I got this game on the weekend and I’m already obsessed. I never thought a game would have me in a chokehold like Stardew valley did BUT here we are

I have over 1800 hours in SDV (I have to try everything lol). I just started Sun haven, I love it. I would say the 2 games are like apples and oranges. Both fruits, but very very different ones.

The similarities between the two games end at the beginning, and that's definitely a good thing. Hopefully they add more QoL features after the initial release. Hand holding is more than welcome in titles like this.

I'm a long time Stardrew Valley player and I've just started Sun Haven and I love it! The RPG elements are great and no stamina yay! The adjustable time is really nice too. Just everything you mentioned is on point with why I like it. Great video!

Me too! For me what makes sunhaven so good is its unexpectedly good storyline and how the world feels alive. Yes NPCs have template dialogues but I think they're very well done (I'm looking at you, Kynseed). It's also nicely polished, only minor typos and bugs so far. The only thing I'm hoping to see added: QoL, "bonus" contents like more romanceable npcs, more events, more things to buy for late game. But overall, I'm content.

I love the magic and the save on the go feature. But the fact that time passes when I try to decide what to ship annoys me to no end. I like taking my time to make decisions yet I passed out and got fined several times because of this. Wish there's an option to pause the game whenever an in game window is opened, not just during the dialogues.

Ive tried and failed to get into stardew valley many times and failed along with several other similar games, Sun Haven is like someone read my mind and made the perfect farming sim, from the QoL stuff, fun creative fantasy setting, amazing character creation & expression out the gate.

totally agree on best two things over Stardew are the no stamina bar & length of day option (though i wish it had sprinklers)... but get some scarecrows up (& totems) for those crops! :p

you’re so pretty!! 😫 i just discovered your channel today and i love that i found another cozy gamer! i actually just picked this game up on sale like 1 hour before it ended. i don’t regret it at all it’s amazing!!

You helped convince me to get this game! Thank you for the info! Great video!

I recently got into Sun Haven and I'm totally with you - I'm so hooked on it! And it's not only that it looks incredibly cute; it gives us so much freedom to express ourselves and to handle our time management in a pace that we personally enjoy. I wish many more games were like this and let us choose how long our day is going to be. Your video is on point! Keep up the awesome work🥰

I just got this game. I'm a huge Stardew fan. Sun Haven checks a whole lot of boxes for me. Also, You're easy to listen to and your editing style is really good. Keep up the good work.

I just got Sun Haven and I played it for 12 hours straight. I love this game so much!!

Thank you for making this. I was looking for a more recent video on the game. I might give it a try.

If this game ever gets decent steam deck compatibility this will probably be in the top 5 games I’ve played this year

Honestly, I got stardew valley on my switch and pc, but it didn't get me hooked :') but Sun Haven is different! I got hooked by this game for this whole week and I can't wait to go home and continue playing!

Honestly, something about Sun Haven manages to hook me into the game way more than Stardew Valley did. Everything is beautiful visual-wise but there are a lot of improvements need to be made code-wise. For example Withergate's epilogue cut scene with messed up sequence. And our mounts passing through certain buildings.

you have single-handedly convinced me to get this game ; u ; thank u for the review !!

I love the way mines are done in SunHaven, plus the variety of metals

just bought it last week and sameeee im obsessed!

I played this while it was in early access and a lot of the features that are now in the game weren’t there. It’s gotten so much more expansive and I love it! (However I am driving myself mad trying to get one singular fish to finish the spring bundle😂) I love the customisation and the pets are an amazing addition

this looks really cool thanks for the insight about the stamina, idk why games that we love so much still using this system! im so going to check this game out

Before downloading it I already knew that its going to take up my whole year. EVERYTHING about it is so *chefs kiss*

Hello, first thanks to make me discover this amazing game ! Hope frensh patch come on day, and nice video !

i commented this on a different sun haven video literally 5 minutes ago, but in one week i got more hours into sun haven than i did with my real life job, it's that good

Very addicted to this game and have been having SO much fun, but it definitely still needs some fine tuning for sure. Like sometimes transitioning to the next screen/part of the map can lag out, only being able to sell through the little sun idol thing and not at the shops kind of sucks unlike stardew where you can usually sell to most of the vendors, and I wish you could fish in any body of water without waiting for a fish shadow to appear, a little sad the farm animals dont leave the barn ever if theyre in there, you have to pick them up and place them outside if you want them to be grazing out on your field. I LOVE the Day Speed slider, letting you have longer days, I like that you have to say the right things to villagers rather than just talk to them once without any thought. This game makes me so happy, and the positives definitely outweigh the couple of gripes I have with the game that Im sure they'll fix/patch in the future

Playing with my daughter has been even more magical than playing stardew valley--not taking away how spectacular sdv is and the joy it gave us. Plus, sdv inspired this gem.

