Stardew Valley = GOAT of indie games?Nearly 10 years later and it’s now the highest-rated indie on Steam. 98% reviews, top 2 of all time across all genres. Is it deserved or just nostalgia hype?

W dev. One dude solo carried harder than Valve in the last 5 years.

Played it during COVID and again after 1.6 — game still hits. It’s not just farming, it’s relaxing, deep, and somehow never boring. Easily top 3 indie ever.

Better love story than most AAA games. Actually emotional lmao.

Not my kind of game, but the numbers don’t lie. You don’t get 98% with 700k+ reviews unless you really did something right. Props to ConcernedApe for cooking for a decade straight.

Never played it but respect the grind. 10 years and still climbing.
