Stardew Valley
Yes, indie darling Stardew Valley released on PC back in February, but December did see the farming sim title make its way to the Xbox One and PS4. Allowing players to channel their inner farmer, Stardew Valley leaves you to restore and develop the abandoned farming plot left to you by your grandfather. It’s down to you to tend to the livestock and crops, go mining for minerals and ores, court one of the townsfolk, and fill the museum with rare objects.
Stardew Valley is one of those games that’ll have you saying ‘just one more go’ about five times before you actually do put your controller down. Its grind is satisfyingly rewarding, and simply exploring the town is a delight. With its retro visuals and charming story, Stardew Valley is definitely worth checking out for all Xbox One and PS4 owners out there, even if it has taken some time to finally arrive.
