after long day at my job, i just wanna kick back and relax. maybe holding a controller instead of keyboard and mouse would be nice.

i like stardew valley but the experience with controller is just poor. it’s just not designed to work that way (even with the controller mod). thus the question. Any cool ideas?

      My wife played that game for longer than I’ve played most games, and she only ever played it with a controller. She also liked Littlewood, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and Cozy Grove; she only ever used a controller for them.

      I never tried with KB/M so I can’t say. But I never really felt it was deficient. Selecting stuff from the menus certainly would have been faster with a mouse, but it was perfectly tolerable. If anything, like animal crossing, it adds to the slow play.

      Give Spiritfarer a shot, full controller support and even a bit of harvest, fishing, and adventure to boot. 30 hours easy if you take your time, more if you want. Super chill game.

      I also feel Stardew works insanely better on KBM. Terraria too. I WANT to use controller and sit back and be comfy, but I just feel like I’m fiddling more and not as relaxed as point and click.
