Heaven Carter || Issue 9 || November 19, 2024
Tired of the same old boring routine? Tired of working for some mega-corporation that does nothing but drain your energy?
Well, you sure deserve some rest and relaxation.
Stardew Valley is the perfect game to pick up if you enjoy a medium-past cozy farming sim.
Without spoiling too much of the game, after inheriting your totally not deceased grandpa’s farm and accepting the offer to quit your job and move to the countryside you soon introduce yourself to the fellow residents, about 28, including the happy-go-lucky mayor.
And after playing for a couple days, earning resources and recipes you learn that the town community center has been out of service for many years.

Made by a single developer Stardew Valley has been a huge staple in indie games ever since it came out and with its newest, there are even more life improvements and a new farm to choose from on the main menu, again without spoiling too much.
One thing I will spoil is that your avatar now has the option to drink mayonnaise. Which is absolutely not an instrument.
Also game mechanic-wise there are daily seasonal events per year, so there are multiple opportunities to get special items for your farm.
I absolutely adore this game and have been getting back into it after the long wait for the update for the console and I highly recommend it. It’s a really really great way to pass time as well, with managing said time for each day in the game.
