Never played Stardew Valley
I've played the shit out of friends of mineral town, started over and played the shit out of it again. Repeat that at least 3 times. And then I tried the DS versions, it didn't do anything to me. It feels like all the magic is gone and everything felt like a chore and then i never really expanded on that universe anymore...
Rune Factory is the gud shit tho! Every tried that one? It's like Harvest Moon + battle RPG. The worst part of Rune factory is that if you've played the sequels, you can't really play the 1st one anymore since it's just so inferior. To really enjoy them fully you need to play them in chronological order. (I played them in chronological order, and I tried the old ones back... Boi that was boring af compared to the newer ones)
