Concerned Ape Knows How to Keep Stardew Valley Fresh
A beautiful game keeps getting better with the 1.5 update
The most recent update to Stardew Valley was the biggest expansion yet. Introducing a brand new character, a new farm map, new character cutscenes and flavor text, a new area, and a new achievable for completing the game at 100%, it essentially acts as a full-on expansion pack for the game.
There are also a few somewhat silly updates (that I still adore). Ducks can now swim. You can sit in the chairs. There’s new music to enjoy and a few new upgrades you can add to your house.
On top of that, though, Barone continued his signature consideration for his community with the inclusion of several improvement-of-life updates. You can now move your bed in your house (a major source of annoyance for many players in the original game). There is also now an option to make the community center guaranteed first-year completable, which reduces the need for repetitive grinding to get certain rare materials necessary for it. He’s also added several aesthetic items like new hairstyles and clothing options, as well as some improved graphics.
