Are you a gamer who is tired or bored of the same classic video games? If you are, then this new video game is for you! This game is called Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley was created by Eric Barone, also known by his alias Concerned Ape. Concerned Ape is an American video game developer, video game designer, artist, composer, and musician, but he is best known for his video game Stardew Valley.

The game was originally released February 26, 2016. It was also released to most of the known platforms, such as; PC/Mac/Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation VITA, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android.

The video game is currently rated Everyone 10+. Until recently, players could only play by themselves, which meant that it was a fairly safe game for children to play. This is appropriate considering the genre(s) are Simulation and role-playing.

Stardew Valley is an open-ended Country-life RPG! You’ve inherited your grandfather’s old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home?

The best way to get started with Stardew Valley as a beginner is to learn the controls and familiarize yourself with the tools and mechanics. You can do this by heading outside your house on the first day, switching between your tools and experimenting with them- pickaxe for rocks, axe for wood, scythe for grass.

Stardew Valley has a 9.5 rating and a very pleasing review from one of the players said: “Stardew Valley is like a black hole. It sucks you in. This game is amazing and endlessly entertaining. It’s like a wish come true.” Based on that, it’s very fortunate to say that this is an extremely popular game with so many happy and entertained players!

Currently, Stardew Valley costs $14.99. It can be found as low as $7.49, but $14.99 is not such a terrible price. To add to that deal, the game has no in-app purchases! Once you download the game you can play however you want without worrying about paying for something in the app itself.

At first glance, this game may be a video game that attracts your attention. That attraction can be a very fortunate thing as it may lead to you falling in-love and playing it all the time!

Would anyone be open to trying out the video game Stardew Valley and working on some farming skills?
