In Defense of Stardew Valley...

Описание: welcome to my first video essay. hopefully, it was okay lol.

i had been thinking about this topic for months. well, more like a year now.

with so many new games popping up that have been inspired from stardew, i wanted to take the time to process what it means when some of these games are described as stardew but better. i know these game have their own challenges constantly being compared to stardew, but i wanted to focus on stardew and its impact specifically in this video.
