Stardew Valley stands as the benchmark for contemporary farming sims. Its successes command a level of influence that rivals two AAA releases that continue to shape gaming trends years after their release: Nintendo's The L egend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The game's charm and sustained, free support from developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone have earned the title dedicated fans and near-universal acclaim. Over five years after its release, Stardew Valley continues to evolve and delight digital anglers, adventurers, and agriculturalists.
