Stardew Valley

If you’re looking for a more relaxing game, this is where you should start. Stardew Valley begins with your character inheriting an old farm near the small town of Pelican Town. From there, you’re free to decide what kind of life you want to build.

You can grow crops and raise animals as your farm expands. The nearby mines provide resources and even monsters to fight, while fishing gives you another way to earn money. And if it ever gets a bit repetitive, you can always start crafting and gradually unlock more ways to automate parts of your farm.

There’s also an entire town filled with characters to meet. The residents are friendly and interesting; you can build relationships with them and eventually even marry one.

This is a very relaxing game, but it’s hardly ever boring. There are tons of things to do, and there are different seasonal festivals and small stories that make you go back for more.

All in all, the amount of content you get for one purchase is impressive. You can play casually for a few minutes or spend an evening trying to squeeze as much work as possible into each day in the game. You can craft your own items, story, and even love life. The more creative you get, the more fun you’ll have.
