Fields of Mistria 1.0 Is the Best Kind of Bad News for Stardew Valley

The wait is finally over for Fields of Mistria 1.0, and its full release brings plenty of fresh content that has what it takes to eventually dethrone Stardew Valley as the go-to cozy farm sim. Stardew Valley helped pave the way for Fields of Mistria to stake its claim as one of the top farm sims to watch, but what sets the latter apart is its emphasis on its world being filled with magic and featuring deeper relationships. The Stardew Valley influence is clear, but Fields of Mistria is far from a copycat farm sim.
