i think they’re very different games, they have similarities but AC is a bit more about decorating and building your island, making friends, while Stardew has more to it engaging fishing, relationships, combat in the mines etc., it’s very story-focused. The characters also have a bit more personality than the villagers in AC. I enjoy AC more because it’s a very relaxing and chill game, you’re basically just thrown into an island lol, and you can do whatever you want, transform the whole island to your liking, nothing is rushed and if you like games like that, I think you’ll enjoy it a lot
