10) Stardew Valley (Late 2017)
Slap on those denim dungarees and grab a rake, it’s time to get ready for the agricultural grow-em-up sensation that everyone keeps talking about. Eric Barone’s super successful indie sensation Stardew Valley is coming to Nintendo’s handheld hybrid, which’ll be the first console to take advantage of the game’s intriguing new multiplayer modes.
Heavily inspired by Harvest Moon, this RPG farming sim places you in the work boots of a modest agriculturalist, with the simple aim of growing and maintaining your own personal farmstead. Fishing, crafting, cooking, delving into critter-infested caves and trading with the local villagers, are all peppered into the mix, too, which is sure to make any would-be farmer one happy chappy.
Prepare to get your plow on, tend those fields and sow all the seeds your heart desires — this is one farming sim that’ll really get your creative and horticultural juices flowing. Seriously though, those denim dungarees are purely optional.
