    It really isn’t for everyone. I tried it and hated every minute of it, super-stressful and tedious and returned it (one of only a handful of games in my Steam collection of a few hundred) because it was advertised as relaxing when it is anything but.

      That’s funny, I didn’t like it because it was too relaxing. I like games that take a lot of focus and concentration, but stardew valley didnt do it for me.

        I mean judging by the comments people get when they say it is too stressful it could also be considered too relaxing. They always claim everything is optional and that somehow makes the game relaxing but even if I try to do just one of the things I could do the energy and slow walking and passing out mechanics still make it about as relaxing as getting something done in another game while some PvP griefers keep sniping my character randomly in the middle of tasks. At that rate not playing the game is infinitely more relaxing than playing it and just not doing anything at all.
