You can kick back and relax when it comes to the Stardew Valley system requirements, which demand about as much from your hardware as it does from you. Just about any PC or laptop that still draws breath should be able to get you up and running in this legendary pixel farming sim.

I don't care all that much about sales figures, but if creator Eric Barone cared more about money, I can only imagine that a sequel would be all but guaranteed. As it turns out though, the developer could actually see himself making a sequel to the beloved farming sim.
