If you’ve read any articles from our chapter, you’ve probably already been sold on how amazing of a game Stardew Valley is. This farming sim is the true epitome of a cozy game. Luckily enough, there is also a cooperative mode where you can work on building the perfect farm with others. The game moves so much faster when you have more hands to help, and before you know it you’ll be finishing the community center and raking in the big bucks. It’s great for cooperative play if one partner wants to farm while the other wants to fight in the caves, or one is on a mission to befriend all the NPCs and the other is intent on petting every animal daily. Stardew Valley is also available on pretty much every platform, but some do not allow cross-play, so make sure to check before you invest!
