Everything needs not be Dark Souls, La-Mulana, or Ninja Gaiden. Playing at your own pace is not a bad thing. Compared to other life simulations out there, Farm Together is the easiest one because it is aimed at casual players. Or anyone really who has another person to share the farming, the crafting, and the raising of animals. Release Date: Ap(PC) / J(Nintendo Switch, PS4) / J(Xbox One) / Novem(iOS) / Decem(Android)įarm Together is for those parents who want to play Stardew Valley with their children.
These skills are categorized into four: Foraging, Magic, Economy, and Industry.

There is a skill tree here, so you have to upgrade your sword or your shovel, your backpack, or your controlled character himself. You open lots one by one and the objective is to clear to move on from one to another efficiently. You pulverize rocks and harvest plants to upgrade your equipment so that you can clear the maps quickly. You start on a small island and craft your way into better equipment. Aside from crafting and building, there are heavy “gamey” elements like branching skill progression and bite-sized levels.ĭue to its bite-sized levels, Forager does not have the overwhelming grind most people do not like with farming and life sims. It is also inspired by Terraria and Minecraft.
Release Date: Aug(PC) / Febru(Nintendo Switch)įorager is a unique game in this list because it is not just channeling Stardew Valley. You have to remember that this is a JRPG land, so you are not dealing with just humans, but also orcs, goblins, and other fantastical beasts. There is also terraforming, the current trend of farming sim started by Animal Crossing. There is farming, crafting, and socializing, the staple of the genre. Do not worry, this is not the calm in Final Fantasy X. Your controlled character is reawakened and finds themselves suddenly in charge of reconstructing the community you live in and having fun with the newly found peace. You take on the role of a magical Hero destined to battle a Dark Wizard and save the world after the final fight, the world is saved from an evil entity. Seemingly, the farming and rebuilding of the town happened after you defeated the final boss in a JRPG. Littlewood has a little twist in its narrative. The art style should remind you of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. If you prefer to dabble in a world of pixels, Littlewood is a good alternative for Stardew Valley. Release Date: Janu(PC) / Ap(Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One) / Aug(Android, iOS). It is not bold to claim that this early access title is much more playable than some games on this list especially the old-school ones. However, this is still an Early Access game, although, to be fair, at its current state, it is more than playable. It is the Wild West and you are to build the rugged city-state. Similar to My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock sets you into a desert community. If you like this game, check out My Time at Sandrock. Fortunately, My Time at Portia has great music while you build, craft, and grind. If the music is grating, no one is going to endure the game. This is mandatory given the ungodly amount of time players pour into this game. That is true even compared to other games included in this list.Īll these farming life simulators have these amazing soundtracks. While My Time at Portia nails the “work” aspect of a life simulation, the relationship building is not that intricate compared to Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing. This is a gorgeous game that should hook in those who are tired of pixelated graphics in farming simulations, or those who are not into the retro aesthetics of Stardew Valley.
One of the best aspects of this game is that it is a colorful 3D game. In the case of this game, you inherit your father’s old building workshop and are tasked to rebuild the workshop from the ground up, and as a consequence, the town itself. Just like the games that came before it, specifically Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, My Time at Portia starts with having a relative die and you inheriting the entire farm. Even though this game is 3D, it still has this cutesy art direction and not some drab gray and brown hyper-realistic graphics. After hundreds of hours of exhausting all the pixelated activities in Stardew Valley, refreshing your perspective with three-dimensional graphics should suit you. If you are looking for a more 3D Stardew Valley experience, My Time in Portia should be a perfect replacement. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town
