The peaks and ‘Stardew Valley’s of Android releases

by Jeremy Rogers This review is of the Android release of 'Stardew Valley.' The game was played on a phone that has a Snapdragon 845 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and runs ver. 9.0.4 of OxygenOS. I, like so many others, have fallen head over heels for the endearing, agrarian little town created by Eric Barone. I have racked up around 150 in-game hours of Stardew Valley across both the PC and Switch releases of the game, cultivating my own farms and starting my own online co-operative. As the game has added features since its original 2016, some have been implemented more easily than others. So how does this new resident in the Valley fit in with the other entries in the series? With some of the more problematic features like multiplayer absent at launch, will that help make for a purple star game, or will the perturbed spirits do everything they can to make this entry worse?
