Great review. Dropping a comment to support the channel in hope for wider reach :)

this video got me to locate my bluetooth headset so that I can actually focus on listening to it all

as a long-time stardewer this is making me itch to get back into the groove of playing the game (it's 1am and I am dead tired), to the point where I found myself getting sad abt the meadow farm not yet being available on mobile

anyway, such a fantastic video and I will certainly look into your other videos once I've slept

This review made me want to get this game & it’s the first to do so.
All other reviews were praising it surface level because it’s popular & it got them views and likes by people that like the game but your review is very sincere and genuine. Thank you for that

Amazing job on this video. Thanks for making me even more excited to play this game. I'm just still waiting for the console update.

Great review. Quality video review for a quality game.

This is one of THE BEST reviews of any game that I have ever seen/listened to. I hope that ConcernedApe sees this! Keep up the great work man. (:

My friends have been recommending me this game for ages
Because of you I’ll get it today :)

I got introduced to this game on The Apple Arcade at first and then bought it for 4.99. I can say that I probably never would have tried it if it wasn’t on mobile and I’m glad I tried it and now I have it installed on my PC.

I bought this on PC and Android. Gotta admit, I enjoy it more on Android. It's the perfect game on handheld/mobile because you just play it anytime. My only small criticism (or yapping because this game is so good) is that Android is on 1.5.

Great video

Reaching the Summit for true perfection is the definitive end you're looking for. Its far more satisfying than grandpa coming down and telling you that you did well.
Past that I find that the Joja mart route has way too many upsides compared to the community center, I really think concerned ape needs to balance it so joja has cheap seeds that may die and never yield gold quality crops and that if you did the community center you would get a crafting recipe or a passive buff that makes autopetters only useful for sheep and convenient for everything else.

I was never really able to get immersed in the world of stardew valley, the villagers are way to one note, and I honestly dislike most of them. Thats why I dont find selling out to Joja to be a difficult moral dilemma.

Great review! One of my favourite channels!

Bump

Man I wish Stardew Valley had some toggle to make the clock pass slower to give you more time to do things. My Time in Portia had that feature and it made playing the game infinitely less stressful.

Stardew Valley is a gem. So much gameplay, so much depth and so much joy in one place. While other games I love are being destroyed by corporate greed, Concerned Ape is constantly adding free content to his lovely project. Perfection! Thanks for the lovely video!

Great review! Ty very much !

Its my fav phone game next to bloons and for 5$ its a steal

Commenting for the algorithm.

The whole rant at around 25 minutes about how stardew is too complicated makes you sound like a pleb. Complaints like this are why we rarely get good videogames anymore.

I hope you get a lot of views, this game is fantastic

Great review as always. Gotta admit I never paid Stardew Valley any attention cause I just assumed its popularity was from the ultra casual Farmville crowd latching onto it, but I may actually give it a try at some point now.

Was not expecting you of all people to talk about this game, but welcome none the less. :)

Play Rune Factory 5 instead.

I love the art style of the game. Combined with modern game elements and UI, this is the best.

i think more than anything im consistently impressed by the quality of your writing. Its very emotional and evocative and significantly lifts up your reviews. It reminds me of noah caldwell-gervais in terms of going beyond pure critique and leaning almost into novelization. Feels like you're listening to an excerpt from a book about someone's experience playing the game, how it made them feel, etc. as opposed to a simple review.

All that is to say, keep up the good work and look forward to your future content. I hope your channel grows commensurate with its quality.
