Stardew Valley is a 2D game in which your character owns and develops a farm. At its core, it sounds like a farming sandbox game - don't get us wrong, that is what it is - but there is a lot more to it than that..
There are five different skills, each being important in some way or another. There's farming (duh), mining, foraging, fishing, and combat. These can all be trained and leveled up, and you'll find yourself needing to do this to progress and gain access to some of the hundreds of pieces of equipment and tools Stardew Valley hosts.
Not only are there skills, but there are many other characters that you can (and in some cases have to) develop your relationship with. Some of these characters might buy items from you, sell items to you, and others you might marry! The possibilities are endless...
The game was released in early 2016 and was developed more or less entirely by Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe. It is now available on a vast array of platforms including PC, Mac, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and XBOX One.
