Stardew Valley Review (2024)

[@AS-cw9lb]

To think some dude made this alone while his gf provided economically for the cause of its development is crazy. How well it turned out. Masterpiece.

[@nperegri]

That's true love ❤️. She believed in him so much and won.

[@TheKijib]

think of all the great art that we never get because of this

[@coztfu]

Wait until you find out about Karl Marx and his findings.

[@DNYLNY]

Gf? He didnt wife her up??

[@sudstahgaming]

You know she is now rewarded with 4 kids and a big house

[@MooseMeus]

hour 1: open stardew valley and start playing hour 6: close stardew valley and 37 wiki tabs

[@taochi100]

That was me and Terraria

[@Virry420]

So real

[@cmd2973]

Yup lol

[@BlackPlated]

See you in the 2030 review, guys!

[@zakur0hako]

started playing this yesterday for the first ever and this pops out. i'm already HOOKED on fishing

Never expect in my 30 years old gaming experience some indie games make my top 10 videogames off all time, stardew valley, terraria, darkest dungeon 1 and shadow tactics are all incredible games.

[@nikkobird590]

Facts lol

[@nikkobird590]

And the music? Pfft don't get me started

[@SandMan1998]

Did u know that this game was made by 1 person?

[@davemeech]

Indie games have been making my top games of the last decade+ as well. Terraria, Stardew, Slay the Spire are the big ones.

[@neoaiden368]

Also, Long dark night for me..👋

[@Evanz111]

No matter how many ‘better’ or deeper games have come out, none of them will capture the charm of Stardew Valley

[@draco2xx]

whats so special about it

[@Evanz111]

@@draco2xx The fusion of visuals, soundtrack, characters and feel. It doesn’t feel like a game made for the sake of being a game, it feels like someone’s passion project.

[@diamondly6250]

@@draco2xx you can feel there was a lot of heart and care put into it it was concerned apps baby

[@Heavenly_Father]

​@@draco2xxand also the dev is super supportive of mods he even did an entire update to make modding easier

[@Eliana2896]

@@Evanz111 That's a great explanation

[@senorbeano4868]

Part of the fun is progressing through the game and discovering things you didn’t know were possible. Sure an online guide helps speed up the process, but stumbling upon things is the beauty of Stardew Valley

[@Adam-oy6nc]

Like if you’re hyped for Haunted Chocolatier!

[@christaggart5687]

Sure. I’ll be 50 when it comes out

[@PicklesLaFae]

soo so so hyped!!!

[@Khaizen10]

Likebeggar

[@AeyGee]

I've disliked cause this aint Haunted Milk.

[@arky4604]

Currently on year 19 on the game got perfection but still love this game true classic

[@Ironn963]

And when you think you are done you find Ridgeside Village, SVE, and the 15k other mods which is probably about second biggest modding scene after Bethesda games.

[@holmd90]

Difference is, half of the Bethesda mods are there to make the game stable and playable lmao

[@speedygamey7160]

I'd argue Minecraft has a bigger modding scene but yeah you're right Stardew is still pretty big

[@ashleypenn22]

Accurate to give it a 10, absolute modern classic. My favorite all time game.

[@vanherrmann]

and don't even start me on the modding community for this game... pure bliss.

[@Evanz111]

Not to mention the new latest update didn’t completely break the Stardew Valley Expanded mod, unlike a certain studio that rhymes with “Methesda”

[@phristo]

1:06 woah easy there

[@jonathanhult3555]

So not just me who heard that?..

[@ddtk85]

Haha came here to see if it was just me.

[@ahmedhajjobeid955]

😂 hahahahahaha bro she says it right thought it plucking I've listened to it like 10 times already but pretty sure she says f****ng

[@apexnext]

Took me 3 listens to even understand what yall are hinting at. Thought you was making a weed joke, haha.

