If you haven't played Stardew valley then you have little to no idea what you're missing out on until you actually purchase and play Stardew Valley for yourselves.

Stardew Valley should be an ideal game on how a game should be made!.
Released in late February, the game is actually a love letter to the Harvest Moon series and which already has sold over half a million copies. It became so popular that even if the players who pirated this game started purchasing it in a legitimate way.
The story
It was also the same story in every Harvest Moon game: your grandpa has died and you must take over the farm. The plot of Stardew Valley is similar, but with a modern twist: you're leaving the rat race for rural living and the company you used to work for, Joja Corporation, is slowly encroaching on the town you're moving to.
In the game, Joja Corporation stands in for companies like Wal-Mart, and the idea that Joja Mart is threatening the local economy in Pelican Town gives your farming some purpose.
The marriage
You can choose between five bachelors and five bachelorettes when you play Stardew Valley. All of them are eligible for marriage regardless of gender. Even though it sounds simple, Harvest Moon was missing this feature. It also gives the game an even more modern, updated feel.
