Respect. I am so disappointed with what YouTube has become. Everything feels so hyper-optimized for clicks now and there are way too many ads.

Yeah, that could very well be true. The reason I had this expectation is probably because I’ve seen reviews of other people, some of them having hundreds of hours on it and I probably had the impression that I might be doing something wrong and it’s just a matter of getting ‘hooked’. That’s why I kept playing even though I didn’t find it very fun. While I do remember some slight annoyances about it, I do not think it is overall a bad game.

I couldn’t exactly put a finger on it but I am guessing it was just the repetitiveness of it. I didn’t feel like there was anything inherently wrong with the game, it’s just that I was hoping for the moment where it would hook me so hard that I wouldn’t be able to stop playing, but this never really happened.

Sorry to say but Stardew Valley for me – and it is not for a lack of trying, I’ve put in a bit over 82 hours into it, but a fair amount of that was forced and it quickly got stale. Maybe I just played it wrong or the game simply isn’t for me.
