recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Stardew Valley. I don't find it relaxing at all but a chore and stressful due to the day/night cycle. I feel like Terraria is handling day/night much better.

Yep. I love planting things, harvesting them... I want Stardew Valley without the time management stuff.

If you’re on PC, there’s mods to help with the time (even stopping it altogether). I haven’t tried them out myself, but this mod would solve the time management issue: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/169

Yeah, I've tried those out before. It tends to make the game feel weird, if that makes sense? Like, everything is still expecting time to progress.

Really, I want a game like Stardew, but without the hard timeline baked in from the start.

Same. I loved the gameplay but I dropped it eventually because the short day cycle was stressing me out. Sometimes I just want to chill in the game world without my character passing out. This is why I really like Animal Crossing.

YES! I don't know what it is about Stardew Valley but I find it just so clunky and annoying.

Weirdly, I am currently playing an Early Access game called Coral Island. It gets compared to SDV a lot, but I find it so much better. Even if it's not a complete game yet.
