Stardew Valley works because every day is small and every season adds up: a field to water, a town to get to know, a mine to go one floor deeper into. These keep that rhythm, some by farming and some by running a shop, a boat or a graveyard instead.
8 picks, each at the cheapest price we have read from any store today. Stardew Valley’s own price and history →
$5.99 −80% at GOG
Swaps the farm for a workshop. You take commissions, build machines and rebuild a town's bridges, with the same daily loop of gathering, crafting and visiting neighbours.
$9.84 −75% at Green Man Gaming
Portia's sequel, set in a dusty frontier town where water is scarce. Bigger, with a stronger story and a livelier cast.
$4.19 −79% at GOG
Stardew's loop turned dark and funny: you tend a medieval graveyard, and the crafting trees run as deep as any farm's. Pick it if you enjoyed optimising more than the romance.
$4.49 −85% at Humble
You farm, cook and build on a boat that ferries spirits to the afterlife. A gentle management game about saying goodbye, and the most affecting game here.
$2.46 −88% at Green Man Gaming
A shopkeeper by day and a dungeon crawler by night. Pricing your loot for the shelves scratches the same itch as Stardew's shipping bin.
$4.50 −77% at Green Man Gaming
A first-person ranch of bouncing slimes whose plorts you sell. Very little danger and a strong pull to stay for one more day.
$9.47 −53% at Green Man Gaming
Mine-first: you dig out of a cave into an underground world, then farm, fish and cook between bosses. Up to eight players in co-op.
$6.99 −65% at GOG
Gathering, crafting and buying new land at a much quicker pace. For the player who loved planning the most efficient farm.
