Gotta say i didn't think much of it before playing it, now i regard it as one of the best games ever made and one of the best i played. For a reason a lot of people consider the game to be really good for your mental health and mental problems like anxiety. I agree, because this game is one of the most stress relieving. Game is good in every aspect in my opinion:

1. The graphics give this retro vibe like you're playing some old game in reality you're not.
2. The overall gameplay is chill with lots of things to do (you will always find something to fulfill your day in the game)
3. You can interact with the NPCs in a lot of ways (also you can marry one and have children)
4. You always have a goal, no matter if you complete one. You can just always create/find a new goal (as for me right now its the Golden Clock)
5. IT'S FUN (like i never expected anything in this genre to create such serotonin by playing it)
6. You can mod the game as you like (although they're are some weird mods ngl)
7. There is lore (not that big but yeah it's still pretty enjoyable)
8. The soundtrack is calm and relaxed. Different season, different soundtrack that you're going to enjoy.

I can't find any bad aspect or some dirt to throw at. (maybe there isn't any)

Most impressive part about all of this by A SINGLE PERSON. I haven't tried Harvest Moon (nor heard about it before playing Stardew Valley), but i'm glad that it was the reason for Concerned Ape to create this Gem of a game. I recommend this game to everyone. Worth the money, Worth the time. There are other aspects and features i've missed to tell but overall it's not a good nor a great game IT"S A FANTASTIC ONE. And i don't mean fantastic only in it's genre i mean overall fantastic. 10/10
