Should I play stuff like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley?

Do you like games like the Sims, where you are building a family and giving them professions? That is somewhat similar to Harvest Moon. Or simulation games in general with no combat? If you don't, chances are you won't like these games.

It's... more fun than you think. I guess it's more about the whole living in a small town and having your own farm and befriending the inhabitants. If you like something like Animal Crossing is very possible that you actually will like these kind of games.
But is up to you anyway.
Also, I could recommend Rune Factory which adds action rpg with item crafting to the harvest moon formula, specially the third that has a pretty small farm and honestly it's your main way of money making only early on. Later on you use it more for the runes and the ingredients for cooking, and if you train monsters to water, you essentially only plant and harvest and spend most of your time in the dungeons or the town.
But at the end of the day the best way to see these games is as cozy life simulators. If you like that go for it, if you don't, better to not bother.

I thought the same, then I tried "Trio of Towns Story of Seasons" for 3ds because I was attracted by the cute graphics. I admit I stopped playing after a while, because it was becoming complicated (a lot of stuff to build for completing the various requests), but I enjoyed my time with it. I never played other sims after that, though: the only one I played before was "Animal Crossing" for ds, I played it for one year almost every day.
Play the game you enjoy never force your self. I mean there are several games I do not enjoy.
But at the same time I often try to say to people at least give it a try if you can how ever you can it never hurt I mean you could discovery a new genre to enjoy.
Games are meant for entertainment something we all seam to forget now and then so if you don´t enjoy your self better go play something that you have fun playing because that´s what´s most important your enjoyment.

Animal crossing is boring
If you want something similar but with story and action, play Rune factory. But if not don't bother

This is the third time you've posted this exact message in the last 30 minutes or so...
...who hurt you???
was it the mole??
Then maybe stardew or Rune factory could be something has they both have more RPG elements with combat and such.
But yeah maybe does games are not your type of candy and that totally okey better you play games you enjoy.
that doesn't answer the question.
if you want to chill and relax, then harvest moon and stardew valley would be right for you to play. if you want a story and active game mechanics, then rune factory would be more suitable.
You can always play Rune Factory if base farming seems dumb. Rune Factory has a more in depth combat system than Stardew Valley, thats for sure.
Farming simulator is a farming simulator. Stardew and harvest moon are more narrative driven games with some light rpg progression mechanics and farming sim mechanics to fill it out.
It’s relaxing, and you can always stop when you feel like you’ve gotten enough out of it and still feel like you had a good experience. Worth a shot

Stardew Valley has combat?
That's a first I've ever seen someone say about Animal Crossing, but I guess I can see why you said it since maybe you've played the games and done everything in the games, like paid off your house mortgage to Tom Nook, got all of the villagers that you wanted and so on. I specially know what that's like since I've been playing New Horizons since 2020 and there's honestly not much else to do in the game unless I want to fully remodel my town.
animal crossing is more of a game to play with friends and families. if you play by yourself, your goals are more limited to catch all of the bugs and fish, collect all paintings and fossils, ay off the debt, and do a bit of decorating on the island and house.
play with others and you can run around, fall into pit traps, have fishing and bug catching contest when you want to, chill and hang, make pixel art and memes. you get more out of it with others.
animal crossing is like that cute and calm relaxing anime wifu you wish you had.
Rune factory is more the bad ass but yet cute anime wifu that likes some hot action.
Stardey valley is more the anime wifu that will hold you hand say it will be all okey and she will bitch slipe some bad guys for you know and then.

A large portion of the game is battling monsters in the mines while you look for minerals and resources, yeah.
True but a lot of people that you may play with might suddenly not play the game anymore.
yeah, that happens too.

They can be quite relaxing, which is something we need more of in general these days. So yeah... I'd say pick up Stardew Valley and go nuts!
Stardew Valley - its a farming game but there's more action stuff to do in it. I think this one has the broadest appeal, and is probably the first one id play. Rune Factory also is another, "play this if you want there to be action."
Harvest Moon - can be cool to progress in, building up your farm, but a big part of it is the relationships, and attending the events and festivals. So if youre not interested in the characters then this might not be very fun.
Animal Crossing - not the kind of game that you sit down and play 5+ hours straight of. Its more of a, hop on, play for an hour, hop off. When you hop back on it the next day you'll have stuff to do again. Its also alot better with other people. Its a very slow game that is meant to be taken in small doses.
