Stardew Valley (Switch)

Date Purchased: January 12, 2018
Date Completed: March 10, 2018
Price: $16.99 (Eshop)

After seeing this game at the top of the Switches best sellers list and being mildly intrigued I decided to give it a shot and downloaded it.  After a few "years" into the game I feel like I can adequately review it.  After looking at "howlongtobeat.com" I've determined the average play through is about 50 hours, that's roughly what I've put in.  

The game is a "farming simulator" first and foremost, there are other aspects to the game, walking around talking to NPC's, uncovering some of the mysteries of the valley, but frankly idgaf about those things.  My goal was simple, make a sweet ass farm.  I'm not saying those other aspects are bad, some people really love evolving digital relationships, just not me.

The first few seasons are a real grind and a lot of work, but also the most satisfying.  A couple "years" into the game I have irrigations systems in place, more money than I really know what to do with, and the game has since lost it's appeal.  I have a feeling I'll pick it up again one day, but I'm not lying when I say I'm enjoying my break.  

The game has incredible charm and considering I got 50 hours out of a $17 game, it's well worth your investment.  Recommend.
