TLDR: Mechanics are bad/unclear, tutorial vaguely explains everything, don't be tricked by how nice the game looks! If you pay more for $5 for the full game you're getting scammed. Read details below.

I was so excited to try this game!
The game looked really fun online, seemed like a relaxing strategy game. It's not!
No matter how beautiful a game looks, if it has bad/confusing mechanics and barely a tutorial explaining them, it's not a good game no matter how you dress it up!

After playing the tutorial, which is very vague even though it was supposedly "updated". It's unclear how to raise tiles, avoid the flood, where do you place the houses in the tutorial so they don't flood? I couldn't even get to the part where I found the purpose in creating synergies, placing houses, using river tiles, or any of it because of how bad the tutorial is. Sure, I could go ahead and look up some online tutorials for more information on how to play this, but the tutorial itself even made me uninterested with the game. I uninstalled this game pretty much same day.

Tired of your Aunt Deborah sending you Farmville requests over Facebook leading to you creating a variety of excuses why you can't play with her while trying not to make Thanksgiving dinner awkward because you still want some cash out of your granpappy's will? Oddly specific, but this might be the game for you!

Avoid all social interactions with friends, family, loved ones, and even your pets all while immersing yourself in a world of virtual friends, family, and pets. Get lost in the endless day to day activities this game has and completely forget about the activities you were supposed to do in real life. You'll be picking virtual corn, yoink'n your cow's virtual utters, catching squids that look like penises, and not once stopping to put up with Aunt Deborah and her bs (yeah F you Aunt Deborah).

If Runescape, Minecraft, Terraria, and Farmville all dumped a hot DNA dookey load into my computers disk drive, slammed it shut n booted it up, you'd be playing Stardew Valley. And if that doesn't make you want to play this game, then idk what will.
