the content that was added.

[@moonspider7]

I’d never hit over 100 hours in a farming sim til I played Sun Haven. There is *still* more content coming out and I had to force myself not to play it for a while so I would be able to replay and see the new content. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had in farming sims. Adore it.

[@trishamay4032]

I would never forget how extremely excited I was when the new content for Animal crossing was announced. The content with farming, cooking, and HHP. I literally went on a vacation leave on the day the content was added just so I could play all day. 😂

[@AbraFAM_de]

Thank you Josh. If I see a nice game with farming elements, the first thing I do is to look for your opinion about it😂, because you always feel the same way about games like me. ❤😅 I got Everdream valley today on the switch although you didn't liked it that much and I am completely overwhelmed and the camera setup is "challenging", but I will see if I can get more out of it because I like very bright colourful games so much.

[@revannia]

Most of my top games are on Steam: 1. Coral Island - 355 hrs 2. SoS Pioneers of Olive Town (Switch) - 340 hrs 3. My Time at Portia - 269 hrs 4. Stardew Valley - 253 hrs (not recent - from 2020-2022) 5. My Time at Sandrock - 185 hrs (need to get back to this one to finish up the last part of the story) I have most of the games mentioned, but haven't gotten too far into them - yet 🙂

[@yakumorisuke9403]

I found you through RF5! I was having soooooo much trouble with decorating, and it was your tip for breaking furniture and reloading that worked for me :D I'm a bit surprised that neither FOMT nor RF4S are on the list - did you not pick up the remakes? Edit: OK, I looked up my own play times: 198 hrs on Disney Dreamlight Valley and 78 hrs on Stardew Valley are my most played on Steam, and then 170 hrs on SoS POOT, 120 hrs RF5, 140 hrs RF4S, 140 hrs My Time at Sandrock, 120 hrs SoS FOMT, and 30 hrs in Faefarm. Does DQ Builders count? Because I have nearly 130 hrs in DQB2 as well - it's not a farming sim, but there's lots of building and crafting, so if we're counting the My Time series maybe DQB counts too? Sadly, My Time at Portia and Animal Crossing are missing data because I changed Switch and the times reset, but they both have over 100 hrs as well.

[@cheyannemcclure7388]

I remember your animal crossing videos! That is what brought me to your channel!

[@aeraneth]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one disappointed by Coral Island's 'full release.' TT_TT I didn't start playing until full release because that was the kickstarter tier I bought, only to find out the features I was most excited for (mermaid kingdom and mermaid marriage!!) weren't going to be implemented for a long while. My first week in the game was so buggy anyway that I just set it down to let it cook. But! On my switch, my longest-played games are: 1. Stardew Valley 2. Dragon Quest Builders 2 (it counts, really!!) 3. Rune Factory 5 4. Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town 5. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town 6. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin 7. basically every other farming game averages around the same lmao

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Dragon Quest Builders 2 definitely counts!! Such a fantastic game. I forgot to check but I could have probably included it on my list to.

[@helen4787]

Great video saving it for when people want recomendations. The only one I have is coral island & I have also stopped playing for now

[@oshizu5576]

Thank you for sharing your list of 13 most-played Farming Sims for five months ago. I'm curious about your ranking of the newer Fields of Mistria. Where would it fit into your list? Or can you not include it yet because you're still playing it?

[@anitacrumbly]

We share all four pixel art farming games but my favorite is kynseed i adore the beautifully done pixel art/water color looking combo, the story, the fae elements and all the fun minigames where i can choose what kind of shop i want to have if i want to have a shop i think that is so cool.

[@LuigiFunTime7665]

Awesome video Josh & keep up the good work & I have the most hours on Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town on my switch so far because that game already beat animal crossing new horizons hours & I did the most research of Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town from deep backstory from the bachelor & I know more about what actually happened in Olive Town before year one began & yes I have been doing the hold research of that game from last year in 2021 & if u have any question about story of seasons pioneers of olive town u got to ask me because I know everything about this game off by heart now☺️❤️

[@missitheachievementhuntres560]

wow Harvestella is already over a year old.. that one looks so awesome ^^

[@MiguiMonkey]

Looking great and fresh as always, Josh! Hahaha, I've been waiting for this video to drop! Never went past 100 hours. So maybe I should play more! Here's mine for PC and Switch! 1. 🍇 Stardew - 84 hours 2. 🫒 RF5 & PoOT - 45 hours 3. 🥟 Immortal Life - 44 hours 4. 🐮 SoS: AWL - 40 hours 5. 🚜 Farm Together & Portia - 34 hours

