10 Video Games That Will Consume Your Life
7. Stardew Valley
A little indie game that took the gaming world by storm back in 2016, Stardew Valley was a welcome return to a more relaxed and cosy style of game-play. Who needs adrenaline fuelled gun battles or high-octane combat mechanics when you could just water a field of crops, or tend to your barn full of cows?
Whilst it may look all cute and innocent on the surface, Stardew Valley is an insidiously addictive game that will consume your every waking hour if you let it. Your daily list of tasks starts small, like tending to chickens and harvesting crops, but as time goes on, that list only gets larger and more demanding.
Before long, your farm has tripled in size, your task list is as long as your arm and you've now got a spouse that needs constant love and affection. Somehow this cute little farming game has taken roots in your psyche and refuses to let go, keeping you enslaved in this humble and idyllic lifestyle.
Despite its nefarious allure, Stardew Valley is an absolute joy to play and something that appeals to both casual and hardcore gamers alike.
