What are your top farming games and how would you rank them as of 2022?

I am looking for something cozy to play to unwind after work and it seems there are so many farming games now-- Dinkum, Coral Island, Dreamlight Valley, Hokko, Spirit of the Island, etc. I can't decide which one to try first! What would you guys recommend? The ones with Online Coop would be a plus!

Just a background, I grew up with Harvest Moon Back to Nature and I have over 300+ hours with Stardew Valley. These are definitely my favorite ones and I'm finding it hard to find another farming game that would surpass these. Hope I can try another cozy farming game that are close to these.

Most people consider Stardew Valley as the peak of the genre.

It's a bit different from a farmy game a la stardew, but ranch simulator is a great little farm game that involves building, livestock, pretty sure crop farming is here now, you can even make meat into sausages and make cheese and stuff.

First\third person game, not a top down. You have to cut and mill your own trees into planks, there's vehicles, there's hunting, there's trading, there's chickens!

Cozy level - it's almost boringly comfortable. Really engaging though. Has online too!

I haven't heard about this until now. Sounds interesting! Graphics also look like Farming Simulator which is okay with me. Would definitely consider this. Thanks for the detailed review and recommendation!

No worries, I picked it up in 21 while I was watching a lot of homestead rescue lmao, and it's pretty fun, you even start with a little all-terrain golf cart :D

On the shorter side and it won't last you 300 hours but Graveyard Keeper was a good one.

I keep hearing about this, somehow I just keep putting it off feeling scared about the setting in a graveyard lol but would definitely consider this one in future, thanks!!

No worries, it's not scary. No jumpscares or sudden weird stuff happening.

It's more a dark humor kind of thing I suppose.