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Stardew is getting close to a 100, maybe after 1.6 you'll get there? 👀

[@starberryvi]

acnh is my most played game too, also over 1000 hours! i might delete my island soon cuz i wanna play it again from scratch.. oh how i wish i could have more than one island on my switch T_T the story of seasons games are also my most played. currently playing a wonderful life and it's such a relaxing game. then harvestella! and a bit of fae farm and littlewood. :)

[@someoneout-there2165]

Been playing Harvest Moon about 200 hours. Maybe favorite game ever. 💋

[@Kogami]

Surprised to see some lesser-known farming games here! I think the number of hours any person puts into their game can pretty much be the most honest testament to how much they enjoyed the games but I'm also glad that you're still open to criticizing their flaws and what stopped you from playing them haha. Out of curiosity, how many hours did you put in the Doraemon SoS games and Faefarm if that's okay to ask? (Also the comments section really shouldn't give you so much flak for having low numbers on Stardew, those over 500-1k hours people put in Stardew alone are divided into soooo many farming games for you!)

[@brandondeakins564]

After dinkum got is hooks in me and really clicked, i can't go back to anything else

[@ArtAngelMouse]

Mines definitely ACNH since thats included here. Completed the museum and nearly all the DIYs. Then its probably like Dragon Quest Builders 2 (if that also counts or even Minecraft lol), Farming Simulator 15 and Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.

[@arikari3672]

I'm interested in Olive Town now that I'm halfway Mineral town, I hope a sale comes soon. Checking my playtime (mainly on switch), Harvestella is my most played game, really and amazing and unfairly reviewed game on metacritic. Finished main story: I got all the jobs and I completed the bonus dungeon (I couldn't beat the last boss on floor 60 tough 😅) with 110 hours.

[@storyofyams99]

you and MilkyT introduced me to farming games. Thank you so much

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Milky!!! 😭 I miss her so much. Her channel was such an inspiration for me.

[@blue_hour_appeared]

I have a lot of hours in Animal Crossing New Horizons as well. Other farming sims I’ve put a ton of hours in are Littlewood, Fae Farm, Pioneers of Olive Town and My Universe - Green Adventure: Farmer Friends (yes, a ridiculously long title)

[@blue_hour_appeared]

Omg, and Stardew Valley of course!! 🤦‍♀️

[@SunnyLove01]

Here since the OG AC days! I knew AC had to be your #1 ❤

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Yay! Thanks for still being here! 💚 It's not a proper farming sim, but still, I couldn't ignore AC!

[@benimaru0]

I love dinkum, me and my wife hard to move on with another game.

[@astherothhh]

Stardew valley, Rf4 and dinkum are my fav ❤

[@AmbiCahira]

If you want to get back into stardew I recommend watching youtube content on it, it is super motivating! There's so many secrets in the valley and now the game even has ostriches and you can have dinosaurs on your farm as well, and with some friendship you can have blue chickens and black and gold chickens and eggs exists too. I also don't think you played far enough to have pigs yet, you need to experience the pigs and their truffles if you haven't already!

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I did have a pig in my original save file! I also was almost done with the community center, I think the only item I was missing was the rabbit's foot. 😅 That was before any of the updates, so I figured I was mostly done and stopped playing at that point. Now, there's so much more to do!

[@kei1702]

rune factory 4 s - 250 hours rune factory 5 - 180 hours graveyard keeper - switch 120 - steam 30 hours stardew valley around 100 hours coral island 90 hours harvestella 52 hours dinkum 40 hours but harvest moon return to nature in ps1 when im kid I play this game for so many years maybe 2000 hours or more😅

[@JoshGamingGarden]

Similarly, I played Harvest Moon 64 soooo much, but there was no way to count back then. 😭 Glad to see Rune Factory 4 in number 1! It's so good but I need to give it more of my time!

[@KoKoaKate]

My Time at Sandrock is the GOAT for me. As an avid rpg and farming sims game, this game has the best of both worlds for me. The main plot for me is a lot more interesting and works best with (sort of) farming mechanics. Harvestella storyline kind of takes away from the farming for me (it is a great game of course) but I feel that plot would work better as an action rpg.

