How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Stardew Valley
You inherit an abandoned farm next to a small town. You plant, fish, explore mines, get to know the townsfolk and decide at your own pace what to do each day. An in-game day lasts about 15 real minutes, which makes it surprisingly flexible.
