To start, Yes i fully believe the game is worth the cost, id pay for it twice, i promise it is worth the time and money if you have ever enjoyed any RPG game ever. and now this is why.
BTW, there may be spoilers!
I would like to start by saying i have 70 hours in the game already. In that amount of time ill tell you my experience and how i feel about the game.
First- I beat the game 95% in 70 hours already, I finished most of these packages you fill for the community, i found all of the special key places, Mr.Qui's clubhouse and secured my position as the Hero of Stardew Valley. In just 60 hours, Im at the point where i have no need to farm anymore because i have just so much money, and all of my skills are maxed already, and i have all of the house and farm upgrades, once again in just 60 hours. This would be the only negative thing i would have to say. Which i understand is because the game is alpha and the game just was released. Im assuming that this lack of content will be fixed, i have a really good feeling about ConcernedApe and the ChuckleFish crew. I really do, now the things im wrong about already, first of all, im not done with the game, there is such a in depth social system when gifting gifts to people versus just learning about charcacters you care about, from linus selling you special bate to having a wife and kids/ husband and adopted kids or you know. I havent done anything with this system because i wanted eough time to focus on it. Its overwhelming thats how in depth it is. Also there are a ton of collectibles and each one takes you on another adventure. My example of this is the amount of time i spent trying to just catch the legend which is a legendary fish, so after my chores, milking, harvesting, etc on rainy days once a year you have the chance to catch this damn fish. But i had a ton of fun and this game completly brought back the things i enjoyed the most about minecraft and harvest moon and terarria and most rpg's.
Positives-In those 60 hours i had alot of fun, i also almost played 60 hours straight, I love this game, If you have ever played Minecraft, Terraria,Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, you will love this game. For what is there it is done really well, there is a in depth plot and story, there are a ton of collectibals and secrets around the map, which is awesome. There are alot of things to do within the first couple of years but after that there becomes litterly nothing to do because you have done everything but grind to collect everything. <--- no true, there is always something to do.
This leads my to the last quick part, is if the game with what was released was priced any higher than 15 dollars i wouldnt recommend this title, but for 15 dollars you are getting every pennies worth and you will be apart of a future project that will be really well done. Thanks guys! <--- with multiplayer which is going to be a thing, you could charge more.