I’ve been a Stardew fan for awhile now and yesterday I decided I’d be spontaneous and buy it.. oh my god when I tell you I stayed up until 1:06 AM playing this lovely game.. it’s wonderful. I loved finding out about the salon

You’ve sold me on this game. Loved sdv but think I might love this one more 😊

SH and SDV both have extreme levels of control over character customization. The only real differences is SH have Races and you can pick starting items (Profession); Both allow you to re-configure your character later in the game (in SDV it's the golden statue in the wizard's tower once you're friendly enough with him). Everything else is definitely pluses :) I enjoy the no-stamina, and haven't gotten that far into SH yet, but am loving it.

Amazing channel, I hope the subscriptions will grow in the near future.

Thank you for the review, I will try the game out.

Just got sun haven, and to me it feels like stardew valley on steroids. Maybe a mix of Stardew valley and animal crossing actually? The museum having multiple wings and the way fishing works makes me think animal crossing new horizons! And the rest is Stardew on steroids lol. Combat? Let’s add MAGIC to that! Farming? Let’s add your crops BURNING TO DEATH in summer!! Skill points at level 5 and 10? Let’s give a point EVERY LEVEL and make it go to level 70!! Well how about Definitely Stardew on steroids lol a slight downside is that the whole museum thing is very overwhelming. In Stardew and animal crossing both it’s easy to tell what would go where. Artifact or gem? Go to Stardew museum. Fish bug art or fossil? Goes in the respective parts of museum. The museum in sun haven is a bit confusing to navigate, like, I’m not sure what fruits or artifacts and such go where unless I check each pedestal every time I go inside. They might wanna make it so you can just give it to the wing manager. Like god I already horde way more then needed in Stardew and animal crossing, but now it’s gonna be even WORSE in sun haven for me since I have no idea what does or doesn’t go in the fcking museum!! One more slight downside is character customization. Yes, you CAN choose from the 6 different races. But you have a limited option of hair colors and like 20 or so styles, where Stardew gives you a color slider and over a hundred hair options. Even though Stardew doesn’t have the race options, I’d still say stardews character customization is better. It’s neat looking at both animal crossing and Stardew valley and seeing what aspects sun haven adopted from them! Animal crossing: fishing, character customization layout, more roundish character models, no stamina Stardew valley: layered mines, similar physical combat, similar tool set up(hoe, water can, axe ect) and farming, npc romancing and heart event interactions

Just bought the game and playing around two hours and loving it so far. The styles and characters are so cute and we can choose different race and skills that's why I love this game. I also like they added RPG and magic in it. Unfortunately I heard this game still has a lot bugs have not been fixed. I hope this will not affect my playing experience.

Hey! Love your content just one more thing - I have one last question - I am aware that in Nel'vari we have to start a new farm and Im assuming the same for witherwood. What happens to my crops in sunhaven then? Are players expected to manage 3 farms? Also can Nel'Vari and Witherwood crops and animals be grown in Sun Haven? Just wanted to know before moving on and deciding for future

Literally buying now this vid was so convincing

Hi Lindsey, my name is Lindsey too and I too am obsessed with Sun Haven

I just stumbled on your channel. You have such a good vibe.

Glad your channel pop into my list. Definitely check out sun haven

If I haven't played either stardew or SH which one would you recommend to pick first?

Absolutely obsessed and been for a couple years. It is an AMAZING game

You should do a playthrough. You were enjoyable to watch, and I'd love to watch you play.

I own both games and would definitely say sun haven is better! However they’re both amazing in their own way it’s all about personal preference❤️

the game is so fun im 12 hours in and cant wait to play more

I tried playing it when it first came out but gave up because I hate keyboard games but respect those of you who can do games that way. Did they add controller support yet? I do love SDV.

I LOVE this game too, i got it a few weeks ago and have already logged over 48 hours!!!

I love sun haven! There’s so much to do and it never gets boring. I honestly don’t know how many hours I’ve put into it. Far too many I’m sure.

Hey since you like magical farming sims have you ever played any Rune Factory games? I think you might like it the one I have played Rune Factory 4 Special for the Switch it's so fun and it has so much story and things to discover I still have a lot to discover after over 70 hours of gameplay

I have an eye on this game for what feels like an eternity xD im sooooo crawing for this game on switch qq

I cant get part the bobble head character style and the portraits but the rest of this game looks amazing

i wanted to play this game so much, but waited for it to get out of early access and get translation for my language. Now after 3 days of playing it, i get why people are so hyped. The only negative point for me is the lack of good translation and bugs, where you can't talk to someone if you play a translated version

I have 1800 hours in SDV & 350 in Sun Haven. SDV will always be my "first love" and favorite game. Just listening to the music gives me a warm & fuzzy feeling. It is just so comforting to me. Sun Haven is different & good. I really have enjoyed it. I played it in Early Access quite a bit and why my hours are already on the higher side. I pretty much completed the game before it full released. Some things have changed, like the museum, but not how the story unfolds. It's a good game.

hi, i want to unlock withergate but when i go to the near of train station, a guard stopping me. what should i do? cool video btw.

