I’m doing some looking into Stardew Valley as I consider buying it on Steam. I’ve heard that SDV has several complicated mechanics, especially compared to newer cozy games. By this, I mean complex NPC schedules and friendships, very involved farming, a very short game day, a relatively punishing curfew, and game elements that may not be readily apparent to a new player and can be a bit unforgiving if you miss them. For those who have played it, would you say that it’s more “hardcore” than the more recent entries in the genre?

Thanks for any opinions!
