Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

    I recently bought stardew valley and its fun but the farming grind feels kinda forced, no? I feel like I need to pay attention to not loose myself in the game which defeats the purpose.

    What is your experience there?

      I used to find it kinda stressful until i realised there was no time limit to the game like the usual harvest moons so once I realised that, I never find myself rushing around or overextending my ability to farm to grind more and just focused on what I was enjoying in the game which was a bit of everything.

      The grind is fun for me, but once you get through a few seasons there’s also so much time to explore and talk to the villagers

        Got it. Thanks for chiming in.

        I can imagine it gets better but the grind is kind of not for me. The mining and farming grind in minecraft I understand and the grind in factorio as well. Maybe its heightened due to the saving cycle that seems to want you to keep going.

      For me the game only became fun when I started playing with the wife, we split up tasks and got a lot more done and was much funner

      There are ways to play (besides mods) where you barely have to grow crops. Unless you’re trying for all the achievements there’s not really a wrong way or a time limit to play.
