I’m gonna go against the grain here and say: if you have lots of stuff to do, stay away from crackdew valley

You’ve never played Stardew? Oh, you’re in for a treat. One of my favourite games of all time.

I didn’t like Ori, though. Too difficult, for one thing. It has these especially frustrating escape sequences. It was a pretty game, but that wasn’t enough to make me enjoy it.

Can’t recommend Stardew valley enough.

Stardew valley is great, no regrets! Also it has a good mod community. (both game extensions and qol stuff)

I am going to defend ori, at least the first one. Played and finished that.

Ori is a visually beautiful game and although there were some annoying sections I admit, the game has a very forgiving checkpoint system and before you know it you’ll be chain jumping and platform “surfing” in no time.

I also like how they incorporated the game theme music throughout the game, but that is my personal thing

Compared to something like Hollow Knight, which is a also a brilliant game, Ori felt easier or at least provided an easier means for me to fail until I succeed at least.

Stardew Valley is one of those “you never knew you’d enjoy until the game gets its claws in you”, and it pretty open to how you want to approach it be a farmer, a rancher, miner, explorer, fisherman, valley garden instrument, corporate sellout and I am sure I am missing more
