This game is one of the most difficult, complex, bizarre, insane games with one of the best graphics on the current market. It made my RTX reach unimaginable temperatures and required the full use of my knowledge and my conscience to reach the supreme fullness of being able to have the great honor of being part of this select group of players of this game.
You Will Never Get This Achievement is one of the most transcendental experiences that I have had the glory of achieving in my life that after playing this game I consider myself as incomplete, a human being that after playing this questions itself and puts in check an entire global society formed and divided between people who played this game and people who didn't play this game.
Finally, I leave my record of having reached maximum existence by achieving all the achievements in You Will Never Get This Achievement and today I am wandering around the Steam store in search of something that hits my instincts in the same way that this game did, 10/ 10 fantastic.

This is perhaps the biggest analysis I will ever write, as I had over 400 hours in my previous playthrough and I am currently playing again (100+ hours now). Nothing I will write here, if the developer reads it, is directed at him, but rather about small things that I noticed throughout the game in different ways that led me to write this analysis, which may be both controversial and with great points to be taken into account. Having made that clear from the outset, I will continue with my opinion.

The initial story
The story of Stardew Valley is simple, your grandfather passed away and left you his farm and 500 gold, after you realize that life in the city is a fraud and you only feel dissatisfied and extremely pressured for being an employee of a large corporation characterized by Joja, so far several points can be literally identified to be taken into account such as how long after he received this letter he gave up on the city and if he already knew that he would have everything he acquired and it made no sense to waste time in the city getting or wasting time even with something that his grandfather left him, who in their right mind leaves the title of a farm inside a letter in the office where they work and besides the fact that he could very well have any other job or function but the developer found it interesting to put it that way and with that you create a connection of modern dissatisfaction in which the game puts it in a subtle and very intelligent way in which it does not force anything extraordinary or anything too appealing and prolonged, you won the farm, go there and it is that simple.

Extra achievements(???)
And for me the story ends there and now you can very well live on the farm because taking this into consideration I would say that the achievements could be much more related to the crops and of course the ones you already have than to having friendships with the inhabitants of the city, but I understand the points and they are valid too.

Which side to choose??? The main big question

Stardew Valley leaves you in a moral pickle in which you have to choose 2 options, either you fix the community center on the side of the people (as they imply) or you fix the community center on the side of the evil company, but the reality is that you fix the center only for the sole and express reason of helping the JUNIMOS and nothing more. The people who live in Pelican Town are extremely narcissistic and make every activity in the city be only related to them. It creates the false impression that you become part of the community and that they are humble and peaceful people, but the truth is that you are only doing what they should be doing in theory. None of them make an effort or have a legitimate search for sporadic situations in which it would make sense or that allow them to produce something that benefits them. From the blacksmith you only get the recipe for the furnace because he wants you to sell the bars you produce. The researcher only uses his cave and never appears again. And of course, I couldn't help but start with the mayor, who is the most corrupt and SOB I've ever seen in this game. In addition to the fact that he is corrupt and acts like a victim because of the center that he has no money for and that the evil company is going to use (as the game once again implies). You discover that the supposed money that he was supposed to fix the community center at first was actually spent to make his own golden statue, which you discover later. resolve a secret message, after all who sent the message? Do you understand the point??
As if that weren't enough, this legitimate street politician still has the audacity to, after I exposed him and his dirty tricks, send me a letter asking me not to expose "personal objects", the letter reads:

"{Player's name},

In the future, I would greatly appreciate it if you could refrain from exposing my PERSONAL belongings to the entire city!

This was a huge disappointment!

Take this money and never speak of my 'project' to anyone again."

And as if this SOB enormous nerve wasn't enough, he still tries to bribe me to buy my silence. From this point on, you realize that people are complacent and complicit with what he does and plans, so much so that no one runs against him to be mayor, already classifying him as a populist of the worst kind, since as I said before, just like the inhabitants, everything is about him and you are just a puppet who must please him and do things so that the one who receives the recognition is him and what he plans. And so it goes with all the characters:
Abigail (According to Dev's words): "You can find Abigail alone in the cemetery, or perhaps in a storm looking for frogs." = Lonely person who also seeks things that we never see her have.

Alex (Dev's words):
“Alex loves sports and spending time at the beach. He's a bit arrogant and brags to everyone that he's going to be a professional athlete." = Arrogant behavior

Elliot (Dev's words):
“Elliott lives alone in a cabin on the beach. He's a writer who dreams of one day writing a magnificent novel." = Selfish person who lives alone on the beach.

Haley (Dev's words):
“Being rich and popular throughout high school has made Haley a bit conceited and selfish. She has a tendency to judge people based on superficial reasons." -Do I need to say anything???

Sebastian (Dev's words): “Sebastian is a lonely rebel who lives in his parents' basement. He's Maru's older half-brother, and feels like his sister gets all the attention and adoration while he's left to rot in the dark. = Forced to be selfish due to the selfish and negligent behavior of his parents who indirectly encourage him.

And I couldn't forget to mention Pierre who is always so worried about Joja going bankrupt and losing his customers that he still doesn't open on Wednesdays for nonexistent reasons when he could take this day off on a Saturday or Sunday.

Citing these 6 examples is more than enough to support my argument about how narcissistic and selfish these people are and that the best way is to stay away from them and the entire community that surrounds them. Other than that, Stardew Valley is a very cool and fun game in its own way, it never ends and puts you in a way that can be fun or hard work to deal with the farm and of course to finish I leave my biggest congratulations to the Developer for creating such a fun game but with very questionable people who show a subliminal criticism of various aspects in various possible ways that are noticeable throughout the game and with that the masterpiece in its own peculiar way that Stardew Valley is.

Well I never got any cheaters in any lobby in my 6 hours and I can say that because I don't play anymore and don't know the state of this game so far, but performance and graphically are very good