[@HolicChan]

RF5 is so painfully underrated it makes me so sad

[@animehuntress9018]

I'm kinda of bummed with RuneFactory 4 and 5 as a Runefactory fan. I loved the first one and can't even describe how many hours I still put on it with my DS, lol. I also really enjoyed the first Wii version Frontier as well. I liked Tides of Destiny okay but really I feel they've gone away from the mechanics that made the game so fun. Harvestella seems to have buckled down on the right path and the way I though Rune Ractory was going to go. PocketPals actually reminds me of the OG Rune Factory game and I'd play it if it wasn't for the dissonance of the world and pals.

[@Soraphina]

I think I will pick up sun haven and Dinkum again!

[@rickylim2540]

Harvestella would have been great if they voiced the cutscenes

[@Jhoannegee]

I might try the dinkum. Sun haven

[@audreyl606]

Interesting that SoS: Friends of Mineral Town didn’t make the list! Do you not like this remake as much as the others? I find it interesting you’ve played PoOT so much more than FoMT as most people like FoMT more

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I loved the FoMT remake! I played it for about 40 hours, but I think it just released when I didn't have as much time to play.

[@infinitecurlie]

I LOVE My Time At Sandrock 😂 I have over 100 hours on it. I adore the story, characters, and the romance options. (I stopped playing Coral Island too because it's not finished. I was really disappointed when they had the 1.0 release and the main quest wasn't finished. I might pick it back up when the big update comes out in a few months but idk, it depends on what others say, especially if theres a more complete story and such). ( 21:52 also if animal crossing dropped Zelda items I would totally pick it up again 😭 but noooo).

[@jaysongaylaxy3137]

PC: 1. Genshin Impact 1500+ horis for the last like 2 years 2. overwatch 2 400+ hours 3. Danganronpa 70 hours PS 5: 1. Honkai Starrail 300 hours 2. Genshin 145 hours 3. Persona 5 105 hours

[@loviebeest]

harvestella is very reminiscent of runefactory. that's another added to my wishlist.

[@sahdogwrangler5594]

I wasn't a huge fan of Pioneers of Olive town. It got grindy & I didn't like all the debris & puddles that needed to be cleared daily. The characters felt very flat to me also. I still had fun but other games are more enjoyable to me. At Christmas my daughter bought me a Switch lite just so I could play Animal Crossings & thats all I've been playing for 2 months. It's kind of funny because my son got me into PC games a few years ago by showing me Stardew Valley which I have played over 700 hours & even learned to mod. He played on Xbox so couldn't help with that!

[@RoyalRadiantJade]

I definitely have 400 hours on stardew Valley in 2020 but play time is probably half of what Is recorded on steam since I do afk in the game a lot. 300 hours on story of seasons: pioneers of olive town. Might be less played hours as well. Around 300 hours on my time in Portia I'm close to 80 hours in rune factory 5. I really want to try immortal life after watching your videos and SOS: A wonderful life. I have not reached end game for any of the games I've played so I feel bad about getting new games. 😅 watching your videos help.

[@SharonKofoed]

I don't have my Switch on hand, so I can't say what my top 5 or 10 are...but I know that ACNH is the game I have played the most! (pretty sure after that are Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Violet...and I have a feeling that some HM/SoS games are in the top 10, as well as Ooblets and FaeFarm)

[@mintendogaming]

Oops I have so many thoughts hahaha... Glad to know I'm not the only farming sim obsesser with a "lower" amount of hours in stardew valley! I have about 140 hours but have not played the game to it's full capability whatsoever! I really wanna get into immortal life more but I have NOT prioritized it at all! It seems awesome from what I've played so far! It's sad when these games slide under the radar! I absolutely ADORE Roots of Pacha and wish it got more hype!!! OMG Im shocked at how many hours of olive town you played!!! So sad I couldn't get into Olive Town or RF5 :/

[@JoshGamingGarden]

There are just too many games releasing, it's hard to give them all the amount of hours they deserve. 😭 Lots of amazing games like Immortal Life as you said just slider under the radar. I made a ton of Olive Town guides & tips videos, so a lot of hours went into the game for those. And as I'm replaying it now, I'm liking it even more. It doesn't have the best characters, but the gameplay is addictive I find.

[@Mark-qj5kp]

Only 66 hours on SDV?! :O

[@neena1511]

Animal crossing new horizons has a special place in my heart

[@courtneytatefigueroa1172]

I really wish I could have gotten into RF 5! I just can't for the life of me understand how to play the game... Like for some games I really need a hand to guide me to exactly where I need to go and what I need to do 😂 All this talk with PoOT makes me really wanna play it all over again! I still go back to play AWL as I adore that game so much! ACNH is still my most played game since 2021! I've restarted once and since having so many new games to play, I just struggle with going back to it!

