Just glad to know it's still kicking around. Ape managed to kickstart an entire generation of cozy games, while remaining the best among them. As long as its still cooking, I'm sure it'll be great when it comes out.
I don't know what you're talking about. Stardew Valley is the most anxiety filled game I've ever played. 100s of goals, each with many codependencies and individual time constraints, all to be completed within a 2 year window.
Can’t you keep playing after the two years? I’ve barely scratched the surface of Stardew Valley.
You absolutely can. My partner is in year 4. Any stress in stardew valley is self-imposed
You can but if you want to get a perfect score at the evaluation after year 2 you need to complete the community center and meet a few other requirements. You can reevaluate at any time after the 2 years but it's more interesting to do it within the original time limit.
That's the weird thing about SV. There are no time constraints or missable items or events of any significance, but it FEELS like there are. Anecdotally, the disparity seems to happen to traditional "gamer" gamers vs casual "once in a while" gamers. I always see the latter taking their time and enjoying the little things about the game, but myself and my other friends that play games regularly tend to take it too seriously and worry about the time constraints far too much. Still a fantastic game, would recommend to people that like farming games.
I find the length of the day to be a huge constraint, especially when mining.
