My final opinion of Stardew Valley mobile

Take the train to the Stardew Valley farm that your grandfather left you. As well as renovating and developing the farm, you'll meet the locals, explore the mine and take part in the events that punctuate the years.

True, Stardew Valley doesn't revolutionise the codes of the farm-based life sim. Crafting, fishing, farming, the character relationship system... It's all there, but it's all a success. You'll quickly get caught up in the town's story, and developing your farm will quickly become addictive.

Stardew Valley shines above all for the diversity and richness of the content it offers, without ever feeling overwhelming. I reckon you'll need around a hundred hours to discover everything the game has to offer, exploring at your own pace and under no pressure.

Another reason why I'm so positive about Stardew Valley mobile is the quality of the port. It's true that mobile updates are slow to arrive. On the other hand, the interface and controls have been intelligently thought out. For example, the game automatically selects the tool you need to interact with your environment, and there's an auto mode for mine battles.

And even if multiplayer isn't available on mobile, you can always turn to the unofficial mod on Android.

Stardew Valley is also one of our top offline games, all the more reason to give it a try!
