While in general I prefer to explore this kind of game unguided, Stardew Valley has so much in it that using the Wiki is a really good idea. The game is bigger than you'd expect, and you'll miss stuff without the Wiki.

Otherwise, it's a very lovely farming sim. The mechanism for slowly teasing out the backstorys of the NPCs is particularly fun. I also found that the length of in-game days was long enough to get things done, whilst being just slightly too short to finish everything you might want to do, which leads to wanting to play "one more day" for much longer than I ever planned to.

Now I'm looking forward to Haunted Chocolatier!
