I would like to play a farming game that also has good romance options in it. What's your favorite?

I have a good relationship with my tractor in Farming Simulator 2025. ๐Ÿฅฒ

(Stardew Valley is top tier but I have also heard good things about Coral Island. There's also the whole Harvest Moon franchise)

Haha, that sounds great ๐Ÿ˜‚ I played both, but I never focused so much on the romance part of these games until I recently picked up Sun Haven again and had a ton of fun raising my relationships with townies. I think I will give Harvest Moon a shot at some point!

Recently played through Story of Seasons Grand Bazzar and its was pretty good ๐Ÿ‘

I'm not aware of any other than Stardew Valley.

Littlewood, perhaps? Verdant Skies?

[โ€“] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

I don't know them

[โ€“] Ypsilenna@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never played them. How is Verdant Skies in your opinion? I remember seeing screenshots from that game, but I never got deeper into it.

[โ€“] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

I've never played them either, but I've heard of them. Afaik Littlewood has a gender neutral option baked into it, rather than that you kind of have to mod your way into it (and even with that mod in Stardew, you still don't have a third option).

I'm mostly fan of Stardew Valley but I didn't play too much farming sims tbh

Rune Factory is another popular series to look into that has farming and relationships

Not my type of game so I don't have an answer, but I would also crosspost this to a bigger gaming comm so you can get more engagement. :)

Thank you for your response! Yeah, maybe I will do that.
