Stunning cel-shaded farming sim Across the Valley will take root on PSVR2 from 6th April, and here’s a first trailer to give you an indication of what to expect. The title will see you planting crops, raising animals, and even shovelling sh*t – all with the aim of raising money to expand your agricultural exploits.
“Our devoted team is proud to bring a fan favourite genre to the most powerful virtual reality hardware,” developer FusionPlay’s Konrad Kuntze beamed. “The soil is a canvas and the farmers are the artists! Using their hands, they will raise adorable animals, nurture copious crops, and manage the farm of their dreams.”
We’re really enjoying some of the gameplay mechanics on display here: you need to shear your sheep, milk your cows, and physically basket your spoils. We’re expecting a laidback experience, set in a serene, vibrantly coloured setting. Obviously titles like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon are huge, so this should prove a welcome addition to PSVR2’s lineup.

This game alone is worth the $1050.
Not usually my thing, but watching those sheep grow up is undoubtedly cute.
As soon as my girlfriend saw the trailer, she smiled from ear to ear without saying a word. Guess I'll have to buy it now. sigh
I think this would be preferable to the other Garden game 😅
I just write this comment to see what happens with the word *****.
I was all set to mock it...but....actually........this looks good...?
I’ll be interested when the social elements of Harvest Moon come into play. I enjoy the farming in Rune Factory, but without the social elements it would be pretty boring. Doing that in VR sounds good, but not with half the point of the game missing.
This actually looks pretty good, will wait for a review, defo interested in it.
Looks to be promising. Will keep my eyes on this one.
@HotGoomba did you just casually leave out the cost of a TV and the electricity bills?
No, that's okay. I worked enough on the family farm.

That’s a good point. Something to do other than just farming is essential for me, thinking about it (unless it’s a cheap £15 game or something).
Reminds me of this funny video I saw a while back: https://youtu.be/kY9EX28GKvk
Looks like shovel ware, but I would have said the same thing about star tenders. These games tend to be fun in VR. Better not be more than 20 bucks.
"I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of milking your cow."
"We don't have a cow. We have a bull..."
The games looks quite fun.
Guess we'll count our blessings that VR headsets still haven't progressed to the point of replicating smells.
(Although I believe some people were experimenting with that kind of thing.)