Have to try thiss

Please do a let’s play! You have great energy and a great voice! I can tell you are passionate about this game too, I usually don’t comment but I checked ur channel and wanted to see if u did a let’s play of this game so bad!

Is it available in Android?

Nice and clear voice. I also like the way you create the narration of your Video. I really appreciate the efforts. But😂 you did not Answer the question in the Video title 😂

This game looks very fun!

I just recently stumbled upon this game, and it's definitely on my wishlist!

My only question is if the multi-player is any good? I've heard some mixed feedback, I really just want to be able to play alongside my husband without issue.. the game looks so cute and fun! 😭

Hey dude! I just subbed to you, I'm also loving Sun Haven! Who's your favorite NPC so far?

It looks good, but there are so many Stardew Valley clones now, I lost count of how many there are. Even the legit spiritual successor The Haunted Chocolatier, is almost lost in the shuffle of all of these clones, and considering how long they can be, how can anyone find time to play them all. Still this game looks good, and I'm glad people are liking it.

You need to see the bumblebee mount.

Loving the game but wish tgey they kept the quality system b4 the release. Like crafting a bunch of stuff over and over trying to get a higher tier rarity version of it makes it feel a little more rpgish to me and fun lol

I like weird. If you want to play another Harvest Moon clone that has a lot of weird shit in it, Graveyard Keeper is a good time. You can make zombie slaves to do certain basic tasks for you, like chopping wood or mining stone. Also the first npc you meet is a talking alcoholic skull.

if I had the chance to forget everything about both sun haven and stardew valley (experiencing everything for the first time) would gladly choose stardew valley. but yeah, if you don't like stardew valley then you won't with sun haven. stardew valley is probably a big reason why you would play stardew imo. but -the fact that you see leveling live -lots of abilities -you get wide variety of fantasy if you're into that. -mounts and air dash and air dash also you can abuse some bugs on sun haven like when it's near pass out time just exit the game you will get back near your bed (with clocks rewinding back to 11:00) weapon switcheroo for faster harvest (only works with axe i think) still that hungry slime bug was too unfair D: will get him back on next time we meet.

i like that in Sun Haven you can play with 8 people, but i think for me i like Stardew Valley more, you can have a lot of mods what i love and visually i like Stardew more especially with mods/resurse packs so yeah

short answer YES ^^

The only problem that annoyed me about this game is there's no potrait NPC, beside the NPC that we can rommance, its not a massive problem tbh, but kinda annoyed

No stamina bar, I absolutely love that there is no arbitrary system telling me oh I know it's only 11am but your to tired now and can't do anything else today. It's such a welcome change that after figuring it out I was like ok guys SH is better than SDV sorry not sorry lol

I feel like there's more to do in sun haven ❤

Sun Haven does have a different spark that Stardew Valley just cant match, id say. It feels bigger and more alive with 3 different cultures, and the combat system being more varied too. In stardew valley, it feels like min/maxing your farm is the main goal, but in Sun haven, growing crops is on only a small part of what you should/can do, with there being other viable ways to play as well. And of course, magic and dragons.

I hope it comes out on switch soon I want to play it really bad

only for pc

Sun haven IS better than Stardew Valley.. for one reason... STAMINA SUCKS. Its the one thing that really held me back from getting into stardew valley...

The answer is yes.

Currently the game is so bugged that I just don't care to play anymore. back to stardew.

I really like the concept of this game but the character sprites and how they're chibi looking is what's holding me back. The design's reminds me of those cheap free to play online games on pc. I personally don't like this style but really wanna play this game or a game like this.

I thought Sun Haven was a better game until Roots of Pacha came out

Worst thing i dnt play this game is the flash graphics

Stardew Valley is still a very imbalanced game with many items being pretty much useless, such as most of the food recipes, so many years after it was first launched. I started the game about a month ago and am ready to move on. I am currently looking for another similar game or games in other genre. I will either play project Zomboid or Against the Storm next.

I would say no, to be honest.

stardew valley's only weakness is the lack of magic sun haven has, otherwise stardew valley is >>>

The user interface and overall graphics of this game looks like shit to me. Stardew gives great atmosphere. You can easily compare the quality of art.

Your beautiful, you could play on twitch, maybe many would like to watch, maybe the games too

hey i like your nose

I'm currently at 57hrs and I love this game. My only gripe is they need some work on the multiplayer. Overall it's amazing

Naah game is fake because it is impossible skate on the grass! it is too soft and muddy : D

Yes. It's far superior.
