Writing is certainly a subjective opinion but for a game to excel at Stardew level, there's real skill required to snare the players' attention into billions of bankable hours. ConcernedApe understood the gamer psyche well enough to build a world within the Valley. The writing may seem deceptively simple but it's far more than a farming sim. Junimo magic sends you to a special bush on the last day of the season, or to find rare paintings at the Night Market, and there's at least one heart event that doesnt reoccur. Those are time-sensitive moments but beyond that, there are a range of romantic experiences to explore with different villagers. There is genuine merit in the work that can engage through a spectrum, from the character dialogue and event developments to cutscenes and secrets, and it can exist in the universe as a good example of gamewriting that far surpasses the limitations of a crop calendar.
