Stardew Valley, a low-key farming/life simulator, has been a success on multiple platforms including PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Now Switch owners have a firm release date of October 5, and the game will probably excel there, too.

Our Take
To have the announcement and release be so close together is a great surprise. Stardew Valley seems like a perfect fit for the Switch, and gamers can expect to invest dozens of hours in this charming and addictive sim. Plus, with recent releases like Golf Story and Steamworld Dig 2, the Switch's library has recently been getting a nice dose of retro charm.
