Pretty much the title. What games do you love and what makes them not stardew valley stand out ( be it gameplay quirks, storyline, minigames… ) ?

    I’m a fan of the Rune Factory series. It’s basically Harvest moon married to a traditional fantasy RPG. I don’t enjoy RPGs enough to play many of them these days, but there’s something about adding the two together that makes it extra special.

    And the character designs, both in visuals and in personalities, are extremely anime. Rune Factory 3 kicks it up a notch, making characters tropey to the point of insanity. I can see some thinking that’s a bad thing… but it’s what I like.

    Rune Factory 4 has an extremely long story, to the point it’s kind of ridiculous. But because the base game is fun, I just keep returning to it and chipping away at it between periods playing other games.

      So I got RF4 based on this thread’s glowing recs, and I like it a LOT! The extremely anime thing is more than fine with me, except for Arthur’s bangs. What the heck, Arthur. What kind of haircut is this?
