Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.
Stardew Valley by a long shot.
Hollow Knight is up there too.
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?
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
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.
There is sort of a time limit though, you get your “review” at the end of the second year (at which point no new events happen). Also getting things planted in time for when the seasons change etc is kind of time-limiting.
But that’s all detail, it’s great that people can enjoy it without time pressures!
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
