I don’t think it will ever fizzle out. I do a playthrough of it at least once a year and I’ve convinced at least 7 other people to buy it or I’ve bought it for them. It’s honestly timeless and has been since I bought it day one. Even without the updates and added content it would be and has been my favorite game and I’ve bought it at least 10 times for different platforms and for friends. It’s the kinda game that somehow makes you feel nostalgic from the first time you play it to the fifteenth. Even talking about it makes me wanna go play it again even though I’m in the middle of Ghost of Tsushima.
For sure. The pixel graphics and great soundtrack alone mean it will age beautifully, I can see myself playing it 20-30 years from now. Not to mention mods, Skyrim survived that long thanks to those and stardew’s modding community is super active!
I literally never even played it but what a cool project that guy has. (after reading article)
It’s really worth playing and often available for a very reasonable price. I don’t think it’s a genre that ever seemed like something that would appeal to me but I’ve found it very enjoyable.
It really isn’t for everyone. I tried it and hated every minute of it, super-stressful and tedious and returned it (one of only a handful of games in my Steam collection of a few hundred) because it was advertised as relaxing when it is anything but.
