My latest obsession is Coral Island, a shameless 3D near-clone of Stardew Valley. Well 90% similar, with a few innovations and QoL changes/improvements. It even (most probably) makes reference to the creator of Stardew Valley, known as Concerned Ape, with an NPC in the game called Concerned Monkey. I wonder how he feels about this game, but it's a game enough in it's own right, and very polished, that I think it's respectfully done... imitation is the best form of flattery and all that. Anyway it's an awesome game, and certainly an interesting experience in 3D compared to the 2D pixel art of SV, with just as much scope (and grind... which I love), if not more, than Stardew Valley, and has me daydreaming about playing just as much as Stardew did, unable to switch off while planning my next designs and moves in the game. Fully expect to sink 1000+ hours into this game like I did for Stardew.
