Stardew Valley Original Release: 2015 Year Played: 2016 Developer: ConcernedApe Platform: PC There are plenty of indie games out there at the moment which try, but fail, to be love letters to classic 80s or 90s games. I've featured a few of those on this list, and nearly all of them are marked pretty low. Stardew Valley is a game that feels like this to Harvest Moon, but it actually turns out to be better! Better than even the SNES and 64 renditions of HM. I haven't played any of the new ones nor have I played Rune Factory because I never liked the direction the series took. But yeah, this is basically the best Harvest Moon game to date. It takes everything that made those games great up to eleven. Not to mention you can even mod this game. It's just so deep, and there are plenty of things to do. You can spend all day working on your farm or you can go to the town and work on a budding romance or you can gather various plants to sell them off for money or you can go do the mine. The mine is a 100+ floor randomly generated dungeon with simple combat mechanics where you can gather rare artifacts or materials. On top of romancing the different women of the town, you can also befriend almost all of the different townspeople who have multiple layers of personality to them as well. The game's incredibly rewarding, no matter what you do. Yeah, there's a main storyline involving either helping the local Wal Mart expand their business or deciding that they're a bunch of pricks and helping the town by restoring the museum instead. These plots move too slow however, and like Harvest Moon the game is endless no matter what. The story isn't what this game is about. Instead, grow your farm, get married and raise a family, and be the person your grandfather wanted to me. I should also mention that you have a ton of land for your farm and you can make some cool designs to share. For example, look at this one: https://www.imgur.com/gallery/ND2lnp9 Stardew Valley is a perfect example of what happens when an indie game inspired by another classic game is done right. <cite>Haunter12O posted [p:900627348] in Haunter ra...
