A Relaxing Social Experience
Despite the relative shortness of Stardew Valley’s days, working in Pelican Town and its surrounding countryside is mostly relaxing. After players develop their personal flow and routine, fulfilling the day’s obligations becomes a meditative romp through Stardew Valley’s beautiful, SNES-inspired world. Becoming immersed in Stardew Valley is a risk that threatens your real life, and the compelling qualities of the game suck hours away like few others can. Having fun is never a waste of time, but living these long hours with friends would certainly make the experience more valuable.
Leisurely checking off daily objectives with friends would be a peaceful way of spending time together and would help the game’s boring tasks be more enjoyable. As a purely social experience, Stardew Valley multiplayer has extreme value. If you and some friends all start a farm together, countless hours will inevitably be spent managing and designing it.
