It also fixes the bomb crash, disappearing chickens, and more. There will be further patches on console to fix additional bugs and get it in sync with where PC is at.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I bought Stardew Valley thinking I'd relax for an hour. That was January 2026. I have no idea what year it is anymore. The game starts innocently enough. You inherit a charming little farm, meet friendly townsfolk, pet some chickens, and think, "I'll just water my crops and then go to bed." That, my friends, was the first lie. Every in-game day ends with: "Okay, just one more day." Then suddenly you're optimizing sprinkler layouts like you're managing a Fortune 500 company. You're…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game, but please remember to go to bed before 2 either in the game or in real life.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stardew Valley is free to own (not a limited PS+ license) if you have a PS Vita and PS+ -Claim Stardew Valely (PS4 version) on PS+: buff.ly/oVgwxmL -Use a PS Vita and search for Stardew Valley. It'll be free via cross-buy. Can confirm game is not tied to PS+ once you claim it for free on Vita
unlabelledView post →Cant believe Stardew Valley is already 10 years old fr. 600mb+ is such a small file size, just a few mins to download. But at the same time, its also huge enough to contain the life Ive always dreamed of.

unlabelledView post →Wait a minute.. You can marry an NPC in Stardew Valley?! I need to play this game immediately
unlabelledView post →I was promised a relaxing game, instead, it made me learn Excel formulas and obsess over my farm like it's an actual job. And the worst part - I've enjoyed that.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initially, I wasn't interested in playing it. My friends highly recommended it and basically forced me to give it a try. The result? I am completely hooked. It really reminds me of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, giving me a great sense of nostalgia. On top of that, the game doesn't just focus on farming. You can actually go on adventures and fight monsters in the mines and other areas. I also enjoy the plot twists included in the game. The NPCs actually go about their daily routines, which…

unlabelledView post →I've been playing Stardew Valley for years, and recently came back to it again. Despite having hundreds of hours, I still haven't achieved all that much, and honestly, I think that's part of why I love it. Over the past few years, my mental and physical health have deteriorated a lot. I spend most of my days inside and often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and lacking the energy or motivation to do much of anything. I've stopped playing many of the bigger games I used to love because I feel too…

I heard it was just Animal Crossing with more game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't listen to anyone abt how to play the game. Learn it yourself and enjoy the game. Don't turn a chill farming life game into a chaotic mass production industrials aka "Jojo corp replica"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stardew Valley is the kind of game where you sit down to play a cute farming game for a little bit and suddenly it’s 2 a.m. and you’re emotionally invested in a town mayor who lost his shorts. I love this game and its community so much. 10/10 would abandon IRL responsibilities again!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stardew has gotten me through some of the worst depression I have ever been in. It's a "cozy" game but it does everything right. It's gentle, it's easy to play in the background, it's relaxing, it's not *completely* insultingly unchallenging. It's a fun, sweet little game. You already know all this though don't you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was first introduced to Stardew Valley during the pandemic, and found it to be charming and engaging. Returned to playing as it provides a refuge, an alternative, kinder world to visit when real life is less pleasant. Thoroughly enjoy.

unlabelledView post →Happy 10th Anniversary, Stardew Valley. It’s hard to believe this is my sixth year playing this game. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, ConcernedApe, but I need to say it anyway. Thank you for saving my life. Over the past six years, during countless moments when I felt like I couldn’t go on, when I wanted to disappear, your game healed me. It gave me warmth, strength, and a sense of connection. When I was disappointed in the world and in myself, Stardew Valley accepted me. It gave me…

unlabelledView post →The gold Standard of Cozy Gaming It is genuinely mind-blowing to think that Stardew Valley was created by just one person. When you compare it to other titles—which I won't name—that stay stuck in Early Access for years despite having entire studios behind them, Eric Barone’s achievement is even more impressive. This isn't just a farming sim; it is a labor of love that has become the definitive blueprint for what a "cozy game" should be. The beauty of Stardew is that the pacing is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stardew Valley is a very relaxing and therapeutic game. In it, you play as a farmer, primarily farming, fishing, raising animals, and gathering resources. You work from sunrise to sunset, without modern high-tech drones or automated farms; everything is primitive and simple, just like its pixelated art style. 星露谷物语是一款非常治愈放松的游戏，在游戏里，作为一位农夫，主要是耕种、钓鱼、养殖与收集，日出而作，日落而息，没有现代高科技的无人机和自动化农场，一切都原始而简朴，正如这像素风的美术。 Through countless days and nights in the game, I built friendships and even love with the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, so listen...I'm just a girl who loves her violent shooter games. Stardew is my first ever "chilled" game and with my very short attention span and need for something fast-paced, this game never failed to keep me interested or on my toes. Overall, it's fun and wholesome. It gets extra points for being co-op 'cause I get to play with my favorite person. GO BUY IT, GURLLL!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was developed with love and therefore deserves nothing less than a positive review.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A super fun game that I've dumped way too many hours into, across multiple platforms. I always find myself coming back to it every couple of months. Highly recommended.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely worth spending 1k hours in. It's calming, with a hint of panic when you run out of time while in the mines. The cozy vibe is therapeutic and really heals the inner OCD in me. It's fun playing by yourself and even more fun playing with friends, just don't bomb their crops too often <3

unlabelledView post →Genuinely a perfect game, no notes. If you ever get tired of the base game (somehow), there's an active and extremely friendly modding community that adds so so much to the game. Thank you Concerned Ape and the Stardew Valley team for all your hard work in making this amazing game <3

But one day I was so unbelievably bored that I thought, f*ck it- let's play Stardew Valley. My friends all love it so I might as well. I logged 14 hours the first time I opened the game. The thing is, I could play this game on repeat forever and doesn't even grace my top 3 games. It's fun, addictive, wholesome, somewhat dark…

unlabelledView post →Anyone who starts playing Stardew Valley and gets deeper into it will most certainly hear a phrase so often that they’ll maybe start to get a bit sick of it and hopefully even begin to question it: “there’s no wrong way to play the game.” And yea, I get what people mean by that, but with this review I want to give new players some honest advice, don’t take that statement too literally. But first off and this is really important to me, I absolutely adore Stardew Valley. It’s very close to a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1000/10 I love my creative, colorful, kind, smokin' hot wife Emily and my sexy, shy, scared husband Harvey. For real though, I was introduced to Stardew Valley in a dark part of my life, and since getting out of said dark part of life, I continue to sink hours upon hours into it. Why? I will first say that this is a farming and life simulator with magic and whimsical elements to it. The story is easy to understand, and the NPCs are delightful to talk to even years in a save. This game is…
