Stardew Valley
Description
In Stardew Valley, players take the role of a character who, to get away from the hustle of the city, takes over their deceased grandfather's dilapidated farm in a place known as Stardew Valley. The game is open-ended, allowing players to take on several activities such as growing crops, raising livestock, crafting goods, mining for ores, selling produce, and socializing with the townsfolk, including marriage and having children. The game also allows up to three other players to play together online.
Barone developed the game by himself over four years. The game was heavily inspired by the Harvest Moon video game series, with additions to address some of the shortcomings of these games while using the opportunity as an exercise to improve his own programming and game design skills. Chucklefish approached Barone midway through development with the offer to publish the game, allowing him to focus more on completing it. Stardew Valley was both a critical and commercial success, selling over 10 million copies across all platforms by 2020.

The game is great with friends I love playing it with others right next to me. Other than that, I agree with some of the other reviews that this game could use some major improvements. They have relegated the extra power ups so that you only get them if you are in certain positions. So if you are in first you never get shells or invincibility stars or anything like that. So, holding onto the first position puts you at a disadvantage? I would think everyone behind you gunning for your spot was enough of a disadvantage.

I bought this game to have something to play with my family this winter vacation, I had already bought it before for wii u but wanted to see how much changed for this console, I must say that at least on TV it looks much better, it contains all the downloadable content of wiiu edition more a few tracks more, I have had hours of fun with my family and partner, if they have console switch the truth is that if I highly recommend this game. More controls to be able to play at least 4 people
