Stardew Valley multiplayer review:

-very fun because the game is very fun. Definitely a good way and good reason to get back into one of the GOATs

-much less hardcore than the single player game. Beyond the obvious stuff about how much easier it is to make money when you can delegate duties (e.g. one of you can fish all day for extra seed money while the other one works the farm), there are little things in the game that just make it a lot easier. If you sit in your bed you get energy back and then you can get back to work! I also passed out on purpose to see what would happen and I just wound up back in my bed getting energy back. Very odd.

-I definitely consider this to be secondary to the single player. It's like a non-canon bonus mode to me because it becomes more about just doing what you feel like doing than sticking to the game plan you've made for yourself for a given day

-I think long term goals would be challenging in this mode unless you're all veteran players. Not because resource gathering isn't much easier in co-op - it is - but because you share money and resources and people just do what they want with it. At one point my friend just started building a bunch of walkways. We ran out of almost all the stone we had built up over like three game days because I didn't stop him. Now when we have to build something that requires a lot of stone it's going to be annoying. By the end of our sesh I was in control of the financial and crafting decisions but we'll see how long that lasts

-Further into the non-canon aspect of it, I barely spent any time talking to the townsfolk this time. For some reason having another farmer running around made it seem more like a waste of time. I don't really know why

That's all I can think to say right now. I'll happily "field" any questions
