Maybe I'm doing something wrong but Stardew Valley stresses me out way more than many other games. There's so little time

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I managed to get into Stardew after some insistence, but I also struggled with this for a long time and I know exactly why in my case after coming back to harvest moon for a bit: the player character is too slow. You spend soooo much time walking and unlike HM/RF you don’t have a sprint button, so everything becomes more stressful to do.

Yeah you're running by default but it can easily take an in-game hour to get anywhere. When you're done with the plants or animals you have to race to get to the shops in order to be there before closing. Especially the blacksmith

See, after one year everything repeats indefinitely. You literally can’t miss anything. So there’s actually infinite time. If you’re stressing out like “omg spring is gone and I didn’t grow abc”. That’s what’s supposed to happen - you’ll grow it next spring.

Even the individual days go by so fast though

[–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's why I prefer roots of pacha. You can make days 2x as long in the settings

I felt the same way when I tried playing it. I'm so glad I saw your comment - I feel less alone, lol.
