Stardew Valley is the Best Indie Game of All Time?

Variety is one of the best aspects of video games,  Stardew valley meets all these requirements. The farming simulator aspect of the game is fun and time consuming. The original release date was February 26th, 2016, it continued to gain a reputation for being the best and most successful indie game. So lets talk about it.    

The player starts out by creating a 2D avatar then is provided a plot of land called Pelican Island. The land was passed down by the players grandfather, which continues to play an important role of the story. 

Over time the seasonal changes influence the activities the player takes part in. The best part about the seasons is the special events that follow.

In the winter, The Dance of the Moonlight Jellies festival takes place at night on the 28th of summer every year. During this event, villagers gather at the docks and watch moonjellies migrate towards the shore. On the other hand, the Festival of Ice occurs on the 8th of every winter. Igloos and ice sculptures are set up for viewing and the Ice Fishing contest takes place. The player gets a chance to earn 2000 coins and other prises by winning the contest. Summer and Winter activities are different but each have special aspects to them.

Another attention grabbing part about Stardew Valley is the ability to get lost in the hours you spend playing. The routine of this game and all the activities you can do cause the player to forget the reality they are in and submerge themselves into their virtual farm life. This game can be great for any occasion, especially when coming home from a long day of work or school.

If you are interested in a routine based game, this is the pick for you. Overall, 10/10 video game for anyone.
