Being able to pick up and play the game for a quick bus ride allows you to get in a quick meeting with a couple of people or take care of some light farming. Then you can play at home and enjoy it on a TV screen to really absorb yourself in the adventure. Stardew Valley was a top-notch game on PC and on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 before -- but it feels truly at home on the Switch. Anyone who loved Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon will get a lot out of it. Even if you haven't played those games, if you want a good adventure that has some drama, humor and a slice of real life thrown in, give Stardew Valley a shot.You're told what your first harvest should involve, given clear instructions on how to go from step one to two to three, and then accumulate money over time as the crop builds up and generates more income for you. The game can be a pure farming simulator if you'd like it to be, but the game encourages you to do more than that by showing off how physically tiring the act of farming is. If you do it too much, you'll pass out and have to be brought back to safety at your own expense -- something you want to avoid having to do since money can be quite scarce, especially early on. Stardew Valley's learning curve is gradual, and there are many small ways to make money that are reliable. Beyond farming, you can destroy trees and bushes to harvest material that you can ship out for small amounts of money. These methods won't make you rich, but will ensure that you always have some spending money for the essentials. Fishing is another great way to make money, and it's a lot of fun to cast a line out, feel the fish biting, and then hit the Y button to activate a mini-game when you've got a live one. Mashing buttons with a bit of rhythm is the name of the game here, and Stardewvpedia.Com can net you some big rewards without taking up a ton of time. On the second day on the farm, you'll receive a letter in the mail from Willy, the owner of the Fish Shop on the beach. If you go to talk to him before 5:00 PM, he'll give you a Bamboo Pole, the most basic fishing rod, for free.
