As a long-time Stardew Valley fan, I never thought I'd find a game that could capture my heart quite the same way. Fields of Mistria has done just that. I'm honestly blown away by how good this game is
note: just a random fan, have nothing to do with this game at all. It kinda saddens me that it hasn't gotten as much attention though, there are so many mediocre games with soooo many reviews.. this game is legit insane. it's gorgeous!!
Edit: Concerned Ape must've seen my post, and now Stardew Valley has a midweek deal for -50% off LMFAO you cannot make this up
Farmville was a shitty knockoff of harvest moon.
It was, but the important thing is that it was conveniently located inside of Facebook, and generic enough that it grabbed people's attention, which is exactly what you need sometimes. When it's too niche or specific, that's when people lose interest. That's why fields of mistria is not necessarily as popular. It's a little bit more niche and specific, with magic and washed out color theme, pastel colors, appealing to the cozy gaming crowd. And that's okay! Not every game needs to be so generic that it appeals to everyone