[@storyofyams99]

My top 5 are: 1. ACNH 770 hours ( to me it's a farming game, I went crazy growing pumpkins ) 2. Stardew Valley (107 h on steam, like 40 h on my xbox one and I think 10 h on the switch) 3. Coral island 127 hours (only early access, I'm too lazy to start over) 4. Sun haven 123 hours (my favorite one) 5. Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town 90 hours. I don't really like combat, it's kind of frustrating to me. I do have a lot of hours on stardew but I don't really enjoy playing it, I did buy it three times idk why. I think I like the feeling of being rich

[@MetalMonkey1453]

I don't have the specific times for them but I'm pretty sure my top 3 would be Rune Factory 5 at #3, My Time at Sandrock at #2, and easily Rune Factory 4 at #1 (even though that's a ds game)

[@user-kr5vm8nk1d]

Animal Crossing top with over 1000 hours (I was AFK for some of that leaving my island open so others could visit) I have every recipe crafted so consider it complete. Stardew Valley next with 155, and nowhere near completion.

[@kimberlycelaya1895]

Interesting video! ✅✌🏼

[@Agarokk]

In 20 years I will still rambling about how it would be nice to have a Harvestella 2 but it will never happen since the game sold poorly. Feel free to crucify me but I could never get into Stardew. I tried multiple times with lots of cool mods but it was just not for me.

[@JoshGamingGarden]

I really would love Harvestella 2. 🥺

[@ZazaLoveism]

Our top three is the same.

[@catieluvsrunefactory3805]

My most played games are Rune Factory 5 English version with over 205 hours, then Rune Factory 4 Special English version with over 165 hours.

[@catieluvsrunefactory3805]

Both on the Switch.

[@JM-zo5me]

Those Stardew numbers are rookie numbers. 😅

Mine is story of seasons friends of mineral town / olive town / stardew / Hokko life. My favorite game is animal crossing new horizons but I don’t really consider that a farming sim but if you do include it in my list too.

from all of these games, i feel like the one that could be a very big hit would have been RF5... but honestly it felt like devs were at certain point and were just like eh, call it a day and wrap it. the endgame is way too easy and many of the endgame content things are not even required, people just get them for the sake of achievement pride or something, at the hardest difficulty you can clear the game quite easy and fast without even using the top gear, the tower thing is nothing compared to rune prana from RF4 or the sharance maze, i pretty much cleared this game without upgrading gear.

The only reason I didn’t get kynseed is because of the turn based fighting 😫

[@faisalhusein227]

Coral Island still not finished story line ?

[@anthonynonoya4486]

Those are some rookie numbers on Sandrock, heh. Probably helps that I tend to pause to do what I want once I hit a main quest without a tike restriction. Roots of Pacha, honestly I kind of bounced off of it. I plan on giving it another try at some point. Coral Island, I bought when it released on my Xbox Series S because I don't have my pc set up, and it honestly just makes me incredibly angry. It very clearly has the potential to be a good game, and it very clearly is still in beta despite being marketed as a full release. As for Pioneers of Olive Town, while I did wind up putting quite a few hours in to it, when comparing it to my introduction to the series, Trio of Towns, I largely just find it disappointing.

400 hours in Stardew

[@kaitlin9936]

I think I have 10x as many hours in Stardew 😅 oops

[@jaymout158]

[@bruceboivin2278]

To bad animal crossing don't come steam.

[@Lyzander911]

Hated kynseed

[@Oogie1155]

Only 66 hours in Stardew Valley?! Do you even play farm games? I was thinking probably at least 500 hours; but just 66, crazy.

[@Asunnixe]

If you watch more of the video, majority of the games are farming games. Josh just hasn't played a lot of Stardew since he's always loved the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons franchise which Stardew was inspired by

[@fianoanthonio]

Exactly. I was thinking the same.

[@babyqeels]

Not every farming game enjoyer is going to love stardew or have it as their favorite farming sim. So many have come before it and so many have come after, and for many (myself included) the game is overwhelming and the opposite of cozy. I’m glad so many people are enjoying it, but annoyed that there’s a belief now that all farming games = SDV.

[@HeySoyAuggie]

Whoa! What a waste of time…🙄

Having fun is never wasted
