@LGiver I feel like i could relate to what he just said. I think whenever u start playing it, you just CANT stopp. It makes you so addicted that the next time you wanna open to play the game, you have to give it ur all for the next 5-6 hours; therefore, u dont want to play it again unless u know u can be commited to it for a long time.

so lets conclude from all those comments below, u have to be chill while playing this game, u dont have to run after all tasks man, u dont have to complete the community needs so quickly, just chill, everything will be okay, let the passion flow up. why dont you try a normal life? water the crops in morning, collect artisans in 9 am, and go fishing till the dusk came down! then rest your dah by drop at Stardrop Saloon, and enjoy few drinks? Does this sounds normal? Dont get involved by all quests (although you know how to pass it) just chill, let your mind enjoy the game, and dont be obsessive about all things in this big games. got it? actually this game, allow us to choose our own way to enjoy (this is endless game, you will get nothing after complete all the tasks dont it?) so this stuff didnt force us to do all tasks, but choose the right tasks, to fulfill the part of our way in this game.

[@TXFDA]

You mention around 2:18 how nice it is to pop in Stardew and just slow down. Thing is, the first 4-5 times I've legit tried to play Stardew Valley, I never got past Fall of the first year. There's so much to do in the game that it always felt a bit overwhelming. I'd start to farm, then get a fishing pole and try to fisu, then get told about the community center...so I try to fill that up asap, then the mines open up and now I want to get down to the bottom as quick as I can. On top of the seasonal events, keeping NPC happiness up, filling up the museum, upgrading tools, and doing the Adventurers guild stuff. I legit got burnt out. Every save I started, I'd get to month 2 or 3 of the first year, and get tired and just quit. I always felt like I HAD to do everything as quickly as I could, and I'd get irritated if I missed something one month for the community center, or didn't have enough money to buy a certain event-specific item. I only recently started a new save after months of not playing. Figured with the newest updates, I might as well give it another shot. I'm only at the end of Spring on year 1, but I'm having more fun. I've decided to chill out. If I miss something, I miss it. No big deal, it'll be there next year. Like, I didn't even think to plant green beans, so I'm gonna miss them this year in the community center. But oh well. I'm also not rushing to do things constantly. Some days I'll just say fuck it and make it a lazy day where I just fish junk items for the recycler or something. Way more fun and relaxing this way.

[@benjibrownhk]

Just got the game last week, so far been addicted. Don't usually play games like this one! I've been pretty chilled considering how overwhelming the game is. Just relax and do whatever the fuck you want! Try not to read many tutorials on the game I guess as that adds more to the overwhelming element just relax and have fun that's what I'm doing. If ye miss something? All good you can do it next year! Time is really on you're hands and how you want to spend it! I spent a whole day just organzing my chests no biggy, although wish I can take that and apply that in real life. Hope you're having more fun now more then ever dude!

I've been playing farming games since I discovered Harvest Moon on the GBC. I went to a funeral 600 miles away and this game (along with Pokemon) went with me. I had maxed everything out. I was like 9 then, but I still liked more hardcore games like Zelda as well as games like Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.

[@mack_r-s]

I think the reason why I like and play this game even more than animal crossing is just because there’s so much to do! You can farm, you can explore caves, you can start a family, you can build a town to perfection, it never ends! All of that combined with the fact that every cpu is different makes this game 10 times bigger then animal crossing ever could be. It’s also kinda pathetic how one man can make a better and more fleshed out game then fricken NINTENDO!!!

this game is so deep despite looking so simple , I'm on year 5 and I still have goals to do ,got a garden full of pots with delux retaining soil so I don't have to water them then got a full 80 beehives in bottom of my island farm ,didn't even know I was gonna do such thing before starting 5th year,you would think after you are done with community center ,there is nothing else to do but then goals just keep flowing in this game then you keep adding mods and this game almost never ends ,some of the mods that actually truely shine after community center completion, is automation ,better junimo huts,lookup anything ,fast animations and the new expansion mod ridge side cliff village which adds a whole new town and people without messing with your main game like sve ,ofcourse I got like 30 more awesome mods too but some of these mods actually make the game last forever without getting bored

As an FPS gamer who used to play Minecraft. This was an amazing experience. I read about this in a book called "Blood Sweat And Pixels" (amazing book btw) and it sounded interesting. Ever since my Gran always gave me money on Easter, Christmas and so on I decided to use that money to get this game on steam. I often got stressed playing FPS games and this game was relaxing and addictive for me. I immediately got flashbacks to my Minecraft days and I am now addicted. I highly recommend this game to any gamer. Edit: tip for beginners. Fish while your crops grow and get better rods. It is a good way to get money starting out.
