Is Stardew Valley suitable for children?

[sonikku]

We will be playing in coop but is it too hard for 10 years old kid?

[小果子]

Of course

Just depends on what you want the child to do. The farming/animal caring is pretty straight forward but the combat can get a bit frustrating. I think a ten year old can do pretty much anything in the game. If its coop there shouldnt be a problem

Hahahahahahahaha no. The combat in this game is literally "spam the mouse button to win".

The combat aspect is no more difficult than Zelda was back in the day, and i played that no issue as a 10 year old.

Combat is probably the most difficult aspect of the game. So your kid should be fine.

Thanks folks I guess im gonna go for it!

That's way too harsh, Exorb. It's a perfectly reasonable question... and you can't just say "no offense" and then call their question "stupid".

[Snowpierce]

is it tho how the hell is a reasonable question? riddle me that. its like asking if a kid can watch a freaking Disney movie. its a dumb question. it should be obvious.

Some scenes (with Shane and its alcohol addiction for example) may be a bit harsh for kids so no, the question isn't stupid.

Ive seen screenshots of some npc talking about suicide though but wasnt sure about rest of the game.

[sonikku]

Dude chill.

its not too hard for a 10 year old because i play and i'm only 11

[Snowpierce]

now that you have played the fricking game you should know there are some SMALL SMALL PARTS LIKE CRUMB SIZE parts in the game that are bad. if i where 7 my parents wouldnt care! if they knew the whole story about the game and what its all about. and if you only see the part where its bad you can never see the good. god people are like seriously stupid ssometimes

[Nulien]

Exorb, calm down.

Sonikku, that's Shane's story... he deals with depression and alcoholism... but his story is the only one like that. The entire rest of the game is much lighter toned than that.

[Snowpierce]

fine it just gets on my nerves that they dont look at the full thing

[MightyJean]

Giving a warning about some darker bits of the game doesn't mean we can't look at the bigger picture and enjoy the game as the awesome piece of art it is. There's no need to call names for that.
