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.
The golden standard of cozy games.

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.

Very relaxing game to work at in your own time at your own pace. Playing with friends in a multiplayer co-op game is more fun as you can all work together to improve your farm.

This time the cows shit themselves and i had to pick it up 10/10 best boring game
Ruined every other farming sim because it’s just too expertly crafted. A game made with love, xoxo
If you like farming and pixel art, this game has those things.
