Also, to piggyback onto your comment. Stardew valley without mods is still a very enjoyable game. I had about 300 hours in the game before I installed my first mod. There's a lot of great quality of life ones, but out of the box it's still phenomenal.
To add to this;
The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.
Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It's an insanely positive influence in my life.
Oh I know Stardew Valley is still enjoyable, I bought it years ago and then I even bought the book/guide for it and I probably have played the equivalent of what you've played, I'm sure I'm well into 300 hours by now. But, it does get stale, and repetitive - it does make one wish for more game content, even with the update that brought the "golden walnuts" island expansion to it.
