But based on my research, it's a lot like Moonlighter, which I really liked.

Moonlighter is a roguelite with shopkeeping aspects. Whatever you find for in the monster-filled dungeons, you go back to your town as a shopkeeper and sell thosr items for cash. The cash goes to upgrading armor, weapons, etc.

Is Stardew Valley kind of like this too?

Yeah except you're going to be spending more money on building your farm. Stardew has armor and weapons and they're important but not the main focus.

Never heard of moonlighter.

Anyway, its harvest moon with some light dungeon crawling. Its not a rogue-like.

Also its better than most harvest moon games, so i'd recommend it.

I wouldnt say they are similar. I think his second game may be a bit closer (Haunted Chocolatier) but it hasnt released yet and was only recently announced.

Stardew Valley is more a farming Sim where you plant and water crops while designing your farm and forming relationships with the villagers (through gifts)

there is a combat aspect to the mines but its very simplistic and a minor part of the game.

It's only like moonlighter in that there's a dungeon you go into. The items you get in the dungeons in Stardew can be sold for money but it isn't like a shop you're running like it is in Moonlighter. Although it's been a long time since I played Moonlighter.

Stardew is probably more like Animal Crossing (which I never played.)

Stardew is a great game and super relaxing.

That doesn't sound any thing like Stardew Valley.

The characters are a lot deeper than the Harvest Moons games. I never played Moonlighter.

But, it's a more mature Harvest Moon. Once I played it, I realized HM didn't really have anything to offer anymore. That's a lie. I tried played a HM game after and it was bad. That what put the nail in the coffin. HM survives off nostalgia and nothing else imo. They don't even try with their games. They're all basically HM64 still.

In my very brief time trying this game, I remember feeling incredibly rushed and always pressed for time. It seemed roughly timescale 60 (that is, one minute passes in the game for every second of real time)? Regardless, it didn't feel like the relaxing chill experience I was expecting to have with a game like this.

Thats what its like for me too. I try to get s*** done as soon as possible and maximise my time.

But you dont have to play it that way. You dont run out of money or game over so you could literally plant one crop a day and go watch the river and theres no punishment for it

I just wanted to farm turnips and maybe go murder bats or bears or something while waiting on crops.
Instead, my guy just kinda passed out in the garden, and I never did get to beat up any bats before getting bored and playing something else.

Also I'm never going to give any shits for any of those characters, but the game really really wants me to.
thus, obligatory ProZD

You only feel rushed if ur trying to minmax or some shit and this is not the game for that for the most part (unless thats what you want to do)

You legit just play. For me the issue was just having to grind in general.

But I recommend at least playing thru the first 3-4 seasons

I'm very confused by how you were playing the game then, because there wasn't a time limit on anything. What would possibly make you feel rushed?

Uhh, having a ingame clock on the screen that shows time passing by very quickly? I thought I went over this already.

And the game does have a fatigue system and missable timed events, from what I understand.

I mean, to make a comparison, I wouldn't have liked Majora's Mask nearly as much as I do if it didn't have the Inverted Song of Time (which is why I feel the typical complaint about how players can completely miss the fact that it even exists is a perfectly valid complaint of the game; it and the Song of Double Time are important enough to the game's enjoyment that they really should have been automatically revealed to the player in the course of normal gameplay, not reliant on you having to talk to some inanimate scarecrow that you might not have seen or known was interactable). Without it, its clock also passes by a bit too quickly to make the game feel comfortable to play. You could similarly argue that having to play with faster time isn't that big a deal because you can always just reset the 3-day cycle anyway and try again, but can you really say that this still wouldn't make the average gamer feel rushed anyway?

Nothing is missable. Having time go by means nothing when you cant miss anything and there is no hard deadline.

Those several sources are wrong then. There is nothing in the game that's missable, both times I've played I completed all content usually around 2 to 3 years of in-game time.

Anything you "miss" will just come around again, you can quickly skip days where nothing important is happening as well.

This was my issue. There would be 1-2 things I wanted to get done each day along with some light exploring of the town and the fatigue system said nope, I'm going to have you burn out around dinner time. Make me feel very rushed like I couldn't just explore and enjoy things are my own pace. I'm assuming I can eventually upgrade that to have more stamina.

Good to know nothing is missable and I shouldn't worry about getting a ton of things done each day. Might give the game another try now.

? Fatigue? You can run around indefinately. If you are talking about running out of stamina in the mines, bring food.

No I mean the energy bar. If it runs out, you start walking very slowly. It drains doing anything including just running around the town so it feels like you're rushed to barely get one thing done each day. I didn't have any money for food to replenish the energy bar cause I spent my money on seeds. Keep in mind, this was the first week of the game so it might just be like that at first.

Ugh. Unless a game has a means of quickly skipping forward that many days (without consequences), no thanks.
