If you enjoyed Harvest Moon you'll probably love this game. It is a lot more customizable than HM though.

It is a farm sim, you can build in your farm: paths, decorations and some utility items, barns and coops. mine for gems and ores while fighting monsters (combat is simple), fish in lakes, rivers and the ocean.

There are skills with perks once certain levels are reached, and leveling them up unlocks crafting recipies.

I love that there are some secrets scatterred arround in the game and that every NPC has a story and schedule for the week and each season.

The developer is also active and making this game better with some updates.

- Edit 10/11/2016:

As of v. 1.1 there are multiple farm layouts that you can choose in the start of the game; a shed that you can build to store chests or utility/processing blocks for animal products (cheese, mayo, etc); and a mill among other things.

There are many ways to play this game, there is not exactly and end to it, because once "finished" you can choose to keep playing on your farm. The new farm layouts brought some more replayability, but the most amazing thing for me is still improving your famr little by little every game day and unfolding the story of Stardew Valley.
