Most of these tasks would become old quickly if you did only that, but the need to change up your activities keeps things from becoming stale, and there’s usually more to them than it initially seems.
It’s relaxed, sure, and lets you grow at your own pace, but it’s a rich world once you get past the slow first season. Fitting, since my character had just left a stifling job at the Joja Corporation - Stardew Valley’s ever-present reminder that capitalism can grow soulless - for a simpler life on grandpa’s old farm. Having to plant the right seeds, water your crops, and wait for the harvest before making any real money means there’s not a lot to do right away. Each day in Stardew Valley takes around 10 to 20 real minutes, and several of them are occupied by the slow business of starting a farm from scratch. As I ventured off my plot of 16-bit land and started to explore, I began to really enjoy the days for everything they are - and how its parts fit together to build a captivating rural life. But the secret of the Valley is that it’s much more than making each day productive on the farm alone. It’s not apparent at first - when I started my farm, I planned each tile for maximum efficiency and reset when I accidentally bought the wrong seeds. My favorite thing about Stardew Valley is not just that there’s a lot to see and do, but that it’s (almost) all intertwined.
