It is a chaotic, strange game with a lot of lore Andalusian. Its levels, the platform and the final bosses are really well cared for. reward exploration and it has some very detailed scenarios. This "Castlevania made in Spain" can entertain you for many hours while you overcome its complicated levels —and die over and over again.
Stardew Valley
Although it is rare that you do not know it, in a few years, Stardew Valley has become one of the best resource management video games of all times. And it has a lot of merit, because the entire game is produced by a single person. Each graphic, line of code, or title song is the creation of Eric Barone, commonly by his alias, ConcernedApe. This magnum opus of a single person gives the video game a cohesion that is already rare to see in projects created by multinational developers.
To clarify, Stardew Valley is a tribute to Harvest Moon- The creator himself stated that he developed the game as a continuation fan game of the saga, since it had lost quality since its edition Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. If you played this saga in the nineties, you will remember what endearing and frustrating at the same time which were some game mechanics. Stardew Valley improved that: although you still start with an abandoned farm that you inherited from your grandfather, they have improved details such as the health bar, the interactions with the neighbors - although they are still materialists who like little gifts too much - and the lore, which has expanded, creating its own original universe.
If you fear getting bored with a farming simulator, you're lucky: not everything is plowing en Stardew Valley. You can also enter the mines to find minerals with which craft tools and weapons with which to fight underground monsters. The game pays tribute to the mining expeditions of Minecraft and it improves the (somewhat boring) cave levels that were in the original Harvest Moon. If you get bored of chopping or watering, you can spend the day fishing, collecting materials in the wild, cooking, visiting the city, or simply talking with the townspeople. Stardew Valley it's an open game and, although it has objectives that you can set yourself as a goal, it is a video game that leaves you develop an adventure at your own pace and as you prefer. A very tempting option after a long day of responsibilities and deadlines.