[@scabo33]

Just looks like a 2D animal crossing

[@ACameronUK]

100% modern classic 🥰

[@felixfairthorn]

this video sold me on it. im gonna try stardew valley after i'm done with everything Coral Island currently has to offer

[@JasonBlackburn_02]

Im almost done with Dave the diver , time to give this game a try after .

[@darkshibe2267]

Hope you enjoy. If you feel a bit lost in your first attempt: that's really normal :) And the Stardew Wiki is everyone's best friend.

[@Zonefire15]

1:06 that reminded me of that bit in the Sonic Adventure 2 fandub where Tails asks Sonic if he can tell him how to **** crops.

[@Onyyyxx]

You can adjust accessibility settings so when you’re fishing, you just have to press the button once and will catch the fish.

[@TristanMundell]

Where's the fun in that??

[@Joshdrew352]

​@@TristanMundell right? That's takes away from the experience

[@TheShadowOfInnocence]

@@Joshdrew352Exactly! Plus it takes away all the challenge of fishing.

[@bassyey]

@@TristanMundell Accessibility settings are for people with a hard time in their mobility, like disabled people. But yes, leave it to sweaty gamers to discriminate people who just want to have fun too.

[@czelusc]

We should celebrate every time creativity and passion wins over corporate greed. And this is what happened with this game. The dude that created this masterpiece put so many corps into shame. Well they put themselves in shame but you catch my drift. Stardew Valley for life ❤️‍🔥

[@softwaremediaguru]

This game has so much content. It blew my mind

[@shinobusensui9395]

*a person who is passionate about the product their reviewing* The whole score system is jacked in general but people put so much expectation on it. This game is a 10/10 because the reviewer may be into lifesims, character building, mini game type fun. People get mad that their favorite jrpg or fps game doesn't score higher than 7 but it may not be that reviewer favorite genre or they may like that genre and not care as much for the story and rate it mainly on gameplay. Stop caring about scores, if you playing on steam, buy the game and you have 2 hours of game time to refund it.

[@MooseMeus]

yea the time management aspect is what makes it great in my opinion. gives you a real day/night cycle that must be obeyed. no survival game has been able to pull this off.

[@macazootie]

"over a hundred hours" is quite the understatement 😅

[@Blade_Corps]

Consoles don't have the 1.6 update yet, atleast PS doesn't. Was just playing it last night.

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Really need to get into this game, not much into indie games but this looks pretty interesting.

[@AlbertDrippinOnestone]

1:06 Girl had a bad day when reviewing

[@nathanbraga3179]

Glad to see to see Stardew Valley getting its flowers after all of the years of support!

[@Blazeace001]

10/10 Masterpiece as it should be

[@Argonian0727]

Like if you’re playing this in 2024

[@jessequick6158]

I'm about to start probably today

[@davidprodigy5833]

Perfect review, written and spoken awesomeness.

[@Overthought1]

"Newer farming games have improved on many of the mechanics introduced [in Stardew Valley]." Which ones? Citation needed.

[@Fr0zenP3nguin]

The music just soothes my soul.

[@DuckFatherForever]

Guys she said "Plaucking".

[@MyInstantSearch]

Stardew Valley has reached a level of popularity that it totally deserves a 3D remake with Ray Tracing!

[@ThePimpinator]

what

[@lubtearts8985]

One of the best games I’ve ever played

[@drumroll7552]

Why would you review this game again? It was a 10 when it came out, and it got better over time, so that's a 20/10

[@christaggart5687]

When will consoles get 1.6?

[@notting2640]

When PC gets 1.7. Console and mobile has always been 1 update behind

[@Dwight_]

@@christaggart5687 in november

[@danieltwodevs]

just the best "farming sim" game out there - nothing else is even close in terms of music - graphics - tasks - love for details

[@chrisgawron7797]

Hands down one of the greatest games of all time. No question.

[@mattpirrie3599]

The interviewer picking Shane as their partner tells me EVERYTHING about them...

Lol it’s all about the chase!!!!

