10 Best RPGs On Nintendo Switch

Stardew Valley is home. After the death of your grandpa, you take over his farm and start a life for yourself that most games could only wish to offer.

Stardew Valley doesn’t have the graphics of some of the games on this list, the deep skill tree or intricate combat system. Instead, it’s a 16-bit relaxing and fulfilling masterpiece.

The game is heavily inspired by Harvest Moon, however Stardew Valley simply does everything better with more engaging gameplay, exploration options and town development. Stardew Valley feels alive - you watch it grow and if you try, you can genuinely integrate yourself into the town. It’s not just a farming simulator or an ode to capitalism by simply farming for money, but a quaint journey that will not only keep you occupied for well over 100 hours, but has excellent replayability.

Stardew Valley allows you to truly become your own person in game, absorbing and full of charm from start to end. It’s one of the decade’s best gaming experiences.
