Title. I figure that by now the dust has settled from the rush of opportunistic copycats - what are the best games to play if I like Stardew Valley but I’m already finished with it?

Cozy games are unironically fascist propaganda.
Look, I get it, implying that the way to escape the woes of modern life is to just move out into an idyllic countryside and, you know, REJECT MODERNITY RETVURN TO PARSNIPS isn’t really an actual solution, but also like. Come on. Stardew Valley is explicitly about how capitalism destroys community - the game’s megacorporation LITERALLY destroys the center of the community to improve their profits if you let them. Also you’re expected to treat everyone in the community with respect regardless of their circumstances - e.g. the unhoused man Linus and the heavy drinker Shane are designed for you to empathize with them rather than the usual right wing response of being shamed for their ‘inferiority.’
No comment on the wider genre, haven’t played that many other games.
then all games are fascist propaganda. matter of fact, all activities are fascist propaganda. furthermore, life is fascist propaganda. furtherfurthermore, existence itself is fascist propaganda.
What a stunningly stupid take.
