Stardew valley silo full3/20/2024 The Harvest Moon games project a fairly Japanese mentality that work - successful labour day in and day out - is its own zen-like reward, hard lives lived well. Stardew Valley has all these things it wants you to enjoy. The excess strength is, perhaps, in reserve for crazier weekdays. For a while, I simply couldn’t find enough farming in the day to spend my energy on, instead exploring, fishing, and dabbling with the payloads of side-quests and minigames throughout the town. You’ll get bored of farming before you get tired. Like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley has a stamina bar, but it’s much more generous. It tests your modesty if you decide to build a beansprout Babylon - a god who makes themselves a garden so big even they couldn’t water it every blinking day.Īnd you can go big, too. Whereas Harvest Moon is conservative on the space, forcing you to be strategic with agriculture,the strategy in Stardew Valley is the opposite.

It likes filling a wooden box with grown produce, foraged flowers, and fish. It likes escaping there, the prologue having an emphasis on fleeing an office cubicle. It likes the innocent and isolated towns, full of mild-quirk townsfolk and not a one among them threatening. It likes the graces of the seasons, drifts of winter snow and spring’s cherry blossoms breezing through the air. It likes Harvest Moon a lot, and those who like Harvest Moon will probably like it in return. Stardew Valley is an homage, a send up, and there is little mistake to make about that. Not to be confused with the also really good Neil Young album, “Harvest Moon”, which Stardew Valley does not riff upon outside of the honkey tonk atmosphere in the single’s bar waltz music video. There is no point in kicking sticks around over Stardew Valley ’s similarities to the Harvest Moon series, Natsume’s long-running farmlife simulator.
