Rate top gamesI completed the community center and kinda dropped off this so I guess I'm as "finished" as I'll ever be. I actually much preferred this on mobile than PC - it is literally designed for playing in short sessions. Only thing I miss is mods.
The marriage mechanic is kind of a cry for help and the dungeon crawling in the mine is tedious garbage, but everything else around it has some really great gameplay loops and player expression, especially when I was able to pick the quarry as where my farm was built to limit how much of that dungeon crawling I had to do (still too much).
I think some of the themes - escape your monotonous routine in the city - feels not only generally cynical but also ironic considering how much of the core gameplay loop becomes about routine.

When I first entered the Valley, it was like some folkish dream come true, when I had no idea I had such in the first place. This single dev-made masterpiece seems to have had started the 'farming RPG' trend that's been around for some time now. ConcernedApe's philosophy of DLC-less, content-rich free updates are utterly inspirational, and I dare say that so is the game itself.
Playing this with Mel because she mentioned a coworker said something about it and wanted to give it a whirl. It’s not my genre of game but I’ve had fun playing with Mel for a night or two. I don’t really know how much I’ll end up playing. Probably not a lot but we will see. I definitely won’t be playing without Mel. It is a peaceful game though.
I don’t think we are coming back.
Final Score: B-

Amazingly cozy.
The soundtrack is calming, the artstlye is cute with tons of variety between seasons.
The game is stock full of content in NPCs, mechanics, areas to explore, tons of quests, crafting and farming options and even fully functional combat.
