Everyone has their own reasons for loving Stardew Valley: the coziness, the music, the romance, the mods. Sure, I’m deeply appreciative of all those elements too – despite all the challengers that came after its launch ten years ago today, and the many more that will spring up in the future, Stardew remains one of the best life games ever made. However, there’s an even more important reason why Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone’s masterpiece is one of my all-time favorites – it still holds the record as the game I’ve played the most with my wife.

 I firmly believe Stardew Valley’s multiplayer update was the most important of the last decade, because its magic is well worth sharing.  PCGamesN
