Stardew Valley

The award-winning game, Stardew Valley, has been recognized for its breakthrough gameplay and has been nominated for Game of the Year at the 2017 BAFTA Games Awards. This game allows players to build and customize their own dream farm, turning overgrown fields into a lively and bountiful space. With a variety of seasonal crops and happy animals to raise and breed, players can design their farm to their liking.

In addition to farming, players can also customize their farmer and home with hundreds of options to choose from. They can even settle down and start a family with 12 potential marriage candidates. To become a part of the community, players can participate in seasonal festivals and complete quests for villagers.

But farming isn't the only activity in Stardew Valley. Players can also explore vast, mysterious caves filled with dangerous monsters and valuable treasure. For a more relaxing experience, they can spend an afternoon fishing or crabbing by the seaside. And for those who enjoy cooking, they can forage, grow crops, and produce artisan goods to create delicious meals.

The game has been rebuilt for touch-screen gameplay on iOS, with mobile-specific features such as auto-select to quickly switch between farming tools and auto-attack to defeat monsters in the mines. The game also has an auto-save feature, so players can pick up where they left off even if they close the app. There are multiple control options, including touch-screen and virtual joystick, allowing players to customize their gameplay experience.

The game has recently been updated with new single player content, including town upgrades, dating events, crops, fishing ponds, hats, clothing, and pets. And according to reviews, Stardew Valley is a must-have game. TouchArcade calls it "absolutely incredible," IGN praises its combination of farm simulation and RPG elements, Giant Bomb says it's "filled with seemingly endless content and heart," and The Telegraph describes it as "accessible and satisfying." CG Magazine even calls it the "most rich and heartwarming experience" they've had in a game in years.

It's important to note that the game features new 1.6 update story content, but multiplayer functionality is not supported. And there are no in-app purchases, making it a complete and immersive gaming experience. So whether you're a fan of farming, RPGs, or just looking for a heartwarming game, Stardew Valley is sure to impress.