Best game. Coming from a straight guy with priority’s set on target

[@FatalHappiness18]

Wonderful review you could tell the reviewer really plays and cares about the game. Heres to another 10 years of giving linus foragables!

[@Alltimefox]

Just bought the game on steam, is it really that addicting?

[@CrankyOldErin]

(Looks at my 800 plus hours played just on my PC) YES.

[@Daborus6319]

More addicting than crack

[@SandMan1998]

Yes. But it's pretty tough during your first year

[@Jason-ni8do]

Looks @ my 2000 hours on switch. Yes..

[@nielsB_FPV]

If you are into these games yes :)

[@slickdew6855]

Greatest indie game of all time, and it is definitely in my top 5 games of all time.

[@CosmicW4ffle]

1.6 Is only available on PC tho 😢

[@toni90227]

That short yet flashback inducing glimpse of the Lava Eel

[@lunalove2259]

10/10 is a well deserved score for this masterpiece.

[@gabrielceja2955]

Why do people make is seem like “ you have to wait a whole year” to give her a necklace so long ? Is it really that long?

[@user-xr4qg7sh7x]

giving sb a gift of favorite on their birthday help really really a lot in increasing relationship,giving it on a normal day does only a little,contrastly😠😠

[@Nighhhts]

Don’t forget: Winter (Nocturne of Ice) is a legendary track…

The wind can be still is fire as well

[@Junky284]

You know gaming is suffering when ign has to review a game they've already reviewed 😅

[@Mr_Fluffy_Pants_]

Not as polished as some sims it inspired? Can someone give me an example of what more polished games they’re talking about there ?

[@Immushfiqurrahman]

Just 10/10... Nothing more shouldn't need to be said

[@og87]

If this ain’t got a 10 you crazy 😂

[@TwoWrights]

I've tried playing this about 20 times and it's never satisfied me at all. Because the first playthrough is aimless, like you said, there's no incentive to keep going and finish it.

[@blkknight7788]

The best game you ever will ever play

[@MrQuadro83]

Stardew Valley and Terarria are two of the greatest games ever released. Especially on the Indie front.

[@angelcruz0143]

In what world do the Skulls only do 4 damage?!

[@Padygy]

when is 1.6 coming to mobile?

[@adminjamie]

has any news for 1.6 update for Nintendo switch im a switch OLED 😣😣😣

[@fantasitma]

THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME

[@Barry80Elms]

Wouldn’t go that far…

[@richardavelino7383]

Hey you. Dont listen to IGN. Go in blind 1st playthru. :) It'll change you

[@Dimaz42]

it's also one of the most moddable game ever, even in your mobile phone

[@eduardoguizarperez8417]

Can you play this on a 2020 Mac with no problem?

[@mikem7928]

[@joelkummer3372]

Its called Minecraft. :D

[@frakol8]

Patch 1.6

I’m the only one in the universe who is stressed out by the clock in this game.

[@ilhatropical1]

Just came to see if they gave a 10, glad they did.

[@NotMinute]

im happy you're obsessed and played a ton, but jesus, at least warn us you're going to flood us with spoilers.

[@Evanz111]

What spoilers were there?

[@Radman_NZ]

Bro this game is ten years old lol.

[@Mykst]

@@Radman_NZ Doesn't matter if a game is 10 years old, there are still people who have never played and would like that first time experience.

Is the mobile version worth it ?

[@sudstahgaming]

This game is life in a box

[@SolarasNaracott]

10/10 IGN!

[@Atom87.]

Can you go afk from the game and make progress? or like leave it in the backround

[@joshhudson7413]

No. There's some stuff like smelting ores you could leave for a few minutes, but 99.9% of the game you need to be playing to make progress

[@no1funkydude]

Or - go dont the corperate route and BUY YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

[@1wordsnst27sdkai]

Best game ever made. 🐐

[@JP-jg6hy]

The music is amazing
