Stardew Valley

Ah, Stardew Valley, the game where escaping corporate drudgery leads to... farming. Because nothing says 'thrilling gameplay' like watering virtual parsnips. You trade in your cubicle for a digital hoe and start living the 'simple life', which apparently includes befriending pixelated townsfolk who have the personality of a soggy bread loaf. And let's not forget the 'exciting' process of watching mud dry, I mean, crops grow. It's like Animal Crossing if it lost its charm and decided to take up agriculture. If I wanted to experience mundane rural life, I'd visit my uncle’s farm and save the bandwidth.
