such a wholesome and relaxing game, this is basically the game that can let u release all ur stress and relax from life, simulating living urself as a Farmer on Stardew Valley
u can play this game Solo and even with ur friends

i've played the old Harvest moon Entries and this game is basically the same as it in all of the aspect
but Stardew is way more polished and expanded in terms of gameplay loop and the world

there a tons of stuff you can do as a Farmer starting from Growing ur Crops. fishing, taking care of Farm Animals like Chicken, Cows, Pigs,etc and even explore the mines cavern to gather some Stone, ores and even Gems while also digging some ancient Artifact to collect for the Museum to keep

just like HvM it also comes with different Seasons and unique events

while u live ur self as a farmer, the village around you also felt alive with all kinds of event & Activity
witness many npc living their life, doing their work, interacting with them
all of them have their own stories and problems and even very own special cutscene with us the player
also to mention that you can also Date and even marry some of those marriage candidate villagers
and have kids with them

expanding ur socials with those villagers also get u to know more about their life, knowing more about what they love, like and dislike and in exchange they also will become more friendly with you, sending u messages through the mails, sending gifts and even cooking recipes for u to learn and even some specific villager give a special benefits to the world and ur farm

the game also have Main Quest that tells a story about the World of Stardew Valley, showing u the village background and struggles, the secret of the mountains and the woods of Stardew, and even some Fantasy related stuff like Witch, Monsters, Mermaid and the Junimos the magical Creature similar to the Dwarf from Harvest moon

overall this game is really good and chill, definitely worth if u want a relaxing and chill gaming experience

and also not to forget, Mods!
this game have a really good mods! and most of them are really easy to install and will greatly enchance ur experience with the game. many mods such as quality of life stuff, adding new npc's, new crafting & machine object, and even mods that are expanding the world by adding more locations!

mods such as SV Expanded & Ridgeside village are one of the notable one that expand not only the map of the game but also add a bunch of new npc's, new village, new crops and fishes, and also comes with its own unique quest and stories,basically legit felt like a DLC for the game ngl

but still even without mods this game is still amazing on its own
so yeah 100% recommended !
