As a kid I loved Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life on GameCube (and still do) but for the longest time I never found a farm sim game that captured my heart since. Stardew Valley surpassed that love, significantly.

I love everything about this game, the art style, how the farming works, the events, the mining, the various side locations, the dungeons, and of course the characters and the music.

Stardew Valley is one of if not the most cozy and charming games I've ever played.
