Stardew Valley by a long shot.
Hollow Knight is up there too.
I recently bought stardew valley and its fun but the farming grind feels kinda forced, no? I feel like I need to pay attention to not loose myself in the game which defeats the purpose.
What is your experience there?
I used to find it kinda stressful until i realised there was no time limit to the game like the usual harvest moons so once I realised that, I never find myself rushing around or overextending my ability to farm to grind more and just focused on what I was enjoying in the game which was a bit of everything.
Can relate. It’s the same for me but I have to constantly remind myself of the fact which is why I cant relax, sadly.
There is sort of a time limit though, you get your "review" at the end of the second year (at which point no new events happen). Also getting things planted in time for when the seasons change etc is kind of time-limiting.
But that's all detail, it's great that people can enjoy it without time pressures!
You can also get a new "review" whenever you want after that.
Well that's probably a good thing for playing casually. I think end of year 2 is the earliest though, so that's kind of a "soft" deadline.
Really? That sucks I'm sure I'm on year 3 and I've had events happen
Were they things that don't usually happen in years 1 and 2? I guess they could just be stuff that was added since I last played!
I only really played early on, not dabbled with it properly in years but I do remember things happening. It's not like I could only get things to happen in the first two years in game
The grind is fun for me, but once you get through a few seasons there’s also so much time to explore and talk to the villagers
Got it. Thanks for chiming in.
I can imagine it gets better but the grind is kind of not for me. The mining and farming grind in minecraft I understand and the grind in factorio as well. Maybe its heightened due to the saving cycle that seems to want you to keep going.
For me the game only became fun when I started playing with the wife, we split up tasks and got a lot more done and was much funner
Neat, thanks for the info.
I usually put off doing too much farming until I have a decent sprinkler setup.
