This year's Steam Summer Sale has kicked off and if I could convince all my fellow cozy gamers to pick up one thing it would be Fields of Mistria. It's got a nice little 20% discount during the sale, going for just $11.19, which is a dang good price for an already excellent farm sim that's about to launch its completed version.
The magical girl anime-inspired farm sim has been in Early Access for a couple years, and as soon as its 1.0 launch lands in August it's going to officially take the top spot on my favorite games like Stardew Valley list. Mistria's cast of characters is so much more charming and lively than any other farm sim I've played in the past decade. It's been two years and I still can't decide which one to marry, which I'll finally be able to do after the 1.0 version lands.
Even on a normal day, Mistria is one of the cheapest farm sims around. While most of the post-Stardew crop go for around $30, Mistria has always been $14. NPC Studio confirmed to me during its 1.0 date announcement that the price isn't going to increase after the August 5 update, which rocks. Getting it for an extra couple bucks off is even better, especially knowing it'll be in a completed state in about a month.
