Stardew Valley (2016)

A self-directed day of planting, fishing or exploring provides a useful little plan when the scenery outside keeps changing. This recommendation is for solo play in the original Switch version; online farm visits are optional. The important travel limitation is saving: ordinary progress is committed when the farmer sleeps at the end of the day. Closing the game halfway through can discard that day's work. Console sleep can hold a brief interruption, but it is sensible to finish the day before changing games or shutting down.
