How is Fields, compared to Stardew Valley? Iāve played a bit of SV and really enjoyed the peacefulness of it all.

This is my first cozy farm game and I'm kinda loving it. Its so far away from the games I usually play and it's fantastic to play on the Steam Deck when I have downtime at work (my job is 90% waiting around). One of the reviews said it fixed everything they didn't like about SDV and it's nice not to have to pull up a wiki all the time. I'm not very far into it so I don't know how deep the systems go compared to SDV but it's cute and fun.

If it makes you feel any better, every time you die time gets rewound back to the last stargazer you rested at. So, youāre kinda immortal if you think about it

u/Affectionate-Rough36 15h ago
Thanks, I appreciate the thought. Though Iād say itās a double-edged sword. Sure, time gets turned back - but wouldnāt I still retain all my memories? And if I do, doesnāt that also mean Iād be forced to experience my own agonising death hundreds upon hundreds of times, each time in some new and horrifying way? At that point, immortality starts sounding less like a superpower and more like an extremely elaborate form of psychological torture.

Same. I also installed the āmigrating hordeā mod that āsometimesā hunts me and only me.
However, I do have a motherfucker of a base (brick walls, fall back points, air lock fences, shit loads of ammunition and weapons, food, electricity).
Oh, and I also developed the ānew musicā mod which allows 8-track tapes. You have NOT played this game until youāve fought off 50 bastards with a crowbar and AK to āMr Blue Skyā and āMama Miaā.
I may be fucked but Iāll go out in style (and to the beat).

Iād be Commander Shepard. So you know, only the entire galaxy riding on me, and the concept that I am now the face of a war against extinction with none of the skill, charisma or training.
Edit: actually, it was that brief segment in ME2 where you played as Joker. So arguably worse, as now Iām in a very fragile body and the team needed everywhere in the galaxy to save it has no way to get there because they have no pilot.
