Forager vs Stardew Valley: Which Game Is Better?

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 check out here 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 can net you some big rewards without taking up a ton of time.

Fishing in the game reminds me a lot of Animal Crossing, where it's a task that I normally wouldn't enjoy in a game -- but it's done so well here that it works. Animal Crossing added a lot of comedy to catching fish, while Stardew focuses on bringing the relaxing nature of fishing to a video game. It's just you, a body of water, your fishing rod, and a bit of relaxation. It's easy to find yourself closing yours eyes and just relying on your sense of touch to tell when you've got a bite -- then you have to get back into the in-game world and reel that fish in to see what you've nabbed. Big fish are rare, but small fish can still net you some money consistently, and be found pretty much anywhere you can fish. It's a tranquil experience, and one that not only brings out the fun of real-life fishing -- but also manages to make it fun as a game mechanic.

The adventure begins innocently enough, with your self-crafted character beginning by taking over his grandfather's land - but having to pick up everything from scratch. You didn't inherit his farming talent, or seemingly, any social skills as it's all too easy to just wander into folks' houses and be informed that you simply aren't good enough friends with them to barge into their rooms. It's soul-crushing, but a fun reminder that what may be appropriate in 99% of RPGs created over the past 30 years is actually a terrible invasion of one's privacy and personal space. Seeing a farming simulator may be intimidating at first, but Stardew Valley introduces you into that aspect of things gradually and explains it with a great amount of ease.

There is an overarching narrative to the adventure and it's one of just living a life, interacting with people, building bonds, and forging friendships. Obstacles have to be overcome, but doing favors for people and generally being someone they can rely on to perform a task will go a long way towards gaining trust. The sense of community here is very much like Animal Crossing, where you eventually get a sense for the personalities of the townspeople and learn about their lives. In that regard, it goes far beyond Animal Crossing by exploring things like fears, mortality, and wanting to have a legacy to pass onto others. The game is very much an allegory for life in that regard, and its moments of reflection make the player do the same.
